    Oh, and I am serious. I would rather have a crappy M&G instead of that returning.

But in the same pavilion as Figment, it just doesn't seem to make sense.

    I'd love to see it back at DLP though!!!

    I wouldn't call Michael a shinning example either.

    Maybe something on the style of Kitchen Kabaret/Food Rocks. (Not necessarily a musical.) Perhaps hosted by Dreamfinder and Figment?
