(And because we can't find another category for it, here's a link to Nightmare Graphics. They will help you make t-shirts. YEAH!)

CD/DVD Recording and Pressing

Anyone looking to record an album and then produce it has to shop around. Here are some vendors to consider. Send your recommendations to chris@pastandup.com.

• Joel Haas: Joel is an excellent sound engineer -- he can make (and mix and master) a very slick recording of any live comedy show.
• Oasis CD: In Sperryville, Va. They run-off some high-quality CDs. Excellent customer service, decent turnaround time.
• Polinta: CD replication. Don't know much about them, but here's a link.
• New England Compact Disc: Maybe a good option for fairly affordable CD runs ... including some of the smaller numbers (less than 1,000).
