Festive ‘Spill, 2012 – Update

chill-'spill-best-of-2012

Just a quick update:

Things seem to be going smoothly, over 40 tunes received so far. Only one artist has more than one tune & only one vote was already taken. Think my admin is up to date, so if you’ve sent something but haven’t heard from me please shout out.

Broadcast:

Haven’t had any preferences from you – would this work?:

#3′s Monday, Dec 17
#2′s Wednesday, Dec 19
#1′s Friday, Dec 21

I’ll have the elves schedule the posts for 8:00 PM, UK Time. If things go pear-shaped, won’t be around to fix anything until the following morning.

If that is all agreeable, it would make sense to set a deadline for votes for Friday, Dec 14. Plenty of room for more nominations – in the past we usually ended up with around 80 tunes or so. If we don’t get as many this year – so be it, we’ll go with what we have. I will send an e-mail to everyone who took part last year who hasn’t been heard from yet this year. Will also post a reminder on RR, am guessing we will have the last topic of the year next week.
