Nothin' but a song.
Hi, everyone! Ang here. You might've noticed over the course of today that several residents spent their day randomly bursting into song! This was an attempt at the return of an old Paradisa April Fools' Tradition. Sure, it's true that previous years had a lot more numbers ... but this one's still going.
If it's not quite midnight in your timezone yet, never fear. You've still got a few hours to get those lyrics up and out! In the spirit of the day and the tradition, though, please keep backdating to a minimum. The castle giveth musical inclination, and the castle taketh away.
There was no Big Finish this year for a number of reasons: time constraints, coordination, and as my guru Yuff so eloquently put it, "because last year's Big Song wasn't even in English". We still had someone do it, though (go Val)! I spread everything through word of mouth, like the first couple of years had been, and all things considered, it seems to have done pretty well. As of right now, midnight EST, we have 24 song posts!
For those of you who remember previous years, an album IS being put together! Mei has volunteered to be my helper with that end of the project. If you posted a song and are feeling gracious enough to share it with her, her contact info can be found on Pixy Foulke's journal over here.
If you're just looking for a list of the day's entertainment, just click on the cut. I'm headed off to bed, but I'll polish the list off with any stragglers that might show up tomorrow!
