You have gone beyond the call of duty, and words cannot express my personal indebtedness to you. You have been gracious and understanding when we've hit a few snags, and you are wise to the economics of our situation and have the keen sense that this is indeed a "partnership" that goes far beyond a merely commercial enterprise. God bless you all, and a thousand 'thank yous' for all that you've helped us accomplish thus far. Because of you and God's faithfulness, we will continue to do what we do, and do it better than ever. I'm convinced it's going to be a fun and fulfilling year, and I want you to know that we've got a few surprises for you along the way. Bless you in advance for making it possible. Yours Under the Mercy, Terry Scott Taylor I went to a Living room concert put on by my neighbor (Steve Durben) across the street. the concert was ADAM MARSLAND http://members.aol.com/karmafrog618/here2.html June 2, 2003 -- House Party, Minneapolis, MN ( actaully June 3 -- Golden Valley ) He talked alot about record companies / independent / clear channel / etc. he has became a D I Y artist ( do it yourself ) & claimed it was going GooD for him, he is doing a one man coffee/bar/house tour now, check him out... __________________ ® 06-05-2003 08:12 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 quote: Originally posted by audiori, May 20 quote: Originally posted by carl "Now" really means "now" this time, right?

Now always meant now. [emphasis -- and business taken elsewhere the second I read that -- mine] The only reason the entire group of leftovers didn't go out before we left town was simply because we ran out of time. By the way, it was originally something like 150 of them that didn't go out originally.. then a bunch went out sometime later when the money was there.. then we were down to the 60.. some of those went out before we left. And so here we are, yet yet yet yet yet again, just about three weeks later.... Silly me. Therefore: Never -- MIND. I just hired someone to burn the nadaed thing for me.

The problem is, we also have -tons of 77s fan club discs shipping out, - tons of Roe fan club discs shipping out, - tons of regular orders (that we're behind on since we went out of town) shipping out, - plus, we're getting ready to start shipping Prickly Heat, - and we're trying to finish a number of emergency pre-Cornerstone projects that we have to have turned in *immediately*. Remember, to you it's simply waiting on one CD which is why its frustrating. But to us, its one CD out of literally thousands that we have to ship out right now. Many of which, we have to make by hand. Don't worry - you'll get your fan club disc. You can pay extra for a second copy from someone else if you'd like. I wouldn't. __________________ "Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall enjoy everything" -St. Francis of Assisi "A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality." - GK Chesterton 06-08-2003 02:35 dfroystad Sublime Brain Puppet Registration Date: 09-11-2002 Posts: 85 Location: way out north...uhm. norway i guess you will ship both the Prickly Heat, Rosebud and Bottomline in one pacakge for people orderd all three ? btw. what happend to the original discussion in this thread. about a possible 'investors fund' for a new DA album ? has the idea been forwarded to mr. terry taylor, or any other progress made ? 06-08-2003 08:38 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom quote: Originally posted by audiori We started shipping them out when we said we did.

Should I send another e-mail (having not heard anything back on the first)? Should I keep venting? Will I get the girl? Will the girl get a dog? Will the dog get fleas? Will the fleas inherit the earth? Stay tuned....

Did you join after the first disc was done and only have the second and should get the thrid? Or joined before first one and still have not recieved 2nd? If its that last option then there has to be a problem.. we can check on, and send another if need be. quote: me, later that day: The last.... We exchanged e-mails about it a month or so ago, & you indicated then that you'd send another disk. [emphasis mine] I still don't have it, though.... I shot another e-mail about a week ago, but hadn't heard back.... and as indicated elsewhere, sometimes this route works better.... quote: Originally posted by audiori, April 6 Our wires got crossed a bit.. my brother was under the impression that all of the AC2 discs were shipped. They haven't all shipped yet. We still have 60 or so that still need to go out. The store has not been able to afford to ship them any faster. The last week has been fairly good, so we may be able to get a lot of the remaining discs out. Sales have been poor from January through March, so what little has come in has gone to just keeping all of our heads above water. We've had nothing extra to put towards things like this... even shipping Hodgepodge was pretty rough. Barely got through that. re: Carl's disc. Your second copy is with the remaining CDs. I'm going over our March sales/bills right now - trying to get some bills paid - and I should know in the next day or two whether or not we can ship the rest of the club discs out. I'll let everyone know. quote: me, April 17: ....any further word as to when the "Gang of 60" might be released? quote: Originally posted by audiori, April 29 Yes, they are going out now.

So.... do you STILL want to maintain this position? In one way, I don't care, because I'm getting my disk from elsewhere and not putting myself in a position for this kind of discussion to ever happen again.

I'm still waiting for my Uncle Stonehill's hat from the webstore which I ordered before Easter. It was supposed to be an Easter present to my daughter. I am told it shipped and must have got lost.

Yes. Fan club discs ship when we have the CDs (many times we only get a small number of discs at first, then have to wait for more, etc) and when we have the money to ship them. We included most of AC2 with "Random Acts" because we had no extra money to ship them by themselves. Everything we said above is true.. we've been shipping them out little by little as we have money. When we say things like "I think I only have a handful left to ship, which will probably go out today" it was wishful thinking. We did only have a handful left to ship - and did ship some of them but could not afford to ship them all. Fan club discs are not a regular order. There is no guarantees about when they will ship. As I said above, they ship when we have them to ship and when we have money to ship them. We can't do anything else. We thought we would have had them all shipped earlier - and tried - but it was impossible. They will all be shipped ASAP - so everyone can get them before Cstone. I'm going to include some with Prickly Heat whenever possible - beacause we do have some shipping money reserved for those CDs and adding the fan club discs shouldn't add too much to the cost of the postage. (Although doubling the shipments by sending 2 Prickly Heats to everyone is gonna make it a little tighter than we had originally planned, but I think we can afford to do it...) quote: But if you truly don't see a problem here.... well, there really IS nothing left to say here, then, is there?.... As I said before, we have literally thousands of things that have to be made and shipped before Cstone. We're shipping them all out as fast as possible. Everyone wants these things in their hands a year ago. Some of them were late before they even got into our hands.. others have deadlines. There's no way we can make everyone happy here - if one item is shipped first, everyone waiting on the other items will complain. We've basically given up trying to keep everyone happy in these situations, because it is an impossible task.

I know it is not your fault that my first disc was lost in the mail. I know you guys are just volunteers basically helping out the cause. Maybe you could get some kids to help. I ordered some CD's from Australia from the Paul Colman Trio fan website and the young lady got them to me in a week all the way from Australia! These kids don't have other jobs to interfere like us grown ups do Not sure if she is high school or college age. 06-09-2003 19:04 Pages (9): « first ... « previous 6 7 [8] 9 next » Tree Structure | Board Structure Jump to: Please select: -------------------- DA Related Discussion-- General Discussion-- Upcoming Releases-- CD & DVD Reviews-- Larry - Lucy I'm In LoveFAQs and Notices Daniel Amos Message Board » DA Related Discussion » General Discussion » DAconomics Forum Software: Burning Board 2.3.6, Developed by WoltLab GmbH
