The Rules
The Theme Challenge will consist of a 45 minute to 120 minute mix, left to your own interpretation of the suggested theme, which will be posted after sign-ups are over. There are no prizes. All entries should be uploaded to your favorite file hosting site and posted after the sign-up date and before the due date. All participants should make an effort to listen to and review each mix that has been posted.
IF YOU SIGN UP AND DO NOT DO YOUR MIX, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN FUTURE COMPETITIONS!!!
Sign-ups will last a little over a month, starting today and lasting through JULY 22nd, @ 12 AM GMT. Simply enter your name and the theme you suggest. I will choose a theme at the end of the sign-up period and the mixing will begin. This challenge ends September 30th @ 12 AM GMT OCTOBER 23rd @ 12 AM GMT.
You may choose to drop out before the sign-up dates end, but once the challenge begins you cannot drop out.

Certainly a great idea and the clear front runner while more people sign up. Looking forward to seeing what other ideas challenge this one.
Been waiting for another one of these... I'll definitely be in. Don't really have any idea for a theme but I'd be cool with the Sunday Morning route.
I'll be in as a listener.
Doesn't seem like there'll be much to listen to.
We still have 3 weeks of signups. I know Dave King wanted in, perhaps he hasn't seen the thread yet.
This place has been quiet for the last few years anyway. Facebook killed forums.
I'll have time for this sort of thing in nov/dec/jan/feb.
That's too damned bad.
I've never posted a mix on TA before, but fuck it... Put me down I like the theme.
*goes digging*
Yes im in, I too like the proposed them 
Count me in.
I'm in, theme sounds good.
You've still got a couple more days to enter.
Don't be afraid, it's all in the name of fun.
I'll do a mix, seeing as I actually have some decent gear now. Been slacking with my practicing. I have some ideas of what to play for this theme as well.
i kind of want to make a mix with this theme but I'm not officially throwing my name in the hat

We have a nice strong 2 months to consider a mix in the theme of SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The challenge ends September 30th @ 12AM GMT.
Everyone in that list has the capability of producing a mix by that date. Good luck, everyone! Looking forward to listening!
I'm not trying to rock the boat, but is there any reason for a rigorous sign-up process, or closing off the competition? If planetaryplayer feels like he can get a good mix together next month and sticks to the theme, why not let him join in?
The post has been up for a month now with clear start times and end times. I wouldn't call the signup process "rigorous" either, as it is as simple as saying you will do the mix.
The idea behind keeping a solid timeframe with a set list of participants is to prevent DJ LazyMan from submitting a mix 2 months after everyone has already completed the challenge. That's why it's called a challenge, to produce the mix in the time allotted. Sure I could remove all the rules and let anyone participate, late or never at all, but we already did that in previous challenges and were left with half the people not submitting a mix. I'm making the rules more strict to enforce a higher completion rate.
That said, if planetaryplayer wants to participate, he can. He indeed posted his intentions before sign ups closed. Just PM me or announce it here and I'll add his name to the list.
Seeing that I suggested the theme, I suppose it's appropriate if I kick things off as well:
So you've been out partying on a Saturday and the night went on a bit long. You wake up the next day waaaay past noon. The sun is shining and the weather is beautiful, but understandably you're not feeling a hundred percent.
You take a painkiller and a tall glass of ice cold water, get comfortable on your sofa, put on your headphones and press play. After a while you can feel the headache recede and your energy levels start to rise.
