Apparently I caused an anthrax scare yesterday. Oops.
So, about a week ago someone contacted me about a possible On the Mark gig, and I promised to send her a demo tape. So I did, a few days ago. (We get few enough of these that I still individually craft the demo tapes based on the type of music the customer appears to want.)
Yesterday there was a message on the machine: "Hi, you sent us something bulky with extra postage, and we don't recognize your name, and we're afraid to open it, so could you call us back and tell us what this is?" This was followed a couple messages later by one that said "oh, oops, you're the music group we talked to!".
Oops.
The postage was AFAIK correct; it's what it takes to mail a cassette in a small padded envelope. I was out of small padded envelopes, so I took a small sheet of foam that had come wrapped around some CDs, wrapped the cassette in that, and put the whole thing in a regular envelope. So maybe I overpaid by an ounce, but I don't think so.
