I’d only even consider showing up for the 4th.
Like my sister-in-law mentioned above, that 4th would be absolutely legendary if we actually had a real sound system clash like you see in Jamaica. Picture this: you've got Stage Flags behind one console on one side, and then Matt over at his own setup on the other. We’d run it on that classic principle where everyone drops one track after another until someone finally hits their limit.
That would be a real show, not just some amateurish back-and-forth banter. It would honestly be incredible to be an American there that night.

Oh, right, October 10th, 2001.
And I bet yours won't even have a decent poster to show for it... 😛
Edit: aaargh, Tipfeler, it was 2001, not 2000

Man, I seriously can't believe that was over five years ago already 😲
and honestly, nobody has even come close to topping it since then. You guys watching those old Led Zeppelin clips should be ashamed of yourselves!

and nobody's managed to top it since? Honestly, shame on you dirty grunge fans and Led Zeppelin video nerds!

Nesho and my humble self put that listening room together (I heard he actually got a red card recently, too). We originally wanted to call it 'Under the Western Freeway,' but back when Matt was putting together that booklet for the local public radio station's monthly program, he told me the title was way too long, so 'American Beauty' just popped out in a split second.
On topic: cute, though I’d definitely go with listening room no. 3
And yeah, go ahead, set up the poll—someone’s gotta count the votes later... and you're totally gonna cheat! 😬

I’m actually digging what Robin Williams6 suggested about using two consoles, though I was thinking we might need to set up some kind of makeshift wrestling ring in the mud right on the stage...

Honestly, I’d be happy with just a few minor tweaks to the playstyle between the main players—nothing too crazy, just enough to keep things interesting.

Fair point. 😬
Stale—we definitely need this one. 🙂 Smajlic—with those cowboy hats—is quite the character.

...so tell me where you grabbed that little cowboy emoji from your last post? I don't see him in my emoji keyboard.....
