Another crazy challenge

My daughter has discovered another crazy writing challenge to suck me into. This time, it's 50 songs in 90 days, starting July 4th. So I, and many of the filkers in UFO, are taking the challenge.

This sounds pretty challenging, but I will be interested to hear what comes out of it. You have five people writing songs every other day and you meet once every two weeks which means 35 new songs per housefilk.

You do realize you may have to schedule extra housefilks just to give every song an airing, right?

Thankfully, a collaboration counts as a song for BOTH participants, so if we help one another, we'll only get one song for two people. But yeah, I hadn't done the math. Wow. I'll have to suggest that we have a night when the THEME is "songs written for 50/90."

I'm sure some (a lot?) of the songs won't be ready for Prime Time, so maybe once they're rewritten after the challenge they can be sung at a housefilk?
