If I play I'll be knocked out in the first round, guaranteed. So I'll watch from the sidelines with a keen eye.

Not exactly, but my tastes in U2 go against the norm, so I figured instead of playing I'll just watch for fun like I did with the AIC tourney. If you have trouble getting 16 players I'll join, but only on that condition.

What happened to Wilco? I thought that was next.
this is why we need that thread of "upcoming music tournaments" stickied at the top. and we also need that thread created.

I usually do pretty well but I've yet to win (except for kind of the SP tourney)
I still feel like I was robbed in the pearl jam one
