Missing CD Shock!
Thursday, 13 March 2008

No CD for me this year, it would seem.

I posted it myself.  From my parents' post office.  On the 29th. 

OK, so the challenge was to finish the CD, not necessarily for it to survive the post...so...this sentence doesn't really have an ending, it just kind of peters out... 

Am disappointed because my name will appear at the bottom of the participants list as "not received" from now until next year (when I shall send two copies) but you've got to get these things in to perspective, haven't you?

*jumps out of window, in Blondie t-shirt, clutching cd* <--- but not the one I sent, because that would be like saying I didn't send it, and I did.  From my parents' post office.  On the 29th.

Wait!! (cartoonlike in mid-air T-shirt flapping in the wind, birds watching, curiously) 
 
nothing has been updated since the 8th. There are a 75 CDs still to be added to the website list. They can't all be lost. 
 
GET BACK IN THAT WINDOW!! 
 
have you sent them an email, yet?

Yes, no reply yet. 
 
Truth is, the PO was buzzing because it was the Friday before Mothering Sunday and I don't remember being asked to fill in one of those customs slips, so I have a feeling that the postal worker thought the package was staying in the UK...so...it won't even be limping over to America. It's lost forever...mainly because half-asleep-girly here forgot to write a return address on the back. 
 
Truly a marvellous display of utter incompetence.

... that's all i care about! No, really though... give them the rest of the week, and then on Monday keep trying to get in touch with them. From reading the boards, it seems like you're not the only one who's still missing.

As long as I get one... 
But last year the RPM folks worked with a few that had posting problems so 
1) they probably have they were working so hard they probably just fell asleep at their desk 
 
2) Even if not, I think with the demos you posted there's a great chance you can talk them into it 
 
I'll witness for you. You were certainly done on time.

I sent two in the same package Oz2 and Geezer. Amazingly enough Oz2 is recieved and Geezer is not! Go figure. I've emailed and called and left a message to see what is up. I really don't know what to do at this point. Irritating to say the least.

OFF THE LEDGE!!! NOW!!! 
 
So reach out to the folks at RPM and explain the situation. I am sure people will be understanding. Also, when did you post all of your tracks in your player here on the site? That stands as proof you finished.  
 
They're a pretty decent bunch back there at RPM HQ.

I'm in the same boat, or on the same ledge as it were, just checking the site from time to time and not really too concerned with it getting threre or not. After all, it's a personal challange not a contest.

So is the pavement a mess or will we still see your smirk at the listening parties??

Hmmm, I reached out and I've emailed and I've called and conversed with a voice mail machine. I did all these prior to writing said blog reply. It's just weird to me that two CDS arrive in the same package and one is received and the other is not.

Mothering Sunday?

Yep, Mother's Day in the UK. Apparently once something to do with Christianity, but now a commercial push to make us buy cards and flowers for our mums once a year (or twice a year for those of us who do that on their birthdays!).

At this stage I might consider sending a second disc and just saying that you posted on the 29th and want them to have a copy (in case that one turns up late) so you don\'t miss the Listening Parties.
