NOTE: I'm pretty much just working on Bonnaroo 2005 right now.? Sorry, just too busy to do much else.

I'm just getting back into trading after a little hiatus, so there may be some funky things going on in the list down below.? If you have any questions, look in the details, or just ask!

THE METHOD TO MY MADNESS (how I do it, not necessarily "rules")

DISCS: I use Klones, or sometimes Mitsui.? I dig Sony and TDK too in a pinch.? I prefer NOT to get shows on Maxell, Memorex, Imation or generics, as I've heard too many problems about shows being lost on those.

MAIL: I send in bubble mailers, usually recycling old ones from other trades. The fiber mailers can screw up discs and CD-ROM drives with loose particles. DON'T USE THEM!!

SLEEVES: I use simple paper sleeves, and would appreciate similar protection on my discs.? NEVER DOUBLE DISCS IN THE SAME SLEEVE!!!

TAO: Boo!! You should know better! My notes usually say if a show I got is TAO. Tell me too.

INFO: I've stopped sending along info because I put EVERYTHING on my list here so you can just copy & paste.? If you have info for your show that's not on your list, by all means, send it along! (source, setlist, special notes, whatever, you can never have too much info).

WRITING ON DISCS: I NEVER write on your discs. Everyone has a different system they like. I just write a little note on the sleeve, or slip a piece of paper into the sleeve indicating which disc is which. If you simply must mark my CD, use the inner ring.

I'm a pretty easy trader, so if you have any special requests, just let me know!? I'm flexible!

Happy trading, and let the music play...
