Sounds Good

Got together with some fellow CHS folks for a CD swap at Vermillion on Tuesday.

Was a great way to meet more Capitol Hill neighbors, and a great way to get some new music!

Everyone (more or less) made a mix, then we drew names out of a hat (okay, a plastic cup) . . .

By far the best packaging, from Ryan:

Also included a playlist written with a typewriter!


Speaking of playlists, a few of us have posted ours over on CHS; if you'd like, please take a look.
