I like the promo-mix idea, but guys, I'm not even a full fledged teacher: an assistant teacher...I will be fronting the cash on the credit card because I do not make shit! Word? If that's the case, how am I gonna front money for the CD AND the promo?

make the promo-mix a free deal to spread around maybe?, to lure in purchases

500 sounds ok. what about the pre-orders? lets bring it up, man... i mean, if only SOME ppl will pre-order, it'll solve the money problem...
promo: i dont know if noixe idea was to put it on cd? some mp3 promo mix to spread via internet should work for promotion, shouldn't it?

nah I just meant we circulate a half hour mix with vocal drops built in "WWW.BREAKINTHEROAD.ORG," katrina-appropriate news quotes and shit. put it up and e-mail everyone. spread the word about the thing.
I don't know how much it'll help for pre-orders, but it'll hype it up if nothing else...
I am currently waiting for the final art piece and graphic design from Mr. BobbyDee. He has told me that he will be able to complete this task within 48 hours.
I will begin taking pre-orders once I have submitted the Master CD and Graphic Design Proof to the CD production company. I want very much to have this done well before Christmas. I believe that those of you in the Bay Area will be able to recieve them before Christmas/Hannakuh/Kwanzaa because I will deliver them myself if I have to. I won't know about the rest of US/World shipping until I have the CD in production.
You see, it will take 10 days (at minimum) to have the CD produced and sent back to me. At that point, I can start getting orders and slanging it at shops, etc.
I feel that this will be a very critical time given that it's the holiday season and I will be more likely to move units during this time. The window of opportunity will close shortly and I'm afraid that not only will I be able to move units, I will be unable to recop the $1000 that I am dropping on this piece.
My situation is this (charitable yet preactical): I wanna do good for the folks down in the South without homes, but I also don't wanna go broke myself. I am a humble man with LITTLE money...I have only agreed to use my own funds because I said I would (word is bond) and I want to do right by people who are less fortunate.
The update is that I am simply waiting for the art to be done by Bobbydee. Bobbydee, in turn, is waiting for the processing of the photo that he took of his artwork. I am frustrated because I wanted this done sooner, but such is life.
This project will get done. Thanks for your patience.

Looking for an enterprising and skillfull DJ to do a promo mix of the tracks to create some MP3 buzz up in here and get the internet goin nuts. I nominate Ayres, Cosmo, or day. Of course, they should probably agree to it first, right!
Seriously though, anyone with the time, get @ me on the PM.
We regret to inform you that the DJ promo job has been filled. Thank you all for your interest and please look at this post for future employment opportunities.
If any MCs want to do some promo babble over the mix please PM me and I'll get at you with details of the album to have babble subject matter. I then can lace AI with those tracks.

I'll order as many as I can afford. If at least a dozen others do the same you shouldn't have any problem.
This project will get done. Thanks for your patience.
