OPEN FLOOR.

Just a quick note to say I have something unavoidable to do right now that will mean posting results and the next round will be a little late, will get both up as soon as I can.

I'll share here since this is one of the few places I actively post here still:

I went to a concert last night. I went to see a feller who has a song that made it to a previous final, a pretty early one if I recall. I went to see Colter Wall. I don't know if any of y'all other than @Captain Spaulding would be too interested in this, but he played a couple of his new ones that he said would be on an album due out sometime in the summer. If you like the direction Colter has taken by going full Cowboy, then judging by the tracks we heard, you aren't going to want to miss it. His opener was Vincent Neil Emerson, who I've only barely given a shot to, but I found a lot of his song sounded too much alike. I enjoyed him tonight but his entire set was new material with more of a rock n roll twist to it than what I remember from his older releases. He seemed genuinely happy to be there, he was charismatic, and I came out liking him a lot more than I did going in.

Overall: great night.

11th is perfectly respectable, I once came 11th in a 5k race with about 400 entrants which I think unequivocably proves it.

In the end I chose not to use your instruction on auto-voting, hopefully that doesn't upset you - tbh I don't think the single point that Suuns would have received via that method would have made any tangible difference in their placement.
