Gyaneshwar wrote in his special instructions that if Djurnon was his Secret Santa, no homemade mayonnaise was to be sent.

That is awesome.

Nicole did her research of my twitter feed, I believe, and did it well.
Thanks again for affirming my belief that FOTs are the nicest, bestest people around.

I'm so, so glad you liked it! I definitely scoped the twitter feed, fo sho. And you mentioned your little one either over there or on the board here so, I had to pass on the Padres love.

Thank YOU for the sweet words and also for being really funny. Gyaneshwar wrote in his special instructions that if Djurnon was his Secret Santa, no homemade mayonnaise was to be sent.

I just received an incredible package from AmIRight, including a radio station promotional T, a copy of Mike Birbiglia's sleep-walking book, a flash drive disguised as a bullet (or lipstick, I'm not sure) and a couple of discs.

I am embarassed to say that I have not yet put my package in the mail, owing to a terrible combination of the flu, followed by a snowstorm, coinciding with a back meltdown. So I am publicly calling myself out, and am apologizing to NJL, who is unfairly waiting for what should have already arrived. Thanks for your patience.

Pierre, I just logged on to thank you.  I love it.  I think it's going in my office.  As soon as I figure out how to post a picture of it, I will.  It is one of the best things ever.  Thank you!

So happy it arrived safe and sound and wasn't too offensive! haha. I showed Wally and he seemed a little perturbed.

Dear Santa Jordan from Chicago,

I got your package like three weeks ago. I haven't listened to any of the music or read any of the comics yet but it's all super cool. Thanks!

Glad you liked it, Dave! You're very welcome!

Also, just so you know, that's not ANY bullet - but it's a Four Lions promotional USB drive. And make sure to look inside!

Got confirmation a couple of days ago that my Santee got the package and enjoyed the contents. Mission accomplished.

Enjoyed this a lot. FoTs are the best. Count me in next year.

I got back into town today after having spent Christmas with my parents, and lo and behold, my Secret Santa had swung by and left me a gift! And not just any old gift - one of the the best albums of the year, Seu Jorge and Almaz, on brand new vinyl! How awesome is that? Thanks a lot, Santa aka Gilly!

[Gilly]

I'm glad you like it! Better yet, I'm glad it's already there! Amazon said it wouldn't get there until Jan. 20th even though I ordered it on Dec. 10th. First time I've ever shipped something internationally so I didn't know what to expect.

[Martin]

Actually, the elves had told me about the delay, so I didn't expect it this early either! All the more fun!

I love the elves.

Glad this worked out so well for you both.
Happy new year,

According to usps tracking my gift made it to my giftee a few days ago.  But can I get primary confirmation?  I am prone to worrying.

[JimmyNoodles]

Wow, cool shirt! I wonder if anyone's registered that email...

Anyhoodle, I got my gifts a couple of days ago! I received a very sweet note, a cool mug from Reckless Records, an of Montreal cassette (which includes mp3/FLAC downloads!), and a Todd Barry CD... which was autographed just for me! Thanks, Santa JimmyNoodles!

PS: I hope my little elf got her presents...

Glad you got your gifts without any trouble!  Todd Barry recognized your name when I asked for the autograph, so I thought that was pretty cool. 

In other news, I'm still checking my mailbox every day for my package, hope nothing happened to it.

Some people have been checking their mailbox for YEARS.



(Look for a message from the elves)

I've been MIA from the board for a while, but wanted to echo my previous sentiments, that Jason crushed it with his gift.  And hopefully my package which was unfortunately delayed on it's way out, will reach it's destination soon.

OMGOMGOMG!

I was starting to fret b/c the mail has been totally screwed up by the blizzard, but I got an exotic package today all the way from Europe Sweden! There are instructions to dl something while I open it, so I'm going to wait till I get home b/c my work computer is worthless crap. More to come!

Thank you so much Martin!
