I can't just drop a CD in my mail box with an address on the CD can I?

(Thanks Pookie for offering to take my mix CD and put it on a tape, but I think I might do that next time, I am way to busy lately)

Join us, Kegmama, join us!

The close date for posting your tape to Pookie is 31 August, but PM him to let him know that you're taking part and to get full details.

I hope I get your tape!

You've got until August 31st to do it. You just need to let me know when it's been sent and anybody who has told me, or who's tape I've received, will be included. See the first post in this thread of details of what to include.

Literally just a CD? With the address written in permanent marker on the CD and no packaging? I wouldn't. I'd rate the chances of it arriving at 50% and the chances of it arriving AND being usable at 20%.

You're up early for a Saturday. I'm working, that's my excuse, are you doing something exciting today?

I was kidding. (to Sonicl)

No, I'm afraid I just always wake very early. I've been using the time to catalogue my music collection before I pack it up to go into storage for a while.

I am doing something nice later, I'm meeting friends for lunch in Marlow.

thanks spookie!

I suppose the listening to them in order was a bit of a giveaway.

hi dudes,

i've got a major problem...

yesterday i went to mail the tape, but the recepcionist told the i could only send the tape in box packages otherwise the tape would rip the common envelope...

And on box packages i would spend five times more than on commmon envelopes (somethig like 35 reais), so unfortunately i can't afford it now. To send in envelopes i must find a special kind of envelope that won't rip with the tape inside. I'll for these envolopes during this week but i'm afraid i may not find it.

I was also wondering how you guys send your tapes. Envelopes or boxs? Isn't mailing on box just a little tape too much more expensive than on envelopes where you live?

did you get my problem?

I hope i can side mine...

Most people have been sending them in padded envelopes. They don't cost much here, certainly less than £1 (35 Reais, that's about £8!!!).

yes Real is very underated ... 1 £ = 3,14 reais...

if you can't find a padded envelope, get a big envelope and some bubble wrapper and then put the bubble wrapper so it covers the whole envelope from the inside.

that's what i always do and it has never failed me, i never find padded envelopes so i have to make my own like that.

It's a good idea to re-use padded envelopes that you recieve in the post. You can buy pads of sticky labels that cover up the original address.

My parcel is ready to post, so I'll be sending it Monday morning.

You bastards started without me. I will make one tomorrow, probably.

i miss brazil... tudo bem huoxito?

I work with someone from Brasil and she misses it terribly, I think. It sounds too hot for my taste, but I'd rather like to see all the wildlife. And drink lots of cachaça in the proper setting.

I'm putting these comments in this thread because I can't be bothered making a new one, and it relates to my mixtape tracklisting: sometimes my printer workd fine, but sometimes nthing happens - it's as if the document or whatever is taking forever to start printing. But if the computer is shut down, the next time it's switched on the printjob commences instantly, and I get my printout. Weird.

There's some good stuff on this tape, and one half of the best EP ever released. Nice.

I'm just going to make a minor alteration to the artwork.

Posting the tape tomorrow morning.

Love.

my dad married a brazilian woman a few months ago.

I may well put a Brasilian samba band on tape 3.
