Hey AC, ever get around to opening your presents? DL the thing, listen to the stuff? Love to know what you thought about it.

I got slammed with doing a big thing for work and have to travel for the rest of the week -- I've been eyeing the silver baggie longingly for a week now! My life clears up big time by Thursday, though, so I'll be able to check it out soon!

2010 Secret Santa Status

85.7% had a visit from Santa
8.2% got a message from the elves that there was a delay, but Santa is ON IT.
6.1% are gonna get a visit from Krampus real soon.

Reiterating, if there is anything preventing you from participating, get in touch with me. We will work on it.

Happy snow-days.

I'm a total dip.  I forgot to mention the, arguably, most fun part of my gift.  The package also included an eclectic "mix tape" of television commercials and programs from 1985-1990 that was edited from scratchbomb's personal collection of vintage VHS tapes.  I kind of forgot about it because I was saving it to watch with friends, but I previewed the footage and I am definitely looking forward to watching the rest.  I can't believe how much stuff is on there, or how disturbing commercials were in the late 80's/early 90's.

hope you enjoy it! there's also a coupla weird clips from cartoons. if i remember correctly, there's a few pieces from the shortlived Ed Grimley cartoon, which is still one of my favorite shows ever

I have personally worked out the situation with my Santee.

Thanks again for organizing, this was super fun.  Although it did lead to a 50% increase in incidences of me getting yelled at by postal workers (it was deserved)

Geneva! So so so glad you got it. A whole lot of postal fuckups went into the sending of that gift - I'm v. relieved it all made it to you in one piece.
