It seems that in the blizzard mix-up, they left a few units off the order sheet and forgot about our posters as well. They’re working to correct those mistakes, and we’ll be sending stuff out in the meantime.

So it’s time to get on the horn and really do the grunt work to distribute them. The tracks should be making their way into online stores come next month. We’ll be sending out digital downloads and one sheets to spread the word, and we suggest that everyone do the same. Know a friend at the local college radio station? Pass them a disc. Everyone should keep in mind that we are a “collective” and the bulk of the collective’s man power comes from it’s participants. Not just Randy, Emily, and myself. Feel free to email anyone of us to let us know how you plan on helping get it out there!

Is anyone else amused by our binary code dates so far this year? 01.01.10/01.10.10/01.11.10…sadly, i’ll have to wait until October to be this delighted with the numerical calendar.  i hear if you string them all together, you can read a message from the devil.  Just saying.
