Literary Cottage is currently seeking entries for an anthology to be published by Adams Media. Adams Media pays $100 and one copy of the book. Literary Cottage offers prizes of $100, $75, and $50 to top three stories respectively. For WOODSTOCK REVISITED, we are seeking fifty true stories (850-1100 words) written by people who attended the 1969 Woodstock Festival. This anthology will document the event itself, but will also provide a portrait of America as that tumultuous decade came to a close. Stories should be historical within the context of 1969 and yet unique to your experience. Stories must be TRUE, vivid, and substantive. Please carefully review the details and sample story provided on the "Woodstock ’69 Guidelines" page available on: www.literarycottage.com/woodstock.html

HURRY - DEADLINE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2008  

Please, please pass on the word regarding Woodstock Revisited, as we need fifty solid stories from people who attended the festival in 1969. You can write an "as told to" story if you have friends or family who attended. If you are not a writer, send me a narrative about your experience, and I'll help you craft it. THANKS!

Interim Update - Defective Winterland Discs

marye — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:30:27 -0500

Folks, we are very aware that many of you bought the lovely Winterland set only to have a defective disc. Some reported that Bertha was unplayable, some that the tracks couldn't be loaded into iTunes, some had both problems.

While we're working on a more comprehensive solution to this, we wanted to pass along this info which we think may be a short-term band-aid to the iTunes problem. We encourage you to try it if you've had the problem, and if you'd post here whether it worked for you or not, well, we'd appreciate that too!

If you are having problems ripping tracks from your Winterland boxed set into iTunes, please try the following:

-          click the "Edit" button on your player and select "Preferences"
-          once in the "Preferences" menu, select the "Advanced" tab
-          once you've selected the "Advanced" tab, click on the "Importing" tab
-          from the "Importing" menu, check the box which reads "Use Error Correction When Reading Audio CDs"

This should help you import tracks from your Winterland boxed set successfully.

TigerLilly suggested this one after GypsySoul thought she deserved an Iron Bladder Award, or some such, for superhuman endurance as reported in the Bathroom Break topic. So nominate your pals for silly awards here. Silly but kind awards...
