Ugh. I have a class on Wednesday nights. :(

Yes, Vincent's is much better for us out here in Nebraska.

Is anyone interested in a theme? I was just talking to Preacha, and then Tibbs and Jennever over the weekend about these mixes and how everyone's individual personalities really shine through on them. I was noticing that while I might share a lot of the same bands with my friends, there's something different in each of those bands that we each like, so, say we all made compilations of our favorite Beatles songs, or Van Halen songs, or Dwight Yoakham songs.... we'd pick different ones based on what we like about them. Mine would always be the downer ones with a major 7 chord in there somewhere. I'm still looking for that one in Dwight's discography.

I always use a theme. Generally, it's "the most recent releases that I own." Gotta set some parameters, and narrow the playing field, because it's the only way my OCD brain can wrap itself around the sheer volume of music I'd have to pick from.

And I'm in, by the way.

i'm on a one man mission to put a modern spin on the nrbq classic.

that doesn't sound half bad if you are referring to the Horseshoe.

Well, they have a bitchin' Applebees out there, but the Horseshoe would be cool too!

I might be away the Thanksgiving week.

How about this. Let's meet at 7am on a street corner where kids are waiting for the school bus. How funny would that be?

But seriously, how about a pubby restaurant where we can eat, drink and be Mary.

Wonder Bar on Shrewsbury Street?

Sounds great to me.

for those reading who don't know what we are talking about. Once everyone who wants to be involved chimes in, everyone then makes a mix CD and makes enough copies for everyone involved. We meet up and exchange the discs and voila, you walk away with a stack of new music that will take you months to listen to.

I like the Hudson idea. Jennever and I would not be able to make the Thanksgiving Eve gathering since we will be in Maine.

For those that are feeling a bit in the dark. Great place, great beer, great food. The tap list on the web site is very out of date, but... 80 taps, something for anyone who likes beer. :P

YES YES YES!

And Linnea, you don't have to wear a special hat.


You just have to mark an X on your hand in black sharpie.

Roger

as long as I can drink :-)

Oh by the way, the theme thing sounds fantastic.
I vote for road trip songs.

Having 15 new soundtracks to a road trip would be pretty awesome.

Bump. Soes people don't forget.

My suggestion for location is that new place in Kelly Sq, Takara.
Sushi, steak, "exotic" drinks. I think this would be a damn good time plus alot of us would be trying a new place and supporting a brand new business at the same time.

What do you think?

I like the Horseshoe idea only because I have been meaning to get there for a while.

also. when is this happening?

Okay I guess it's the Horseshoe Pub.

I think we were talking about Friday Dec 1st right?

I am good with any place, I wouldn't mind checking out that place you recommended either. Whatever is fine with me, what does everyone else think?

A few of us went out to the Horseshoe Pub Saturday night, and it's awesome. We should definitely have our CD exchange there. The end.

We were in the bar from probably 7-7:30, then in the restaurant until 9:30 or 10 (it was hard to keep track of the time, after sampling a lot of the different beer). When were you there?

Damn......just noticed this. Whatever.....i still have enough time......add me on to the list.....i need some new music.

Thanx party people!

Okay so 10 definites:
GABEFUCKINGROLLINS
DUNCAN
PREACHER
JENNEVER
KEITH
YETITIBBS
RODGRE
PEZ
RONALDO
SHAME

Three more who showed intrest (although I do doubt their commitment to sparklemotion)

LOUIE
LINNEA
WIRRLYGIRL

Is the official date for this December 1st? I will be somewhere far, far warmer than Worcester that weekend, but if it's any other time I can make it.

I have no problem bumping it forward a week...

I'm planning on sending CDs even though I won't be there, mine is all set I just have to make copies and hand them off to someone to bring for me. How many do we need now?

I was just going to suggest moving this to next week some time. Maybe Dec 8 or 9? What do we say?

ooh my vote is for Saturday the 9th!

9th is good for me. What time?

help! please?!
i keep getting errors trying to burn my cd's.
can someone please help me trouble shoot the problem?

my success/failure ratio is 3 good 7 in the trash.
I have always used Nero for burning music with only occassional problems.. one of my tracks is write protected so i switched to Windows Media players burning funtion ( got 2 good ones) and then all this week the process kept failing.
I re-ripped the liscenced song so that it would work in Nero and just now had a success (yay) followed by 4 failures. Nero is telling me that " A Reset has occured".

anyone know what i should try next?
Thx

thx
i really hope i can get this working...i have been making all original artwork for each individual cd cover.
i would like to fix Nero but i'll check out iTunes too

iTunes 7 is real nice. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ to make a cd, make a playlist with the songs you want and you can burn a disc of that playlist from iTunes

iTunes 7 is nice...
but I'm finding that it doesnt play nice with cd burners operating on Windows XP

(im sifting through the iTunes support for a solution)

::::sigh::::

any other suggestions?

It does sound like you have some computer issues beyond the burning software. Drivers for the cd burner could be updated. How much ram does your computer have and how much free hard drive space is there?

Unfortunately i'm going to have to drop out of this one. I found out too late & just don't have the time to put it together. Got too many things to take care of before hitting Florida on Sat. I already know how i want to put the next one together.......so i guess i'll see y'all at the next one in the spring!!
