I'm going to go ahead and stick with the original plan for this: one title per participant. If this goes over well, I'll try another one sometime in the indeterminate future with multiple titles and see if that works better.

Bear in mind that if you submit a title, you will be expected to a record a song for someone else's title. Is your setup working again, Chris?

I'm not sure if the Chris here is in reference to me. If so, yes I am up and running again. :D

I should be back up by next weekend. So if you're talking about having titles in by St Patrick's day, which is March 17th I believe, I should be good. Plus I can start working on it acoustically.

Bump.

If you want in, you've got one week to get me your title. I will be distributing titles on March 18th, so if you don't have yours in, you'll miss out! :)

Yesterday, I was going to send reminder PMs to the people who'd expressed interest, but personal crap got in the way. I'm going to extend the deadline to 5:00pm (CST) tomorrow evening. Last chance, folks!

The titles went out a couple of hours ago. There are 14 participants, including myself. I don't want to spoil anything else, but let the record state that no one actually submitted "Circle of Titties." (Thank you.)

The due date will be Sunday, April 4th.

Any questions? Need hosting? Feel free to ask here, or PM me.

The title assignment was done by number matching with random.org, so it was completely randomized, but by chance I think almost everyone wound up with a title that suits them pretty well. I wound up with one of the more esoteric ones, myself, but I don't mind. There's only one person who got... shall we say... shafted, and I think that person knows who they are.

It wasn't me, that's for sure. I *love* the title I got, was immediately inspired, and wrote and recorded my song already. I just have to record the vocals and it's done. FWIW, it's one of the best songs I've ever written.

I know it wasn't me either. The second I saw my title, my brain fully locked in on what needs to be spewed. Spew there will be. :wink:

My title needed a little bit of research. Hopefully I have a grasp on it now. I'll record the demo today.
