i never saw a photo.... so i just assumed you didn't post. Did i miss it? what page was it on?

I have 2 people on my list that haven't posted.. Not sure if Lauren's people are who haven't posted, but i think everyone's been shipped now.. maybe my person didn't like his/her gift. bummer.

yours is on it's way..

I'm gonna be looking for stuff as well in Denver.. but i'm moving there at the end of the month. Can't wait for the cold weather.. so looking forward to it.

Ok, it's 2017 Folks.. start showing those pics.

ok guys, lets see some pics....

Ok people, you might want to start posting your pics... c'mon!!!!

So yesterday I got a package.. All i can say is thank you.. I loved it.. I received several 7"s, and a CD. 2 band i never heard, but i enjoy local bands from other cities, so that's a plus. Will be listening to them shortly. I also received a ICARE for vaping. Which couldn't come at a better time. We ran out at work before i could buy one, so i'll be using mine shortly as soon as i can get a higher concentration of nicotine juices (today got some berry lemonade) I also received some chocolate brittle but that didn't last more than 10 minutes. how anyone can know i loved that stuff like crack is beyond me because i never listed it. It was literally opened and was eating it as i checked out the stuff inside the box. Stuff was so good. So from the bottom of my cold dead heart... THANK YOU!!!! Thanks Ianmonsta!!!! I really appreciate it!!!!

Hey people. nice to see a bunch of you old fucks.. hEY YU!!!! hope you are doing well. I can't believe i've been a part of this shitshow for this long.

or you could just tell us now.

People, if you haven't posted an ABOUT ME page.. please do so this week. Thanks!

Ok, here''s mine: Hi, my name is mike. I'm old. I enjoy TV shows. Favorite recent shows are The Goldbergs, Blackish, Gotham, and The Voice. I'm a big Law & Order junkie. I've been keeping up with SVU since it started (yes that long). Criminal Intent is my least favorite, but still great. Favorite movies are Caddyshack, Coming to America, Monty Python & The Holy Grail, and Ladies Man. I quote them regularly. I enjoy football and music. Music, i'm all over the place. I buy records of all kinds. But mostly punk and metal. Favorite band is Boston, but Elvis Costello and The Replacements are my alternatives. I play guitar and am a fan of Orange amplifiers. I collect memorabilia from everything listed above. I rarely read anymore, but still avidly enjoy Bukowski. Personally, i'm a quirky dude, i like stupid humor and like buying quirky stuff (mass murderer cards/band pins/movie memorabilia and art). If you need any more info, have someone else ask me. I have a disheveled mess of things i enjoy. hope this helps mike

I'll be in town tues the 25th. i get in around 9am and will be looking to do something. i'm still trying to figure out wirere to go when i get out of the airport since not sure of anything or how far the airport is from ATL. and from there take an uber or something somewhere till a vape shop opens or what not. I know i have lunch with a buddy around noon, but after that i'm open to hit up the claremont for a bit.. not too long.. don't have a ton of money to spend. would rather eat somewhere or buy records..

i plan on going for a bit during the day.. if you've been there, do you mind going with me. i could use a local to go with.. and i'll grab wings after.

Hey guys/gals. still waiting on peoples info.. if i don't get it by tomorrow they will be dropped and i'll get your info by tues or wed tops.. sorry about the hold up. - mike

.

so no fest. i'll be in ATL the day before PRE FEST doing a whole lot of nothing.. someone recommended i go to the CLARmont for a few ... i want to hit up vape shops too while i'm there, and maybe a record store or two.

Lauren's vouching for everyone.. lol. i don't know any of you. and i do this thing every year.. i'm such a recluse. only one more vouch and a address change and we'll start PMing everyone. also, if anyone is up for friending me on Facebook so they could get ahold of me easier..name is "Mike Ctb Santos" on Facebook. my pic is an eye.

Guys, the list is upon us.. i need a few of you to PM me with the info so i can start sending people their secret santa info. Thanks

we'll let you know if so...

and it's closed.. man, it was a small group this year.. makes it easier to get ahold of people. i'll start contacting people this week once i divide everyone up amongst us both.. thanks for participating..

When you send your package we need a confirmation # to prove you sent packages..

Also, guys, lets not start doing the "ABOUT ME" posts till after the secret santa sign up is closed. ALSO IF YOU ARE VOUCHING for someone make sure you POST in here that you are vouching..

The floodgates are open people....

Sept 21, 2016 The list for this year is on the bottom. If you have anything next to your name, please follow those instructions.. thanks. VC Secret Santa 2016 Rules Your Moderators will be Mike D. (controlthebleeding) & Lauren (themeconspiracy) Any questions regarding the sign up go to me initially. after we've stopped, then you'll contact the moderator that PM's. if they're basic questions, either one of us can help. 1. Everyone interested in participating must sign up via link: • Full Name (that means first and last at least) • Address (please place on one line only and not on three.) • Avatar name and original name registered under (your login name when logging into the board, this issue comes up every year because people switch names a lot and often, myself included, started my account with a different name…and when trying to track somebody down it can be impossible to find them) • (if you participated last year) the person you had last time, if you remember (to give you somebody new to buy for!). • The link to your trade list. (if it's a google spreadsheet, please make shareable) • Size of shirt just in case they have clothing in mind • If you’re willing to ship between USA and Canada,…(this will probably drastically increase your monetary involvement somewhat, no skimping on the gift value if you spending most of the agreed amount on postage, only agree to do this is you can afford to do it.). Also, overseas people are SOL this year unless you get someone in your area to sign up. The shipping overseas from the states has gotten way to expensive and it's not fair to anyone to have to pay say $50 to ship a package. • Please enter any other contact info so if we need to contact you besides VC we can. (Ex: Facebook, instagram, email, etc etc) • Send this info by the end of the day (wherever you are) Sept 18, 2015. This will be the cut off date unless we have an odd person and from there we’ll accept requests to take the missing spot. • Wait for confirmation (there will be a list underneath the rules and will be corrected daily) below is the preferred format i would ask of you all as it's going into a excel sheet: Name: Efrain Jordaci Address: 2495 rockford lane, fleetwood mac, fl 95857 USA Avatar/screen name/og screen name: riffrafff2 (aka slimeball 2) tradelist: googleblahblahblah393848i$@@@@@ shirt size: L Yes, i'm willing/No i'm not up to sending overseas This is my first year doing secret santa.: Yes/no If no, who was your recipient last year?: Juan blah blah blah IF yes, please list your vouching member. (Vouching members must have at least participated in one other Secret Santa or have positive trading feedback) Please list any other contact info so if we need to contact you: email, Facebook, instagram grinder, etc etc. 2. Buy a gift for the person you get spending no less than $20 and no more than ????. THere isn't a cap for gifts. These gifts can be vinyl, music related or just rad things you think they’ll like. It can be a few small things or one big thing, whatever. Don't send anything gross or crude (NO PORN, unless you know the person loves porn). If you don't know what your person likes, look up some of their posts and use what you've learned about them from this board as a guide. If you have questions ask around, or we'll ask for you. If you want to participate, you probably need to have a trade list; post the link in your signature so that your Secret Santa can get ideas of what to buy and what not to buy for you. 4. Pack up and send out your gift no later than November 8th. Unless you specify that you’ll agree to send packages to other countries, we’ll try to keep people to mailing within their own country, as easy cheap delivery confirmations don’t work for the USPS’s international Mail…but there are more deluxe forms of tracking, but all of them raise the price considerably for international mail. Pick the type of shipping most appropriate or affordable(in the US please remember media mail can ONLY be used for audio recorded material, books, video recordings on whatever format, ie: this is media, breaking this rule could cause your box, should it be inspected to be deemed mail fraud and not delivered, and if you’re lucky returned to sender, but most likely will be thrown away!). This is assuming that all people outside the US will use their countries equivalent delivery confirmation tracking information. • And this is very important: ALL PACKAGES ARE TO BE SENT WITH SOME SORT OF CONFIRMATION OR TRACKING. NO EXCUSES. Send the tracking information to your Secret Santa Moderator once your package has been sent (that means you fuckers that doesn't follow rules), so we have a idea of who is sending what and when, also save your receipts just in case!!!! Everyone please use my address as the return address. Please be sure to put VC Secret Santa, ATT: Mike D., 2006 Rockland Drive, Austin, TX 78748. 5. This year is same as last year. This year please include 1 or several (you choose) cd mixes with music you think said person might like. Hell send them music they might not have even heard. You never know. they might be turned on to something totally new they never even thought of listening to. Also include with the gift a piece of paper with three hints about who you are. It can be anything you want, your hometown, your favorite band, something anyone familiar with the board could figure out. Or, be vague…this is part of the fun! 6. When you receive your gift: • post what you got in this the main thread and guess who sent it to you. • PM your Secret Santa Moderator that you received your gift so we can mark you off our list. It takes a minute. This is a must. I don't want to have to be PMing people daily to see if they received their gifts. Once its been noted, please, please say THANK YOU. There's nothing more thoughtless than not at least giving a “thank you.” It's rude to say the least! 7. If you don't receive your gift by December 7th, PM your moderator (me) AND post in the main thread (do not create a new thread) This means there has been a full month of allotted shipping time. We'll find a way to punish that person. If it arrives after that, we'll forgive them. 8. If you don't like what you got, feel free to swap with someone else, re-gift or sell the item in secret. Please don't complain even if you didnt like the gift. it's the thought that counts. right? 9. On Jan. 1 (or shortly thereafter) we will reveal who everyone's Secret Santa was. 10. All new Boardies. Rather than completely disqualify you from participating, we need you to go through a few extra hoops in order to participate. All new board members (aka if you have less than 1000 posts, less than a year old, or have never participated in Secret Santa) are required, after all initial info is entered, to send first. and have a shipping date a little over a week shorter (NOV 1) than regular members. This is for good reason. We ask this so there's a less likely chance of anyone getting ripped off. Secondly, we ask this so your package arrives in a timely manner because once your package as been confirmed upon arrival (again, please send with confirm so we can track it) by your recipient, we will then allow your Secret Santa to send your gift. Hope you understand. *= not including those who deleted their accounts and re-joined, were part of last years Secret Santa gift exchange, or are longtime members but don't post often (again, we know who you are). 11. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE YOUR SCREEN NAME! It's a pain in the ass to try to find someone halfway during this thing if they change their name. Please wait if you can. **Note to any future Secret Santa’s from overseas. We must have 2 of Secret Santas across the pond or in your area. There will be no overseas shipping anymore. Please remember to note that in your initial email/PM so we put people together in this instance. Be aware you might not be able to join. Last year someone had to spend $50 just to send said gifts, so please understand if we can't include you in the festivities. Our apologies. ***I also ask, once this starts rolling to have everyone hide who their recipient is until after everyone has received their gifts and figured out their Secret Santa or till we announce the list... it makes it more confusing and fun This list of rules is not set in stone, feel free to make more suggestions and we'll alter it accordingly. This can be really fun if everyone holds up their end of the bargain. Thanks everyone. Mike D.
