im really proud you guys like Andy's book.  i was anxious about it.  seriously, im humbled.

and if you havent had a chance to see it, there is a special thanks to Tom, Omar/Recidivism.org, and the FOT on the board.  seriously, you guys made the book*; i merely put it in a medium. 







*all photos in the book were credited with the corresponding FOT handle.  (for the record, Martin took the cake.)

I suspect your avatar is indicative of what really happened.

I also got a great gift from Snogrog today (although it arrived before christmas, not getting it till today is on me).  I am now all set for NY and the mr brooks movie night.  Can't wait.  Snogrog, check your uni email.

Thank you Spoony for the very cool pinhole camera.  I look forward to contributing something artsy (or at least fartsy) to the next Pictures You Took book.  I'll feel like a regular William Igglesstein!   Nice job!

I really can't wait to see them. I imagine there will be some trial and error, but sometimes you have to BLEED FOR IT.* I hope you could read my palsy-handwriting.

By the way, Emma was no slouching in the Secret Santa department AT ALL. It was funny, sweet, and tied into Saul Rubineck.

[Martin]

Fuck you, Santa.

[snogrog]

Fuck you, Santa.

Uh oh!

[masterofsparks]

Fuck you, Santa.

How dare you, Martin's Santa!

[Andy]

anyone else that didn't get something?  who wants to pitch in to get Martin some pickled herring?

[iAmBaronVonTito]

i was crossing my fingers that i would get Martin- i got Andy instead.  he was a real snore to shop for and probably ungrateful.*

Martin, if you give a shit,send me your address.  regardless of presents, everyone likes getting personal mail.








note: im only kidding, everyone!

[Martin]

I've been promised it's on its way.

It has been suggested that my present was "a life lesson: learning to cope with dissapointment, and being let down by others". I can see that.

I am happy to report that my gift has now arrived. I am now going through a book of deliciously offensive cartoons and a USB that is so chock full of goodies that I don't know where to begin. My Secret Santa had circumstances that were beyond his control and completely understandable, and I salute him for following through during difficult times.

Thank you very much, Bryan! I really appreciate everything!

As for Martin, this seems like a cosmic injustice. I will be intersted to see how things play out.

[Bryan]

Forrest, I'm glad you're enjoying. I'm a little surprised that it took a full month to get to you (NYC is only a 10-hour drive from here), but whattaya gonna do?
