Yes, you have hear right. SMG Idol is making it's return for a brand new season of guild karaoke fun. This event will be held on vent. Our first go around will be Saturday, Jan 31 at 2pm. The official event will run for 2 hours.

Participants will perform a song or songs of their choice, and at the end of the 2 hours or we run out of material (which ever comes first) we will set up voting for the following categories.

1) Best Male performance
2) Best Female performance
3) Best Duet (if we have any brave enough to try, latency issues and all *grin*)
4) Best Country Song
5) Best Rock Song
6) Best "Other" song
7) Best overall performance

What I need from the guild at large.

1) Donations of prizes if you have something fun and special you can contribute to the pot.
2) Performers - Sign up on the website calendar for much fun and excitement!

If we make this a huge success there will be more karaoke fun in the future!

Bump!

And this just in!!! Orthem is an official sponsor of SMG idol donating some very nice blacksmithing items to each winner of the contest. Sign up today!

Awsome Orthem!!

Hypsy has also donated an amazing epic cloak for the event.

Let's sign up.

On a side note - original date is correct (1-31-09) but day has been fixed since it was pointed out to me that the 31st is Sat, not Sun. I blame the lack of brain on my thesis.

Rescheduled!

Apparently - 2 alarms were not enough to wake me up. I apologize to people for being late. Hopefully, the new time and date will be more fitting to other people's schedules since only one other person signed up.

To make the pot sweeter! There will be a participation prize for everyone who sings - please sign up so I know how many I need to get.

New time and date:

Sat - Feb 7th at 4pm.

Please sign up on the calendar -

Prizes and categories will remain the same.
