lost and found and itunes

nothing theological or deep here. part of my job at camp is maintaining the lost and found (LF). as we sort through the LF there are usually some cool things. we wait the allotted 90 days for someone to claim the items and then either give them to staff members who like them or take them down to the Manna house a charity that gives the clothes away for free. some of the best finds have been a GameBoy advance, that now resides in the Accommo Office, a Helly Hansen rain suit, some cool shirts, and a ton of Nalgenes. so many that i have made a set of Nalgene cups that are 16, 22 and 32 oz in size. along with LF people throw away money all the time at camp. how you ask??? well they throw their bottles in the garbage can when they could be recycling them right next to the can. it blows my mind, but that is another topic. anyway so we collect the bottles and take them down to Heartland the developmentally disabled recycling center and make a little money off of them. good for a pizza here and there for the Accommo team (we are the ones digging in trash) or to help build better recycling facilities. but most recently people have been throwing away there bottles or not bothering to look under the cap. Pepsi and Apple have teamed up and until April 11 they will give away free downloads off of ITunes. people are throwing these things away. all you have to do is enter in the code under the cap and get your song. this brings forth the dilemma i am in. as we get these songs, we give them away to people up here and myself. i have these free songs burning a hole in my pocket. it is a lot harder to pick one song than you think, so that opens up with my idea here. i would love for you to send me recommendations of the best one hit wonders that you know. or a song off of an obscure album that blows your mind and i hope that these recommendations will aid in me choosing a few songs. if i do choose your recommendation, i will email you the code for a free down load. that simple. please get your recommendations in asap so i cna get you the download and choose one myself. please post your recommendations in the post above this one. also this will reveal a little about all of us. i will let you know which songs i chose after april 11th.
