Let's see can we root out some Vision from this thread if we gather all interested audiences here to eat Popcorn.

Joe Bobs hasn't logged on since my last telegram confirming the results of our negotiations two days ago... I've asked Wop if he can post the announcement that Joe Bobs was drafting, but I'm not sure if Wop was in the loop or not.

Update: Joe Bobs has logged in, but hasn't responded to my last telegram or posted the announcement he spoke of. Wop hasn't logged in since I sent him that telegram two days ago.

This is starting to get frustrating.

So I have an idea for a parody song that can be entered, but I have no talent with anything. If anyone would like to do it, go for it. The idea is "Juicy Bob Can't" a parody of "Juicy J Can't" and the chorus would go something like "You say no to raids, Juicy Bob can't". I could definitely invest more time in writing more lyrics, but as I said before, I have no way of making this myself. Screw it, let me take a whack at some lyrics right now:

"Tags overflowing like New Orleans' broken levies
no relationship with natives, I just want that taggy
I'm bout my records, I gets my graffiti
Real griefer, TBR, bitch I still rep it
Smokin' WFEs from the [erm... need something to rhyme with sprung]
and the raid got my sprung"

Yeah, that's all I could get in about 10min. Someone take this over for me :p

Musical talent is overrated. I wrecked the backup vocals to Tee's singing, and it's glorious all the same.

Well I'd need someone who even knows how to record audio and make a video haha. That's why I'd rather just throw the idea out there and let TBR take it over from there.

I guess so. We were far more concerned with having a good time and much less with the quality of production, but I can see your point.

On behalf of the FRAvision organising committee I would like to apologise to The Black Hawks for the confusion surrounding FRAvision this year. There was a miscommunication with information passed on previously, which I am happy to say has now been resolved.

FRAvision will be hosted on a specialist forum hosted and administered by The Black Hawks at: http://w11.zetaboards.com/FRAvision_2014/index/

Due to the delays resulting in confusion, submission dates have been extended. I will now hand over to this year's hosts to confirm the changes in dates in regards to submissions, judging and the award ceremony.

I would like to apologise personally for my delay in getting an update out to everyone, I've had a hectic week in real life so have only been briefly checking in to NS this last week, my apologies to all concerned.

Aaaaand submitted.

There are probably going to plenty more backup vocalists than myself with an entry, but I'd bet that none of them had half as much fun as we did recording our video. I've fallen in love with FRAVision and am already looking forward to recording next year.

I think the deadline was pushed back a little because of the slow start, but I don't know the details.

As for our submission, we might win the "D'aww, that's cute!" award, but Tim definitely wins the "Talent and Production Quality" category. ;)

I'm glad the deadline is being extended, I see a lot of regions talking about entries and hope to see more submitted soon!

Remember people, you can enter your own entries that aren't on behalf of a region, just as a personal entry (but state so on your submission).


The GRA will be submitting one soon!

I've recorded the GRA's entry! My voice is terrible but it's supposed to be a funny entry. Just waiting for the region's approval and then I'll submit it!
