I updated my form submission with a link to an unlisted YouTube video of my set, after struggling with quality a bit. If Glenn can youtube-dl it that would be great, if not, I’ll try to upload it again tomorrow.

I've just finished watching the the first night and it was awesome. Everyone's sets were so good and the hosts did a brilliant job. I'm looking forward to night two.

It was really cool to see Sly Eli covering my rap verses in the Instabandits song, I was not expecting that!
It was the first (and probably the last) time I've ever recorded a rap. It was fun to do but well outside my comfort zone :D.

Just finished watching the whole thing! Great work everyone! I wish I was still young enough to stay awake between 2am and 5am to see it all streamed live, but alas, I am not.

I caught up this morning too. Really good stuff from all involved!

I don't think I've ever been young enough to stay awake between 2 and 5am but I like watching the chat replay, it's ALMOST like being there.

For fun I'm trying to think of a schedule that could work for Australia, America, and the UK. That's a range of UTC-7 to UTC+10 I think? Maybe four hours earlier than what we've been doing could work? That would be 2pm Pacific US, 5pm Eastern US, 10pm UK, 7am Eastern Australia (I'm assuming that's where our Aussie compatriots are). That would require some day/morning fdrink for some of us but we could probably make that sacrifice.

Even two hours earlier would do me. Midnight to 2am is perfect party hours.

I’m playing a show at the exact time of night 2 so it it’s moved earlier at all I have a better chance of making it to more of the event!

I was just brainstorming for fun. It's too late at this point to move the times of the shows for 2021. But it's something we could definitely think about for future livestreams.

Clearly, everything revolves around Eastern time, U.S. C'mon peoples. :D

Will check out some material tonight, glad it's going well and all appear to be satisfied.

Hey, it's not just eastern time in the US, our hoards of Peruvian songfighters benefit from the timing too.

I submitted a short (less than 2min) video earlier this morning, the process went very smoothly for me. I apologize for getting it in so late past deadline, I hope you can still squeeze it in somewhere.

What a great show it was! Thanks to everyone who put so much time and effort into co-ordinating these nights, and to all you amazing artists - so much great work to share!

It was great to say hello (albeit briefly) after the show too - sorry I had to rush off, but I was needed for a science experiment.

Hugs!

So. I had this awesome idea that me and Sausage Boy would do a cool live fight duo because we are both big TISM fans and they wear masks and the mask title, and Sausage Boy was in on it and…..oh look - there’s a dog with a fluffy tail…

Just finished watching, that was really great again! Loved the Glenn & Rachael set to finish it off. Glad I could make a little cameo, too :D

Excellent work everyone. Looking forward to (catching up on) the live fight (several hours later due to sleeping).

Good show everyone! I think someone had asked where I got the visuals for our set but the chat wouldn't show the link, so here it is: pexels dot com

A lot of cool free visuals can be found there!

I was particularly interested in that spiky-backed girl. Looked like something from The Cremaster Cycle or something.

I loved TISM so much. They were schoolteachers who wore masks so their students wouldn’t figure out who they were, right?

Every so often Toshiro just randomly comes out with GREG! THE STOPSIGN!
