"Easter Show" weed offer.



Hey - I successfully nabbed the 12/30 BB show from 
DaD sometime overnight, and since I realize that not 
everyone is suited for/comfortable with running P2P 
software clients... here's an offer for the fogeys 
among us: I'm going to offer the show up to Babelistas 
the old-fashioned way - on a white-sleeve, triple-LP 
vinyl set with a colored-paper insert. (jokes!!) 

Seriously -- this is a weed announcement. The first 
five folks who write me with a snail-mail address 
AND .... (NB!) who pledge to turn around and offer 
to burn several copies for perfect strangers publicly 
just like I am doing now, are eligible. 

Typical practice on weeds is for folks to set aside a 
number of burns for burnerless folks, once the initial 
frenzy has settled down, but since this is the first 
offer I see, I'm going to restrict it to folks who can 
re-offer copies. 

(Of course, torrenting has redefined "weed frenzy", 
as a hundred or so people seemed to have grabbed the 
show the first night it was offered....Chances are 
that any demand for burned discs in snail-mail will 
be met quickly. It seems that trees and weeds are 
somewhat passe now....[sigh])
