Last few for the first round, and onto the second...

Hey all,

First of all, great work. I loved reading every one of your choices. They made me laugh, they made me cry. So now, Sarah, Jeff, and Kevin are going to finish the first round (since there are only 13 of us and not 16), and the rest of us will get started on the next. I'm toying with the idea of always letting the first three people to get their picks in for each round get to choose the last three--this would encourage speediness since the fastest people would get to choose slightly more often. Just an idea for now.

Anyway, below you'll find some more great match-ups. Sarah and Kevin both hold the power to take out my favorite albums; Andy can choose his favorite if he wants--but at the cost of taking out Guns n' Roses; Karl and Bruce both get good match-ups where their competing choices are of somewhat similar styles; Brian got some stuff this time I think he likes; Eric has perhaps one of the more disparate matches; and Jane can have her revenge upon Jeff if she so chooses.

  5. I'd like to mention I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts also, even if I didn't comment.

    p.s. Cuz sometimes you don't have anything to say other than you liked it. Almost as if you wish there were a "Like" button.

  6. I meant that to mean sorry I messed up, you're on Blue Line--not I'm sorry you're on Blue Line. Hopefully, the comma made that clear, but perhaps I should have used stronger punctuation.
