Congrats to The Cuckoo for his solid 6th place finish in this most recent Pool. And we almost cracked the top 20 team rankings. Stay tuned, the next Pool is just around the corner (and I've got tickets to the Victoria show near the very end of it). |

Thanks, Dr. Commie Rat. This was one of the more difficult pools with so many possibilities from a brand new triple album. For some of the picks I tried to imagine myself in Bob's shoes, selecting songs for a set, considering the pace, instrumentation and challenges within the songs. I'd like to think I got it fairly right, but it was probably nothing more than dumb luck. C'est la vie. Go, Jokermen! |

Two shows to go and I'm hanging on to my 8 point lead thanks to Stay With Me. |

Brett McG had been gaining on me at a rate of two points per show and was on track to tie me on the last night of the tour, BUT, last night Bob ended the set with Stay With Me rather than Love Sick, so instead Brett McG tied me for points last night. Of course anything could still happen, but there is now a chance I could end the tour in the coveted #1 spot alone. Three shows to go. Fingers crossed and all that stuff. |

If it's a tie, does it go to a penalty shootout? |

Oops, nix that. I now predict a tie for first in the individual race. . |

My latest prediction is that I should win the individual race by two points (and I have my fingers crossed). How things change. ;) |

You were 12th but only 5 points from 1st. No need to panic yet. |

Ack. I came in 12th place in Toledo. Are the wheels coming off the bus? |

Hmm. A third place finish in Kettering for me. An anomaly or will things get crazy in the second half of the tour? |

I'm revising my prediction to say that I will (fingers crossed) win the individual part of the pool 24 points ahead of a four-way tie for second. I know, a pretty ballsy statement not even halfway through the tour. Cheers. |

I know things can change in an instant, but I'm feeling pretty good about my chances of finishing first this time around. I seem to be increasing the spread between my score and second place by about two points per show. If that continues I should end up 46 points ahead of second place by the end of the tour. I know, famous last words. ;) |

13th last time - maybe a top 10 finish this time. Go Jokermen! |

Nice work Jokermen! A top 10 spot would have been nice, but I sure won't complain about a 13th place finish. |

Welcome to the Jokermen, Masked and Anonymous. Let's hope this is a great tour and the static set list fades away. |
