not hard to know what you're thinking

so little story time. this wasn't something i've done for the record.

a friend of mine, let's call him bob, has been an engineer for a while. one of the things that he does each year is some recording for a charity. he used to work with a particular charity of mentally handicapped children. he would record anything they wanted to do. they would sing songs, read stories, tell stories, play instruments, but they were mentally handicapped.

well a few months later, a friend of bobs called him up and said hey, could you help me out? he was doing this music camp for kids and it would be cool for them to be able to record something to show their parents how their money was spent. so bob recorded them.

well, office was a mess. so when it was time for the replication of the music camp cd, he picked up the unmarked cd and gave it to his friend. his friend did a nice job with the packaging, a nice cover and jewel case, an insert for the parents.

well, later bob went looking for the charity cd and realized what he thought was the charity cd was the music camp cd. so that year, the parents of these kids got mentally handicapped music. it was too late to recall, the cd. it was already distributed. i assume an apology was sent, but bob didn't know.


awesome
