ASFM Worldvision III: The Forrin Muck Gala - TONIGHT 7pm

[ButterTart]

I amended my original plan to drop this yesterday when I remembered it was my birthday and I was going out.

Instead, I'll be asking you to skip dinner, put on a nice top, and join me by the buffet table for the FORRIN MUCK GALA at 7pm tonight. We have 31 delicacies to sample, with a potential post-meal disco in the form of viewing gala 1. This all depends on whether I've had my tea by that point, so if we can't squeeze it in tonight, the first viewing experience will be tomorrow night.

If you have any allergies or intolerances, please alert a member of the service staff so they can escort you from the premises without an ugly scene. Otherwise, our table's booked for 7.

"That's weird, why do I have access to the Moopy birthday forum?"

 

[ButterTart]

Oh shit, I forgot that was a thing!

Some titillating tidbits about this year's competing nations:

We have 13 debuting countries this year.

Cameroon and France were NOT drawn, which means we're guaranteed a new winner

The demoscopico breakdown is as follows:
- Africa & The Middle East - 5
- The Americas - 5
- Asia & Oceania - 7
- Europe - 14

Two posters entered but didn't submit a song.

Just like the demographic breakdown of the real world

[Nancy]

TEN MINUTES!

Until what?

 

[ButterTart]

Until what?

The forrin muck gala! Tonight we're finding out what countries are taking part (and possibly doing the first viewing gala if I've time).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN 10 MINUTES @ButterTart !!!

 

[Tisch]

Two posters entered but didn't submit a song.

 

[ButterTart]

Hello and welcome to you! I make that 7pm, so I might just dive straight in

 

[ButterTart]

First of all, the menu has been slightly amended because two posters weren't able to serve up a dish in time.

 

[ButterTart]

Those posters (and the countries they were allocated) are...

@Rita - South Africa
@Pingu - Canada

Which means this is the second time in two years that South Africa was picked but never ended up making it to the contest.

 

[ButterTart]

Anyway, I've not had my tea so shall we fill our boots?
