PM or my forum name at gmailIf someone is fearing doing a re-foam of the woofers there are a lot of great you tube videos. I was able to do it and if I can you can too (I can not overstate my lack of eye hand coordination and repair skills). It makes a great fall / winter repair project and you will feel higher self esteem every time you listen to tunes through them.

Listen to Big John people, it's easy. Grab them from me, do the work and you'll have a REALLY nice set of speakers possibly for a lifetime. All at a cost of zero dollars...

Cross post from the Jesus Lizard C/NC:Have 2 tix to see TJL at Black Cat, DC tonight that I can't use. Planned to travel from New England to DC for the show but work and family issues have interfered. Show is sold out. PM me if interested.Offered for free but if you want to send me something cool as a barter, I won't say no.

Any UK prfers still use an Xbox 360? I've got a few games that I'd be happy to post out for free.

Anyone in Chicago in need of baby furniture, specifically a changing table/dresser combo, and a matching wardrobe thingy? PM me if interested and I can send pix. Nice, solid construction, dark cherry stain. Yours for the price of "you come get this stuff and haul it away from my house."

The speakers have been claimed and picked up, thanks all!

Also I have a ton of packing peanuts. I have a medium sized box full of the ones that are environmentally friendly, and I also have a wardrobe box full of ones that aren't. Come pick them up in Lincoln Square.
