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.
- 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.
- If you’re in for the CD trade end of things, leave a comment on this post.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!)
We’ll host it at Vermillion if you want.
Awesome. Let’s talk! i’ll give you a call
that’s what happens when i try to complete a master’s in 1 year. too much stuff gets away from me
thanks for picking this up J – i agree that random works :)
I met some friends for a happy hour at the Vermillion a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! It gets my vote!
Vermillion is one of my favorite spots.
I stumbled on Vermillion the other day… very cool place, more people should check it out.
I’m in!
Count me in!
Dumb as this sounds, I’ve never made a mix CD.
I will try though!
But still super psyched at the thought of making someone a CD!
I’m in!
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?)
