2026 BFT Sign-up

[tkeith]

These threads tend to get long relatively quickly, but it's unclear how long I have to edit the original post.  Sometimes I can fill them in, sometimes I can't.  So, if you claim, I'll confirm, but I'm going to hold off from making an actual "calendar" post until we have a few confirmations, at least.

I know Dan wants January, so we'll start there -- January is Danuary.  Please request your month in this thread (rather than staking an outright claim).  I'll do my  level best to make sure everybody gets one of their top two choices, but the early bird gets the worm.

Well I am sure Felser will ask for December but there's no way to artfully combine name and month so ...

Affirmative.  Dan's solid "real jazz" January BFT's are the antidote to the weirdness extreme creativity Jim brings to November BFT's and the ever-controversial tangents I bring to December BFT's.

[medjuck]

I'm up for February if available. 

[tkeith]

Confirming Danuary, medjuck for February, and Felsember (THERE we go!).  Not confirming Jim until he says so.

I'm a palate cleanser like liquid drano.

I'm going to hold off for a little bit in case some new people want in.

Pick one out for me.

In that case, I'm going to fly you standby along with me for a bit to see what shakes out.  You WILL have a 2026 BFT, that much I will guarantee.  And thanks for bailing me out this year.

 

[Ken Dryden]

I would love to move earlier to April or May, if available.

I usually have May, but I don’t plan to do one next year, so you can have it.

[tkeith]

Ken, given the exchange above, I'm putting you down for May.  

 

[Joe]

If slots are still available, I'mm happy to assemble another BFT in 2026. Thanks!

[tkeith]

Only January, February, May and December are claimed, at the moment -- pick your month from what remains, and I'll carve it in stone.

 

[Joe]

Thanks Thom! I can do January!

[tkeith]

Mmm, nope, you can't.  January, February, May and December are taken.  All else is open.

[Joe]

I misread, sorry. Put me down for March, please.

[tkeith]

No worries.  You've got March.

 

So, we still need presenters for*:

April, June, July, August, September, October, November.


(* Randy Hersom gets one of those, as do I, so really, there are five of those seven available.)

[medjuck]

I've just learned of some family medical issues that will make it impossible for me to do February.  Sorry to leave everyone in the lurch.  I hope someone else is able to pick it up. 

[tkeith]

We'll make it so.  Thanks for being proactive.  I'll try to keep something open later in the schedule.

Ask me to edit the first post with the complete list, pm it to me. As a moderator I can do this.

[tkeith]

Noted.  When it's more complete I will do so.  Out of curiosity, what is the timeline for one to edit their own post?

One hour, in my experience.
