Last chance to get in on the June CD swap! Signups close June 1. Groups will be announced shortly afterwards, and the tentative mailing deadline is Friday, June 17.

Does that sound OK with everyone? I know it wasn't the most popular timeframe, but the results were split and finding a good compromise time for everyone has been difficult. Again, signups are still open, so if you want in, get in now. All the information on this round as well as how to sign up can be found here at the previous thread.

  • Shoulda just done two.
  • I would have, but late May was finals season for me unfortunately. Plus, that would've required finding out which swap each person was able to do. I figured this way would have been easier... I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience to some.
  • Thanks for organizing this, muffpub. I owe you some kind of treat when you're out in LA.
  • Thanks for getting this ready! I am now a bit panicked over getting it done for the 17th, but maybe that can be slightly flexible (i.e. mailing it the Monday after would be fine, right? Because if I have that weekend, it's all good).
  • livii: I just picked a Friday because that's what Shotsy always did. As for the Monday thing, I certainly can't say I've not sent CDs late before, and in both previous swaps I've participated in half my group has sent it the Monday after the Friday deadline, so probably no worries. It's in everyone's best interest that you let your group know that before you do, though.
  • Now that I think about it, a Monday deadline makes wayyy more sense.
  • OK, so here's the current list: apis mellifera dayfat deconstructo DirtyApe Dr. Robotnik es el Queso fatoudust Fes* fish tick i_am_138 immlass jb js kittenhead Kodakjello livii magpie mandyman Mfpb 2 21 Mickey MsVader panoptican patita Peachy PF pman78 sardonista schadenfreude shotsy* Smo stepself sugarmilktea* The Mox tracicle waraw * Fes, shotsy, and sugarmilktea have all requested to join this round, but have yet to send me details... If your name isn't on that list but you have already contacted me, please let me know by way of cattle prod.
  • Poink! Poink! Couldn't find one for cattle, will this one do
  • I'm in! (late as ever)
  • *raises hand*
  • My bad Mfpb 2 21, I didn't realize I needed to send my info to you (for some reason I thought I was good-to-go that since I participated in the previous swap). I'll send you an email...
  • *details sent to your gmail account*
  • s'ok... and thanks.
  • Sounds good to me!
  • bump.
  • bump again.
  • bumpalicious
  • Looks like those bumps worked... we had signups up until the deadline! Anyway, the current list has 42 people which is perfect for seven even groups. apis mellifera bizzytater dayfat deconstructo dirtdirt DirtyApe Dr. Robotnik es el Queso eschewed Fes fish tick i_am_138 immlass jb js kittenhead Kodakjello livii Mackerel magpie mandyman mare Melinika Mfpb 2 21 Mickey Mickster MsVader panoptican patita Peachy PF pman78 sardonista schadenfreude shotsy Smo stepself sugarmilktea The Mox tracicle waraw zimf Keep your eyes on your inboxes for the next day day or so...
  • Groups have been organized and info emailed to everyone. The boards have more info.
  • wow, the first time I haven't been in a group with MsVader!
  • Wait, I'm sure I sent my info to MFpb 2 21, but I'm not on the list. (pout)
  • klausness, are you sure? my gmail can't find anything from you, although since you didn't list an email address it's harder for me to look. if i did overlook you, i'm really really sorry, but right now i can't find anything.
  • klausness, I'll send you one of my mixes!
  • I've been away from a PC for quite a while, so this is my first chance to say this, excuse its lateness. But MsVader's most recent cd IS THE SHIT! While working the NY State Fair I was ensconced across from this fried dough place continuously repeating bad dance music, bad eighties music, and selections Paul Simon's "Graceland" (don't ask, cuz I don't know either) -- and this disc was the perfect antidote to that. Many bananas your way!
  • Not to rain on your parade waraw, but Group 2 (eschewed, Fes, kittenhead, mandyman, sugarmilktea, and The Mox) WAS, and IS THE SHIT!! We even had guava goodness to boot. *SNIFFFF* Now, how about sending over a copy of MsVader's mix!?
  • This plus this could be something beautiful. I'll post mine if you post yours (or Ms Vader's because frankly, she still owes me one from a previous exchange, so it only seems fair). Please?
  • *looks very, very guilty* I owe my group from the last swap a CD still, and now that I have extracted an M&M packet from my PC's CD drive I can actually burn them. Only...three months late!
  • That'll teach me to specifically ask to be on your group, tracicle! Of course I'm joking. Really.
  • Oh, and sure, I'll post MsVader's list as soon as I get my car back from the shop, where the cd currently resides and my own list as well as soon as I get back to my own PC, which is far from me at the moment, give me a couple weeks.
  • Pfft, Waraw, my mixes are generally unexciting anyway. I'm thinking I'll do another kiwi-flavoured mix this time.
  • Does this mean we're starting a new CD swap, or do we have to wait until tracy sends hers?
  • Oh man, don't wait for me. I can't keep up with life in general at the moment.
