Thanks AwaitingAndrew and BabyBlueSedan, just tallied both your lists All good. Major love for Elf up there.


Worked on a bit of prep to make sure the list will be posted faster this time around too. No need to worry on that front. Won't be lightning speed by any means, but probably a quarter the time.

I have Mean Girls and The Best of Youth in the queue. Promise to get around to both before the deadline.


Hoping to see a few more lists this week

EDIT: There's also a pretty tight race for the person with the most performances on the list... two in particular have a really high tied number.
