Are you authorized to use the 12th Man term? (the rolleyes are for my alma mater, by the way).

Lot of love shown for Free on this thread. I think it's time to revive the Happy Birthday Free thread once again. I think we've missed two or three of his birthdays as well!

Fareed Haque and Everett Harp did albums in this series. Haque's was a cover of CSNY's "Deja Vu". Harp's was a cover of "What's Going On". I believe there were some others, and also think there is some prior discussion of this on the BB, but it's too difficult to perform the search and find it. edit - oh, and Bob Belden did "Tapestry".

Well, whaddaya think, Matthew? I think it's well worth that price (but as you know I love that album!). What PT are you still missing?

Bringing wine from Germany to the States
Aggie87 replied to Peter Johnson's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
From the U.S. Customs webpage: Alcoholic Beverages: One liter (33.8 fl. oz.) of alcoholic beverages may be included in your exemption if: * You are 21 years old. * It is for your own use or as a gift. * It does not violate the laws of the state in which you arrive. Federal regulations allow you to bring back more than one liter of alcoholic beverage for personal use, but, as with extra tobacco, you will have to pay duty and Internal Revenue Service tax. While Federal regulations do not specify a limit on the amount of alcohol you may bring back for personal use, unusual quantities are liable to raise suspicions that you are importing the alcohol for other purposes, such as for resale. CBP officers are authorized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to make on-the-spot determinations that an importation is for commercial purposes, and may require you to obtain a permit to import the alcohol before releasing it to you. If you intend to bring back a substantial quantity of alcohol for your personal use, you should contact the port through which you will be re-entering the country, and make prior arrangements for entering the alcohol into the United States. Also, you should be aware that state laws might limit the amount of alcohol you can bring in without a license. If you arrive in a state that has limitations on the amount of alcohol you may bring in without a license, that state law will be enforced by CBP, even though it may be more restrictive than federal regulations. We recommend that you check with the state government before you go abroad about their limitations on quantities allowed for personal importation and additional state taxes that might apply. In brief, for both alcohol and tobacco, the quantities discussed in this booklet as being eligible for duty-free treatment may be included in your $800 or $1,600 exemption, just as any other purchase would be. But unlike other kinds of merchandise, amounts beyond those discussed here as being duty-free are taxed, even if you have not exceeded, or even met, your personal exemption. For example, if your exemption is $800 and you bring back three liters of wine and nothing else, two of those liters will be dutiable. Federal law prohibits shipping alcoholic beverages by mail within the United States. -
Well i suppose that's one way of looking at it... ....doesn't it just SUCK how badly they're screwing us in this sale??

I am. Placed my order Wednesday night (30 discs, paid for shipping, order #5615), and have not yet received any shipping confirmation.

4 orders?

All the BN's are now showing in the yourmusic new release section. And I hadn't realized that Sony had released that Springsteen 2 cd live set from 1975. It was the DVD that was released previously in the 3 disc Born to Run box, I believe.

What live music are you going to see tonight?
Aggie87 replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Quite an impressive series of shows! I'd love to see all of those. -
Check out this thread from JC
Aggie87 replied to Christiern's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I don't think he's a regular reader of that board. Or any jazz bb for that matter. I could be wrong, but I think you're wasting your time if you think he'll come back and engage you personally. -
If you get yours and I don't get mine, you gotta send yours to me. If we're playing that game, I want felser's order!!!

Cruising towards half a million posts
Aggie87 replied to ghost of miles's topic in Forums Discussion
Damn....still 140 posts behind Ron!!! Thanks Jim -
I don't know--I just ordered and ordered. Email confirmation also says free shipping. I also got free shipping. ....well, you should, since you basically bought half their warehouse!!! edit - would have been nice if they had posted their tiered shipping rates in advance though...i coulda found a few more titles, saved the $15 shipping, and effectively got 5 more discs free...
-
How did you get free shipping? I just ordered 30 titles, and they charged me $15 for Fedex, with no other option. edit - that's STILL $3.48 per disc, shipped to my door, so I ain't complaining THAT much!
