Stueym had been in charge, but he's been silent for a while on the topic. We've had offers to host from The Hip Cola and Spud, not sure about that latter one though. We need a show of hands on this I think. I'm mostly done and can probably be done by the 30th which is the deadline. Here's what else I know.

Caravan Ray - Finished
The Hip Cola – Out (But offering to host songs)
Smalltown Mike – Out (But never officially declared an entry that I’ve found)
Pegor – Out (And ashamed)
Leaf – Out (Continuing his struggles with the new home / studio)
Albatross – Out (Unless the deadline gets extended)
Jack and J$ - Caught with their pants down.
Blue – Losing money on the Eagles vs. Green Bay game.

Oh No! Not I!.... I was just a willing administrator of the list of participants. This is Luke's (Weasleslayer) challenge :-)

Last I saw was plans for self hosting of the files or THC would offer host space and provide coordinated page with all links. THC you still up for it?

I am trying desperately to get finished and submitted by Weds. Trying not to provide a sucky entry is drinving me crazy, but what the hell :-)!

Luke, can you please declare that 30th is final entry date?
THC please confirm you can facilitate the final entry and offer instructions for folks to send you their links/files?

Keep at it guys!

Eh, if we're only gonna have like two people send stuff in, we can move the deadline (even though that sucks and you're all babies!). But um, yeah, THC it would be fannnntastic if you could host this.

thanks Stuey for the heads up... and for sure, I'm down for hosting this. Anyone with mp3's pm me, and I'll set you up with ftp access to upload your tracks to. And as I told Mr. M., only the most basic no frills page is what I can provide, 'cuz I suck at webprez. If something with a bit of glam and show is desired, and someone can do it up, all the better. But we'll get 'em posted one way or another! :)

Just wish I had the time to get in on this.... :roll:

OK so I've finished my bits tonight, just need to sequence them. Then tomorrow night fit in the bits from Bill Heuristics and maybe some Jack Shite pants-up scenario, but if not, hey, I'll be done by wednesday. No problems.

Pants down, indeed. If I ever get caught with my pants down, it's because I want to be ...

Coming your way in about 15 minutes!

And I am also happy to host and design you all a pretty little page, if you so require...

The Jack, J$. & H Inc. entry has me a little worried. Damn, time to fine tune things even more. Not that I need the extra time, but if everyone wants to wait until Monday, December 5th to give the laggers behind more time to catch up over the weekend and J$ time to set up a page, I'm down with an extension. If not, see you all on Wednesday.

I'll be able to have some sort of BeWells entry ready for Wednesday. There are still a couple of things I haven't finished recording and a few spots that need some touch up work, but at the least I can mix together what I already have tomorrow night for a slightly stripped down rendition.

i already sent him some stuff (what he asked for so far)... that was just in case he wanted more from me given that it looks like our group is half the original size.

Nah, don't worry, Bill - I am fine. You've heard the song pretty much as it will be, anyway. Just a bit more texturing required, which your stuff takes care of.

Shame the supergroup idea didn't come off, especially as the general feedback about the demo was so good, but that's the nature of the board. Two people just haven't been around for a while, and the other two are notorious flakes :)

Hey Leaf & KA

I (like to) think that you all know me well enough by now not to worry about it! As much as I would have loved to have you on board, I'm not sitting at home getting depressed about you not being able to contribute.

You have lives, you have tastes, not always gonna work in sync with
mine. Would still love to collaborate with you both some day soon. (well, again, in Leaf's case). I would have soldiered on regardless and released a 'solo' version, anyway, but fortunately Bill & Jack came through with some excellent stuff. And I'm only teasing about the flakiness anyway!

But yes, Leaf, I am talking about you :)

I wasn't worried about it! Just awknowledging to the masses. You know, cause they all know so little about us, you know, due to our rather timid and wallflower type posting personalities.


Cause we're like, background kinda people.


I think Blue has a link for us. :lol:
