- | I recall last year there was a lot of grumbling from many of the people

- Here's an alternative method. I call it a Tape Mushroom.
-
- First you decide what tape you want. Say, MSG 9/10/91. Next you get the
- names of four other people who would like to get copies of 9/10/91.
-
- Write all the names on a sheet of paper, with your name on the bottom.

- copy of 9/10/91, along with the following instructions:

- | o DEAR TAPEHEAD: You have been selected to participate in a Tape |
- | Mushroom for Madison Square Garden 9/10/91! |
- | |
- | o Obtain and send a copy of MSG 9/10/91 to the top name on this sheet. |
- | |
- | o Remove the top name from the sheet and add your name to the bottom. |
- | |
- | o Send a copy of these instructions to 10 people who you think might |
- | be able to come up with a decent copy of MSG 9/10/91. |
- | |
- | o Within a few weeks, you will receive tens of thousands of copies of |
- | MSG 9/10/91. Listen to all the copies and save the best sounding |
- | tape. Odds are out of all those thousands of tapes *someone* will |
- | send you a high quality soundboard! Save the rest of the tapes for |
- | future Tape Mushrooms. Oh yeah, buy stock in Maxell. You won't |
- | regret it! |
