Looks like he's still fighting.

Well, but he used to run the skirmishes, is all. 'swhy I'm askin'.

I can't do this one. I'm hosting an open mic in Plymouth at 9pm Wednesday. I am disappointed. Have fun though! Can't wait to hear the results.

well, we can call this something other than a skirmish.
we have reached critical mass, and he ain't here. c'est la vie!

bummer jim.. the previous post was re: sober, if that isn't clear.

I love to Skirmish...... Wednesday it is unless I have to work. Yeeeeeehaaaaaw Starfinger for bringing up Sober's excellent idea again. Sure does put the writing chops to the test. I hope Puce enters.

Jim of Seattle · Post by **Jim of Seattle** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 1:19 pm

I am saying right this minute that if I'm in, which I may or may not be (schedule unknown is this juncture). That my entry WILL BE AN INSTRMUNETAL. So if you want to disqualify me ahead of time I can take that into account when I decide if I want to submit. Or not just disqualify, if you just want to give me crap for it.

Hey, if that was offensive pass interference yesterday, then I can submit a goddman instrumental.

submit what you want, as long as you made it in the one-hour time period!
i have confirmation, i'll be in, as long as the title doesn't suck

by the way, who will volunteer to be the title-master?
has to be somebody who isn't entering.

I would offer to serve as titlemaster, but that would also require being around at the start time, wouldn't it? Boo! I hate missing this.

tonetripper · Post by **tonetripper** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 2:08 pm

I vote for Starfinger to come up with the titles unless Sober gets his ass over to this thread and makes it his deal. Considering it's his crazy idea of creating a song with a title in an hour I think he should be allowed to hold the idea of titlemaster.

if my calculations are correct, brisbane is 15 hours ahead of US eastern time, so it should be something like half-past noon for you.

starfinger · Post by **starfinger** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 4:45 pm

i will solicit a title generator

Don't forget to beg for a few random constraints to go with the title. That seems to be the tradition, anyway, though I couldn't say why.

i can be in this but probably an instrumental or tts.

Sober or somebody was worried that people might cheat. Adding the constraints was meant to be a way to keep people honest. I'd hope we didn't really need it, but... who knows.

So that's 4.30pm GMT... If I'm not working I wanna play too!

j$ · Post by j$ » Mon Feb 06, 2006 8:48 pm

No, it's 1.30am GMT ...

1:30 am... at least you will probably be home.

Its the middle of the day for us, and although my work is easy going, I think turning up with my bass and suddenly belting out lyrics in the middle of the day will be somewhat conspicuous.

j$ · Post by j$ » Tue Feb 07, 2006 5:00 am

ummm, 5 hours ahead we are, 6 from CST. Which 2.30 by my maths makes it indeed. Yoda I speak like this morning...
