Sunndrug is really really really awesome. Can't wait to spend all my money on this. And to our overseas friends hurting over shipping costs, i would be more than happy to help if i could save you some money, but looks like it would be pretty much the same, at least for Belgium sorry. I tried.

@Youinreverse @seangj @backpackoat @ianmonsta @ajhall04 @scottheisel @cesar11 @hxcoliver please post your 'About Me' you're all currently on Santa's naughty list

oooh im in! i skipped this in past years because i couldnt commit to the full 30 days but 13 should be much more doable. although i will have to watch the last few before i leave for fest.

hi hi hello. i’m lauren. i live in brooklyn and will be turning 31 the day before halloween (naturally this means that i enjoy all spooky things and horror films). definitely looking forward to celebrating my birthday at fest this year! i work in the media industry where typically do photo and designy things. music: my music tastes are pretty all over the place and i tend to like at least a little bit of everything, from quebecois folk music to synthy dance jams to punk to country. i do love me some country. 90s/2000s punk, emo, ska, and hardcore will always have a huge spot in my heart since that’s what i grew up on. i love anything bob nanna, blake schwarzenbach, or greg graffin-related. i’m pretty terrible at picking favorites but i’d probably have to say that Bad Religion is my number one. i also have a major soft spot for musicians' solo/side projects, especially when it's a totally different genre than the music they're typically known for and bonus points if said side project is alt country (ex: mike herrera - tumbledown, jim ward - sleepercar, jeremy chatelain - cub country, chad price - drag the river, mariachi el bronx, brett detar, nick 13, etc etc). i’m pretty open to most music. the only place where i get super picky is when it comes to bands with female singers. not sure why, but i just can’t get into most female singers. i generally keep my deadformat up to date, so it's a pretty accurate representation of what i have and what i like. i do have a want list on discogs, but it’s kind of a hot mess that only makes sense to me haha. i tend to just dump tons of stuff on it and never wind up taking anything off, even after buying it. the bulk of what’s on there is just duplicates/other pressings/variants of things i already own or random things i throw on there that i might grab if they ever popped up for super cheap, but not things i’m actively seeking out. there are still a ton of things on there i do want if that’s helpful information for you to have, but i’d be just as happy with something you love that i’ve never heard of. movies/tv: horror, comedies, jeunet, aronofsky, lynch, random music docs, cheesy lifetime/hallmark movies, crime shows (pretty much everything on ID), law & order SVU (i’ve seen every single episode. more than once.), orphan black, lost girl, skins, a bunch more things i’m too tired to think of right now. books: i read pretty much every day on the subway when i commute to work. lately mostly fiction or music/pop culture related books. some of my favorite books include Love is a Mixtape by Rob Sheffield, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, and The Great Gatsby. currently reading Tommy Land and it is actually way better than expected. other random things i enjoy: zombies, david hasselhoff, bacon, football, hockey, canadian football, beer, narwhals, my SNES, baking, tattoos and traditional tattoo art. i also love cats. i have one. his name is jäger. he's pretty damn awesome. like most people, i love to travel and am trying to make a point of doing more of it. in the last 12 months, i actually traveled more than i probably have in the last 12 years, including some pretty epic trips to Australia, Mexico City, and a very spontaneous last minute adventure in Texas. on almost all of my trips, i was lucky enough to get to meet up with some pretty awesome VC people, from record shopping and drinking beers with an Aussie VCer in Sydney to chowing down on some BBQ with our other fearless Secret Santa Leader, Mike, in Austin. also like most people, i love to go to shows and usually go to at least one a week. other random things i collect: random david hasselhoff stuff, art prints & gig posters, way too many band shirts, random small toys, lego minifigs, and knick knacks that guard my record collection. for further stalking/research purposes, my instagram lives here: http://instagram.com/themeconspiracy if you need to know anything else feel free to have someone ask me

excited to see some pics on here soon!

Also. Regarding a couple peeps from the list on the first page who still need vouching...i know Billy and Brock both said they'd vouch for kingtacomunster and i third this! I can also vouch for chkadea if need be.

I can vouch for James. Feel free to put him on my team, Mike!

last chance! sign up now. avoid future regret and sadness! don't miss out and let this be you come christmas time:

It's okay. I'll probably moving there soon

It's basically asking if you're willing to send to Canada

I might! How much are you looking to get for it?

Deadformat or discogs are good places to start. Or you could just make a spreadsheet in Google docs. Don't need to get super fancy.

Yup! Required. And no time like the present to make one!

Ain't no party like a secret santa party!

I've dealt with this guy before and will vouch. Don't let me down, Ollie!

Hahahaha awww love you, boo!

Dear Bret's future Santa, He's been telling me for months that all he really wants for Xmas this year is a nice bulk supply of coal for his bbq. Please don't let him down.

In as always! Def my favorite part of the year. Looking forward to putting on my Santa hat and helping Mike organize and spread the vc holiday cheer again this year!

Would also buy.

I'll probably take that nanna

And they will become...record bowls when my body finally goes.

How about next person to post a nearly complete MOMR collection on instagram gets a test?
