OK, all. Over 50 of you signed up. If you signed up, you should have a PM from me with the name and address of your giftee. Please let me know if I screwed something up, and I'll see if it is fixable. Meanwhile, make those CDs! Enjoy.

This will be so much fun. And it's like you get an extra Christmas present.

Question. I have never posted a parcel in my life (Yes how shocking). Any brits care to give me a quick run through. And also, is there any extra charge to either Ireland, Scotland, or Wales?

I'm glad that the person who got my exchange mix CD last year is still playing it. I think that it should be mix of old familiar stuff & some obsure bands. I'm already working out my track listing. How sad is that!! Not sad at all. I've been vetting opening tracks for ages.

I have a feeling that Hoodrat may have made the gift/giftees into a circle ie:
A gives to B B gives to C C gives to D D gives to E E gives to A

I have a feeling that Hoodrat may have made the gift/giftees into a circle ie: A gives to B B gives to C C gives to D D gives to E E gives to A more or less, but not nearly so neat. there were way too many parameters involved (A couldn't send outside the US; B couldn't send outside the UK; C wanted to send outside the US; D wanted to receive from someone international; E wanted to send only to someone with attached earlobes.) And there is nothing vaguely alphabetical about the circle. but basically, yeah.

What is the deadline for sending the CDs? While I will probably make my playlist and CD ASAP, there's no knowing if I'll have time before I get home (Dec 15) to mail it...

We did not set a formal deadline ahead of time. But I think mailing about 12/15 makes an excellent goal that would ensure that even overseas mailings arrive before new years. If last year is any measure, the vast majority will get them out before the end of the year, a few after, and a handful not at all. If your CD has not arrived by 1/1/09, PM me, and we'll see if we can't collectively take up the slack. If we have signups who disappear again, we can discuss how best to take up the slack here.

I made a couple of playlists, but I can't decide which to go with. If you were going to receive said cd, which would you prefer?
a) Songs About [Sender's Home Town] b) A Song from Every (Canadian) Province c) Bands That Remind Me of the Hold Steady

I will do my absolute best to get mine out before the end of 2008! However, I'd like to make a cover for it and so on to make it packaged nicely, and the end of term is INCREDIBLY busy around here. And then I'm going to my folks' place for Christmas. But I will not under any circumstances default! x

GB: it's not like it has to go through customs Postage will be the same. I suggest you put your cd in a padded envelope and take it to the post office. If you're concerned about it reaching its destination, ask for recorded delivery - for 70p extra it gets signed for on delivery. All very straightforward.
