Thank you Megan of Chicago (formerly Brooklyn).  Sorry about giving the system the wrong zip code, but it's nice to have presents on my first day back at the office.

[Andy]

Thank you to Ben for the best secret santa gifts ever.

Rock Bible
Found Footage DVD
and (our favorite of all):
Oblique Strategies.  I had never heard of this before and the wife and i have been having a lot of fun pursuing it and contemplating use.

[ben]

I am so happy you got it!  And even happier you liked it.  Or at least that you are pretending to like it.

Has my Santee not received anything yet?! I mailed it on, like, the 21st!

It was heading for Brooklyn but still ... that's a long time, no?

[Martin]

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!

Oh shoot, I almost missed this! That's great that you finally got it, I was beginning to worry.

And don't thank me before you've opened it!

Sending a special thanks to my Secret Santa, senorcorazon, for an amazing calendar he made for 2011, and the better than golden ticket to the Patton Oswalt Book event at the Warsaw, which includes the new book.  I will post a photo as soon as I figure out how. 
I, also, want to thank the Secret Santa organizer and Elves for putting the spirit back into Christmas for FOT's everywhere!

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 got it, I hope you enjoy. I know it's not quite as exciting as some of these others, but I did my best.

[pete]

Got mine today!

- A sweet-ass comic book. Holy bitchin' hell!

- A Best Show comp on CD, to be listened to tomorrow after I get home from family torture Christmas

- delicious-seeming recipes. Guacamole & biscuits. Yes.

- uh, a 'Girl, Interrupted' sealed DVD I'm sure to bust out when I'm bored, hammered & have nothing else to watch.

PERFECT!!!!

Thanks to a "Pete" person!

Super-duper rad & reassurance as to why I do this every year ...

you're welcome!  I'm glad you liked it!

I would like to officially thank scratchbomb for my awesome gift!  The book is great. The photography inside is amazing, and I'm looking forward to reading it, my fiancee loves it as well.  I don't have an actual photo, but here is the book in case anybody would like to check it out.


Also, I received some crazily delicious pumpkin seed brittle, a delicacy which I've never tasted. The sweets did not last very long in my apartment, despite my efforts to ration them out.  I almost wish I never tasted it because I don't know where to buy something similar and now I'm craving it.

Thanks again!

This books looks incredible -thanks for sharing. I'm going to go pick it up. As usual, scratchbomb has impeccable taste.

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.

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