Awesome, dude!
EDIT - Oh, in case anyone wants to take a look at GYAWS ("Get Your Ass Writing Songs") Here's the signup page with all of the info:
https://www.facebook.com/gyaws.signup
Currently it's set to only accept 18 years old and up. Let us know here if you have any issues finding or commenting on the page. You do have to be logged into FB to see it, I believe. GYAWS was started by Taxi members and is chock full of Taxi members.

- the Facebook GYAWS group was created and run by Steven Guiles and myself in December 2013. Since then we have added a few admins to help run things. We have written a mission statement. Part of the philosophy of the group now includes a concept of being run for the people, by the people, so that no matter who is in charge, the group can keep going. Paul Shamell is one of the trusted admins currently.
Before GYAWS started, there were a few characters who were commenting on a post made by Ethan Okamura, on Facebook, talking about another type of cutthroat songwriting contest, and after some clever banter on that thread, a spawn offshoot was born of GYAWS. The FAQs
http://bit.ly/1iCXryH are attached to the Facebook signup page. In the FAQs sheet are more details about how that came about.
I meant the three P's Paul, Pedro and Patty posted perfectly in sync
