with the negotiations completed and contracts all signed, we're happy to announce the recruitment of a fresh round of guest DJs. we're looking for a few sensitive young men and women to take a turn behind the tables.
if you're interested, please throw your hat in below, or send an email to hungryjoe [this thingy] wgom.org. if you have any months that won't work out, let me know and i'll try to get the schedule to work for you should you be chosen. first priority goes to new DJs. spots left over will be spread among returning DJs (2011 DJs have first priority, then 2012's crop, then 2013's crop*), awarded by random number generator. also, months will be awarded by random number generator.
deadline to apply will be sunday, 19 january 2014, at, oh, let's say 3pm CT
come be the next opportunistic renegade.
* i realize we're starting to hit some ambiguity regarding who exactly has priority. for now, i'm just going to say will figure out something once all the candidates are in as i've yet to look into the specifics.
I'll throw my hat in the ring again realizing I'm low on the priority list. I'd prefer something later on in the year, if possible. July would be bad since I'm going to be in LA for two weeks.
I'll take another turn if it's in the cards for me
I'll do it.
I'll sign up for a chance.
I'll play.
It's been a couple years; can I get the dog days of August again?
Sorry.

Was there an agreement I'd get a spot this year since I was the odd man out last year?
there wasn't an agreement, but unless we get 11 first time DJs, you should be in the clear.
I was out last year, too, and I'm odder...
Last time I did this I killed the old site. But what the hell, let's try it again.
death metal? requiems?
A full Tim Hecker set.
...which would be awesome.

I suppose I could go again, although I need to come up with another interesting gimmick.
a suggestion, cheaps:

I am going to listen to both of those when I get back to the hotel and will love them.
drunk already?
Probably wise to hit the hotel bar first. Good call.
Polka--you're doing it right!
I've had my turns, but I'd go too, if you need a pinch-hitter.
I'm in. I think I had 2013 off, so maybe I make the cut?
October-November-December are my worst.
I would do it if summoned.
Put me down too, of course. I think I sat out 2013.
If you need more, I'd be happy to give it another go.
Yes, please.
I think maybe perhaps I'd like to throw my hat into the ring.
Now, question, do we need to know how to do the post? And do I have posting privleges? Never done this before.
Thanks
Pun
once the DJs are announced, we'll send out an information packet.
Guest DJs cover our democracy with blood. I'll do it.
RESULTS
Okay, so we have 6 levels of eligibility this year. The plan is to let in as many as possible, and then we'll have a run off when we have more applicants than spots. So, here we go:
Pod 1 (New DJs)
punmanbowler
GreekHouse
Pod 2
Beau
Daneeka's Ghost
Pod 3
New Britain Bo
nibbish
spookymilk
The Dread Pirate
Pod 4
AMR
DK
Rhubarb_Runner
And that's our 11. No need for run-offs.
Next, the schedule. This year's DJs were arranged in alphabetical order, and then a random sequence of numbers 2-12 signifying months were run and applied to the alphabetically arranged list. Only 2 schedule requests, so random sequences were run until both of those were met (it only took about 3 tries):
So, without further ado, your 2014 Guest DJs:
punmanbowler - February 17-23
The Dread Pirate - March 17-23
New Britain Bo - April 14-20
Daneeka's Ghost - May 12-18
Beau - June 16-23
nibbish - July 14-20
Rhubarb_Runner - August 18-24
AMR - September 15-21
spookymilk - October 13-19
GreekHouse - November 10-16
DK - December 15-21
Thanks for turning out, everyone. Any questions, let me know.
Can somebody remind me when it's my turn? I will have forgotten by then, for sure.
I usually remember. Most of the time.
