Mystery CD Redux and Other Musings

Before I formally begin, I would like to remind everyone that when you reply to the email notifications about a new post here, the email goes to me and no one else. The point of the blog was to make comments public rather than everything going through me.

Next.

The Mystery Woman CD has still not been solved. And the lack of any comments here is mystifying. Adam, Hugo, and Cara all denied sending it. That said, I have some theories!!!!

A. - it was ADAM

Adam was was first person to deny it was him, and the only person to follow up a week later asking if I'd figured anything out. And Adam does have a lot of time on his hands (Underminer lesson of the day.) Additionally, if the CD WENT TO ADAM the person has access to Adam's address, and since he has only been in the club THIS YEAR, the Mystery Lady is NOT A PAST MEMBER!!! A-HA!!!

B. - it was PAUL

The Mystery Lady, who you can see I suspect it not a lady at all in the conventional sense, is tech savvy. There are vocally disguised announcements, and CRAZIER, the track listing is in place!!! That rules out Johanna. Though the recent loss of Paul's harddrive may put a damper on this theory.

C. it was DONNIE and/or Brian

Donald and Brian have hatched plans before. Say, at Adam's WINE BAR. I can see them coming up with this idea. The crazies. And their silence on the matter has been deafening. DEAF - N - ING.

Though maybe they are just worn out from Kylie.

D. - it was someone random and we should be scared.

Okay MORE NEWS.

This has been a very weird year in terms of CD distribution. Pretty much EVERYONE has been late. John in Boston PROMISES his is going out this weekend. I know Johanna is eager to send out the official October CD, unless SHE is the Mystery Lady and this IS the October CD!?!?!? Anyway, and we'll see who read this far down, BUT...HUGO. IS. OUT. OF. THE. COUNTRY. UNTIL. DECEMBER.

Yes, Hugo has left us for the wilds of Argentina. And he will MISS his ENTIRE MONTH. He is/was November. Whether Jen does a solo CD, or December is willing to switch with Hugo, I can NOT SAY (I am guessing Matt, who is December, has been planning his CD for 11 months, and will not be able part with the month. But we'll see.)

WHAT WILL HAPPEN!?!?!?!?!

WHO IS THE MYSTERY LADY?!?!!!?

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL RESPOND TO THIS BY EMAIL RATHER THAN POST ONLINE!!?!?

Only time will tell.

Mystery CD

Has anyone else received a CD from the "Mystery Lady?"
I'm being serious here.
John and I return from L.A. where we totally hung out with Joey McIntyre!!!! no I mean we saw him but anyway, totally cool right!?!?!? Okay wait sorry, we return from L.A. and there is a CD from the "Mystery Lady" with...us as the return address?

I have it on good authority that it is NOT from John in Boston. Who will be sending his CD soon and wants me to "keep the wolves at bay." I am assuming he does not mean the hewolf in his closet. Or Hugo. John has been very busy dancing.

So I am left wondering if this was a CD club-wide mailing, one only to a select few...or one only to me?!?!?! And John. Me and John.

And since everyone is wondering, John in Boston has ALWAYS pointed when he dances.

End of Summer/Party in the USA

August

Hard and Soft Launches

Goodness...the summer CDs are arriving.

If the postman has been nice to you, you have received Signe's CD. Signe, the title. What does it MEAN?!?!?!?

Adam's CD has received something more like a soft launch. He has been personally handing it to people. So if you seem him regularly you have had the double CDs for a while and have been enjoying them. If you seem him occassionally, a grouping I fall into, you just received them, and if you see him infrequently or never, or have no idea who he is, you will recieve them when Adam discovers that there are post offices within five minute walks from his apartment and his place of work. And that putting CDs in envelopes is no more time consuming than fretting about Todd Palin's facial hair.

The official August CDs will go out next week to give everyone a chance to enjoy June and July, and this will hopefully give John A. in Boston a chance to send Semptember in a timely fashion.

The Phoenix From the Flames

Bear (mmmm bears) with me here.

It has been an odd summer, an atypical summer, for the CD club. In past years, when summer was populated by the Donnies and Hugos of the world, we got shiny summer mixes on time and in shiny fun packages....but alas Donnie could not be summer fun forever, and Hugo requested a month swap with, well, me.

In their stead we got Adam, Signe, and Me. Now for various reasons, things happened, and no CDs were sent out in June OR July. But, but...but. That is SO about to change...

Like the Phoenix from the flames (Remember the bar The Phoenix? Remember when it was the awesomest bar the ever awesomed?It's in that cycle of bars where the cute young guys who used to go have attracted the older guys who like to stare at the younger guys, but now the younger guys aren't there anymore. In short, the Phoenix could take after its namesake.) the CD club is rising in the month of of August....

Signe has sent out her CD. (She also has a new job!!! Yay!!!!)

Adam is valiantly attempting to finish his CDs and may have sent them off yesterday, or today, or will be sending them off Monday.

And I will send out CDs the last week of August...

It will be a glut of goodness. A variety! A feast for the senses. Or, at least the aural one.

Also, Matt's birthday was in July. He totally tried to sneak that one by us....or at least, me.
