Count me in, so long as this won't go past the 2nd week or so of August. (I'll be visiting my Grandma and she doesn't have a computer.) I'll try to post more often in this game, since I'll be done with a summer class I'm taking on the 28th, which should free up my time some more.
I think I'll be the village musician. I sing and play the violin and pennywhistle and a bit of the mandolin, so the role seems to fit me.
When you said that DAY and NIGHT periods end at 7:30 Central, I assume you mean pm? 7:30 in the morning would be a wee bit early, especially for summer
