The James Hebbletwaite poems have all been uploaded so could make it by the deadline if someone PLs them.
Enamels by Gautier is also complete but not yet, I think, catalogued :?

30 March - 2 Days to Go!

We are now at 169 items cataloged so far. Wow.

And so hear now the penultimate "Mane apud Toddlibus" message of exhortation.

Veni, Voxi, Maxi Libri!
How close to 200 can we be?
Come on, come on, make one last push:
Record all night 'til the neighbors say Hush!
We really can do it, though we'll all sound hoarse
And sleep most of April (that's okay, of course).

In this last mad dash, make sure to leave time today and tomorrow for our hard-working DPLs and other PL'ers to give a listen. You can't post a completed reading at the 11th hour tomorrow night and expect it to make it to the catalog before the new month starts. And don't underestimate how long Archive.org can take to process something for the catalog once submitted - it can be 2 minutes, 2 hours, or 2 days....

Thanks, Todd

31 March - The Final Day! Less than 18 hours to go!

We are now at 177 items cataloged so far, with several more churning their way through the process at Archive.org.

And so hear ye all now the Ultimate "Mane apud Toddlibus" message of exhortation.

Veni, Voxi, Maxi Libri!
How close to 200 can we be?
Come on, come on, make one last push:
Record all night 'til the neighbors say Hush!
We really can do it, though we'll all sound hoarse

Yeah, I know I should have written a new poem for the occasion rather than reusing yesterday's, but I'm saving my creativity for tomorrow's clean-up wrap-up message. Given all the silly characters I have portrayed in the past few plays, that I'll be posting something important on April Fool's Day seems ever so appropriate. (Hopefully I will not receive the new dreaded critical DPL comment of NSM-SAPA - that is "not so much silly as plain annoying" for my efforts.)

In this last mad dash, do make sure to try and leave time today for our hard-working DPLs and other PL'ers to give a listen. You can't post a completed reading at the 11th hour tonight and expect it to make it to the catalog before the new month starts. And don't underestimate how long Archive.org can take to process something for the catalog once submitted - it can be 2 minutes, 2 hours, or 2 days.... (You'd think they'd recognize the critical importance of our cleanup effort and give all our projects fast pass priority catalog boarding this week!)

Thanks, Todd

looking forward to your wrap-up poem :mrgreen: And can I say you have been an awesome master of ceremony for the clean-up month :thumbs: very motivational for us all, which resulted in our best month ever. :clap:

My inspiration for Master of Ceremonies was this earlier suggestion by Chris, which I highly recommend even though it may take 3 minutes of your ever so precious reading or PL'ing time today:

Cheers,

Picture me that way if you really wish
Herding ye'all off to the food dish.
(Why don't they just go catch their own fish?)
Glad there's no traffic or they'd been squish!

Thanks, Todd
By the way, the CMTO referred to by Sonia above is that highly desirable dramatic performance rating of "Chuckled More Than Once" awarded ever so infrequently by our long suffering DPLs.
