[samiksha]

[bballarl]

I am going to participate this time. Although my festival will be immediately obvious. And I will overthink it and not be able to finish. And I can't make a poster because I only use MS Paint. Hmm.

[Courtney]

Haha sad clown.

[matsuolost]

i hope i win this time around

[PassiveTheory]

Sweet. Erik check your PM box.

[menikmati]

Passive is gonna assist me this time around....if anyone else wants to (I would like at least one other actually) help, just lemme know.

If you do help, you can still enter the contest yourself, so don't worry (of course you don't have to enter either).

[Boourns]

I'll help.

[TomAz]

Radiohead, XTC, and Nirvana are headlining.

[menikmati]

people who are interested should sign up for the email newsletter thingy....its somewhere within that link i posted...

[Amneeziac]

Interesting.

[menikmati]

If you're new to this or just wondering what's going on, this is a contest where you create your own festival and go up against others who have done the same, until there is only one left standing, which then is crowned the winner and be given prizes. It's been done twice in the past (once by Gabe, then back in April/May of this year by me). It's gonna be bigger and better this time around, but that means a lot more rule changes and other things that will make this contest a bit more unique and challenging...but again, it isn't "create a lineup", it's "create a festival", get it?

Anyway, to all those interested, just join that email newsletter thing...you'll get info faster that way and before it gets posted on the board, and maybe an extra goodie here and there. More info will be given out in early November.

Also if you wanna help out (with checking and double checking), and are good with math, and maybe wanna help out in other ways too (ideas, logos, whatever), just lemme know.

[Cpt. Funkaho]

If "extra goodies" translates to "unreleased tracks by Ransom 1", I'm signing up for the email list twice.

[i_like_cake530]

Damn, Menik went all out this time around...it looks very professional.

[Bosco]

[PassiveTheory]

Aww, why Bosco? I'm helping this time around, so you wont get screwed over...

[menikmati]

Hey, if anyone out there reads this (whether you're interested in the contest or not) and you're REALLY GOOD with Microsoft Excel and know lots of tricks with it, can you PM me please? I could really use your help.

[Bosco]

Aww, why Bosco? I'm helping this time around, so you wont get screwed over...

[PassiveTheory]

*cough* Paul you um... might wanna edit that and remove the list, since part of the contest is to not let other contestants know about your possible festival list...

Or maybe its a brilliant tactical move?

[PassiveTheory]

I guess, but I remember Erik being strict about that sort of thing in the last contest.

[Wheres the beef?]

I'm torn between creating a lineup I want to see vs a lineup I think would win.

[paulb]

sorry, I didnt know there were rules...i dont plan on participating, i just want to put my wish list out there...

[PassiveTheory]

I'm torn between creating a lineup I want to see vs a lineup I think would win.

Hah, I went with the former last year... My poster got raped by Bosco's...

[cbrl23]

I can help someone with the design of the poster, don't think I can come up with a good line up, but I am a decent designer.
