Now that this has shifted into exclusivity and outside MLR it feels a little empty..
Just saying..
I never really felt it was part of MLR to begin with, other than the official threads and events being hosted here.
To clarify what I mean, Balloon Party was comprised of like 75% of musicians that do not even post on MLR. R&R was around 50%.
A good chunk of the organizers in the past events were part of the previous mlr staff i think, it is a shame that won't be the case this time. We were working at organizing this after circuitfry put it down initially but he has every right to organize it a third time. There was a lot of behind the scenes wrangling to see what could be done, but we just couldn't see eye to eye, and cfry's theme of this event changed several times. Even rehosting the previous Balloon Party uploads became a battle in miscommunication and frustration. In the end though, the MLR mods are rather unified that they'll simply sit this event out. Circuitfry is welcome to answer questions in the thread here but more likely through his tumblr.
MLR will still do Remix Wars in the summer (likely Stars will organize it again) and Kyoga will do Soft Spectrum as well.
