I’d be gobsmacked if it didn’t. Grading for a grab bag is going to be all over the place.

Providing I am not person 1 or 7 this is a good plan.

I hereby reserve the right to give one word/one sentence snarky reveals.

I’m going to fire up a signup thread soon unless someone else wants to take a turn hosting.

I have neither the bandwidth nor the self-esteem to judge a walrus, but I hereby release the following category ideas into the public domain, which will hopefully encourage and inspire future walruses.

  1. A local/regional band that never achieved the worldwide superstardom they deserved
  2. A band whose name takes the form “[Proper Name] and the [Plural Noun]”
  3. A song from 1981
  4. A song whose title includes a geographical location
  5. A song that gets it done in 2:30 or less
  6. A band you like but don’t like to admit you like
  7. A song that tells a story
  8. A song whose lyrics are personally meaningful
  9. An instrumental (from a band that normally includes a singer)
  10. “That doesn’t sound anything like [artist]. I never would have guessed it was [him/her/them].”

We could just do another grab bag.

Reveals aren’t that arduous when you’re only responsible for one category.

The reveals aren’t, but organizing an entire grab bag is ;-)

That said, I really did enjoy the grab bag last time. I could organize another one, with two conditions:

  1. I will need a co-organiser. The duties will be split as follows:

Person 1: In charge of the thread co-ordination. Explaining the rules, helping get reveals lined up, setting dates, helping define good categories. Receive entries for Person2 and anonymize/send to them.

Person 2: Receive entries for all rounds (except their own) and anonymize/send. Keep score. Help Person 1 with other tasks if they are so inclined.

  1. The GOAT, Sir @pyatnitski, has to play.

So, if anyone can help, let me know and pick your poison! Alternately if anyone wants to run the entire thing themselves, have at it.

I’d love to play, obviously, but I’m on holiday or traveling for the next month or so and just won’t really have the time. At least till the last week of August, sorry.
