Careful what you wish for...I may still risk unemployment, show up Sunday night, and blow the whole deal.
I did it for the 3rd Guthrie show...2 hours before show time, got off the couch, said "f*** it", left a message at work about diarrea or something, and drove to the Guthrie.

The checkered flag flaps and we have some winners!
By any measure, Harry takes the prize. With just two picks (he didn't do three nights' worth) he got two on the money and three damn close.
I worked out a scoring system in my spare time. Ignoring exactly which night you said what would be played, you got 10 points for a correct call. Three points if the song ended the main set but not the show, 2 points if you were just off by one song, and one point if you were just off by two songs.
Results: Harry: 28 Scooter: 1 Troubl: 10 Spottrax: 17 (lived up to name, spotting Final Hurrah at all!) Wolfdog: 2-1/2 (for calling A. Chilton, one song off end of set)

"close" only counts in horsehoes! Don't forget "hand grenades"

Don't forget "hand grenades" Or "elections" If it's reasonably close, you can trot out "Plan B"
