Music Swap and Party Talk

Eliza Hodgkins 1812 · 08-31-2007, 11:43 AM

Hey, hey, hey. Hi, hi.

Allow me the floor for a few minutes; there are a couple of things I'd like to discuss.

PART 1 - The Book Swap Party Hardy (in Hollywood)

First things first, I've decided to throw a party sometime in the early fall, to usher in the pretty death of things before winter. I'm in the party mood now, but we're in the middle of a heat wave and my apartment doesn't have air conditioning.

The party is two fold. In the afternoon I plan to host a book swap, where people bring in their used and/or unwanted tomes to offer up for grabs. You get rid of the old and maybe bring home some new, and then I'll cart what's leftover to the local library. There will be a book swap after party and I'm hoping my friend will DJ.

My apartment isn't huge but I'd like to invite a lot of people. There's a parking lot in back that could be somewhat converted into a patio area...I'll be inviting all the neighbors, so hopefully they won't mind/complain/bitch/be miserable.

If you're at all interested in attending, please PM me your email address (don't assume I have it; I lose phone numbers and email addresses so often one would assume I hate people, which isn't the case) and I'll be sure to include you in the Evite. I'm going to aim for late September/early October...hoping the weather will have cooled a bit by then.

PART 2 - Music

I'm back on a music kick, but this time around I'm trying not to spend ungodly amounts of money. So, I'd like to organize a music swap where participants take turns putting together mixed CDs for the group. (So, if there are 10 people participating, you'll be responsible for making 10 copies of the CD and mailing them out.)

Additionally, people can make specific requests. For example, I'm looking for 5, 6, 7, 8's albums. I was going to use my iTunes gift card to purchase, but I can only find one of their songs on a mixed CD. So, if anyone has any of their albums, I'd be grateful if they could burn me a copy. And if there's anything I have that you want, I'll return the favor....

If this is of interest to anyone, let me know and I'll figure out the best way to go about it. I'm not sure using the LoT for my own purposes (aside making the announcement) is the right thing to do, or welcome. Maybe a Yahoo group or something similar would be preferable, since I'll likely be posting this request elsewhere (on LJ), as well. If anyone interested has a suggestion for how they think this would best work, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks for reading!

Cheerio,
Aud

Sounds great, I'm not local, but sounds ideal for a swanky bash.

I'm welcoming anyone who can make it, but my pad won't accommodate a lot of stayovers...unless there's a camp out with camping mattresses and the like!

Much appreciated and tempting, believe me. I'll be in LA 9/13 (late) to 9/17. But that is not late September so, I'm likely not to be in attendance, sorry to say.

Hopefully we'll have the chance to meet when you visit.

Sounds like fun, but I'm not local either. Bummer.

I'm local and I want to borrow all of Eliza's Nancy Drew books and burn copies off all of her Debbie Gibson hits.

Awww, I only have one ND book and NO Debbie Gibson albums. So, so sorry to disappoint, but I'm sure we'll be able to come up with something to swap/share/etc.

Um, then it's my house you want to be visiting. Alas, I have no Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys, but I do still have all of my Debbie Gibson & Tiffany LP's.

Betchya I can dig up some stored Sweet Valley High action!

See, all the super cool stuff happens at Audra's. If you dig on Rick Astley vinyl & High School romance, then come to Ally country.
