note to CD swap participants

Okay, it looks like the final count is 15 participants. In order to keep the number of CDs each person has to make manageable, I'm going to go with the "three groups of five people" idea. Here's the plan:

• Each person makes four CDs, and I will randomly choose a set of four discs to send back to each of you.
  
• I should have discs in hand by February 26, which is three weeks from today. I can be a bit flexible on that since I know lots of folks are really busy right now and a couple of sets of discs are coming from overseas, but please let me know in advance if that date's going to pose a problem for you and we'll work it out.
  
• If you're local and want to do one or both disc handoffs in person, that can be arranged. As much as I'd like to do in-person handoffs in the UK, if you choose that route you'll probably be waiting for your discs until the dollar isn't in the toilet (by which I mean "quite a long time"). ;)
  

I sent this via email (to addresses listed in LJ profiles) to everyone who signed up with some additional details like my mailing address; if you don't see it soon, ping me.

Oh frabjous day!

Penzeys is coming to DC.

"The New Year is off to an exciting start. We finished last year with stores opening in Denver, Philadelphia and Long Island. Now we are putting the finishing touches on four new stores. One on the west side of Cleveland at 28601 Chagrin Boulevard, one on the west side of Omaha at 616 South 72nd Street, and two in the D.C. area, one in Rockville, MD at 1048 Rockville Pike and one in Falls Church, VA at 513 Broad Street. Look for these stores to be opening in the spring."

About damn time. =)
