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.

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.

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.

That's lunchtime Thursday I think - I may just be able to do this!

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.

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!

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.

hm. i could've sworn 930pm EST was 230am GMT. crap. are we in EST or EDT right now? i'm lost.

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