Lots of tapes shipping
« on: March 09, 2009, 04:23:21 PM »
We weren't shipping for a while--waiting for some parts in the supply chain--but duping was still going full steam ahead. Now we are able to ship again, and I am seeing very large piles of tapes going out the door today. This includes lots of catch-up of earlier titles for people who subscribed more recently as well as some TP009's. More will be shipped over the next few days.

Many subscribers will see shipping notices in their email inboxes over the next couple of days. If you just can't contain your curiosity you can email romo at tapeproject dot com and he'll look up your orders--but BE PATIENT. He's super busy right now supervising this big batch of shipping, and it might take him a week to recover.

A thorough application of gin and tonic every evening at precisely 7 p.m. will probably speed the recovery.

Wow,.. nice pad Mike. I haven't lived in an area with lots of snow in a while but it snowed quite a bit up in the mountains when I was working up there in 2007. I think I prefer to look at the pretty pictures of it now.

although the kid in me still loves the snow; this year it's been frequent and i finally purchased a Honda tracked snow blower.....so i can clear a path to the music barn and my wife can get out of the garage. i'm getting pretty tired of it. it is nice to listen to music and look outside at the snow. i think i'm ready for spring.

'Global Warming?' Hummmmmm.

i was born in Minnesota so the whole snow thing is a natural for me.

I hear you, Mike. Looks like you got the brunt of this last snow. We got by with just a dusting. It's a certainty that everyone around these parts is getting tired of being cold. We're looking at a new facility for Bottlehead (and the packing and shipping part of TP) and discussion of how well the furnace heats the place was a disproportionately large part of the negotiations yesterday.

Great news!! Got my shipping invoice the other day. TP009 on the way....

Too bad the view from my driveway isn't like Mike's. I'm looking at brown late winter grass, bare trees and a clear driveway. winter has been a big disappointment this year. I grew up in the Buffalo area and still love a big snowfall now as much as I did as a kid. Thanks for that pic Mike! At least I can live vicariously....
