Hey Tim,
Looks like a cool set of tracks. I'd be interested in hearing it.
While pressing 2000 CDs without a plan for distribution may have been a bit=
hasty...I wouldn't be so down about it. Why not put a listing on CD Baby =
or Amazon? It won't cost you anything and you might sell some CDs. Or put=
it on iTunes, which is free [actually CD Baby does this for you if you sel=
l with them].
Certainly make another attempt to contact the company that runs the shops i=
n the park. The key would be finding the name of the person who actually d=
ecides that stuff, i.e. the 'buyer'.
