Call for BFT presenters

[jeffcrom]

We have four months open for blindfold test presenters in 2012, and two of them are coming up fairly soon. We need presenters for May, June, October and December. Ideally, there should be twelve months between BFT presentations by the same person - I hope that the pool of presenters is not getting so small that we have to abandon that policy.

If you've never presented a blindfold test, or if it's been awhile, this is your chance to get a slot without too long a wait. If you have questions about how to do a BFT, read the blindfold test FAQ and/or send me a PM.

To request a slot, post here or in the signup thread and send me a PM. I'd love to see some "fresh blood" in the blindfold tests.

You've got it, unless you'd rather have January.

[mikeweil]

I prefer February, since my birthday is on the 21st ...

[jeffcrom]

Okay, folks, time for some volunteers eager to present a Blindfold Test. Except for February (Hardbopjazz), the first half of 2014 is wide open. Remember that it needs to have been twelve months since your last BFT, but with that in mind, take your pick of months. "Priority seating" will be given to those who haven't previously presented a Blindfold Test.

The current master list is Newbies should check out the I suggest you participate as a listener a few times before you present a BFT.

Make your requests here or the BFT signup thread - I'll be checking both.

[Stefan Wood]

I can do it again, it has been over a year. Whichever month works for me.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I did one in April, Jeff, so you could put me down for one after that. I've got half the tracks picked.

MG

[Spontooneous]

Kindly put me in there somewhere.

[Dan Gould]

Just got a great idea for a themed BFT so I think I'm in for one more. Anytime February 2014 and later is good for me. Thanks.

[jeffcrom]

Okay, thanks for volunteering. The master list has been updated, and we are now covered through the first half of 2014. The rest of this year and the first half of next year look like this:

#116 - Hot Ptah - November, 2013

#117 - mikeweil - December, 2013

#118 - Spontooneous - January, 2014

#121 - Dan Gould - April, 2014

#122 - The Magnificent Goldberg - May, 2014

I can do next January

[Tom in RI]

Can you put me down for July?

[jeffcrom]

I've been a little slack about staying on top of the BFT lately, but luckily it's been more or less running itself. I just updated the

Tom in RI, I did you one better and gave you June, moving myself back to July. If that doesn't suit you, I'll put you down for July and move myself (or someone else) back to June.

Hardbopjazz, you're not eligible to do another BFT until next February (the twelve month rule), so I put you down for that.

[Tom in RI]

June it is. Thanks.
