Be part of the CHS CD Swap. Or just have a drink.

Your Land

Earlier this month, neighbor bridget made a proposal:


As i was reading through the comments on the CHS playlist and "music to walk to on capitol hill" threads, i realized that people have good taste in music here!

i propose we have a capitol hill mix CD trade (or mix tape trade, if you're that old school). here is how it will work:

comment here if you would like to receive a mix CD made by one of your fellow hill neighbors, in return for a CD you make for them.

Let's make it happen.

  1. Plan for a February meetup to facilitate the trades and get everybody together for a drink. RSVP and help select a date here. Be good to see you even if you don't want to be part of the music trade.
  2. If you're in for the CD trade end of things, leave a comment on this post.
  3. Don't know what the cut-off date will be. I'll update for that later. Bridget, if you are out there, I'll work with you on matching people up. I vote for random!
  4. Let's go with standard CD format so discs play on anything and the endeavor is more like old-school mix tape than dumping your harddrive.
  5. I'll figure out location but planning for this one to be a no-kid venue.

Hey, look! We're planning this in advance! (It'll never work!)

I met some friends for a happy hour at the Vermillion a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! It gets my vote!

I'd like to come!
Dumb as this sounds, I've never made a mix CD.

I will try though!

RE: I'd like to come!
Oh I must withdraw with my apologies - I am still fighting fatigue after whatever virus everyone I know seems to have come down with, and I feel like I need to pay attention to that. If I'm up for it I will come by though, and maybe people could make a few copies their CDs to sweeten the trade/mix concept some (bring 3 identical CDs, take two new ones home?)

I wish I could still make tapes!
But still super psyched at the thought of making someone a CD!
