Kirk does one devil of a job, so hats off to him (friends) for him doing it (SS) again this year. There are a multitude of tasks involved with this endeavor, and he does them worthy. Kudos Kirk......
Which brings to mind a song.......not seasonal, but somewhat appropriate (appropriation?). You guys judge. I connect many things to many things.......
Funny thing.....I always associated that song with the 'Pueblo Incident'. You young'uns that don't know what I'm talkin' about have the 'google thingy friend.....
& @green18 is right; I'm remiss in not saying "Here, Here Kirk" He does a great job & I personally want to thank him for including us non-US folks; I know it's an extra PitA that he doesn't have to put up with so I really appreciate the work involved.
Are we supposed to have received an address or confirmation we're in yet? I sent a pm October 22nd and haven't received any confirmation or a giftee?
I assume you realize that's a cover band and not the real GFR, right? Side note: I attended two Grand Funk concerts in my youth (back in the day when rock bands competed to see who could play the loudest, with cavalier disregard for the well-being of their audiences). Each time, my ears rang for about three days afterwards. I'm convinced that's responsible for the minor hearing loss I suffer from today. Well that, and Led Zeppelin, the Who, the Kinks, the Dead, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers, and countless hours with the headphones turned up to 11.
So it was you! I did acknowledge receiving it in last year's thread but regrettably never got the chance to post a picture. I sincerely apologize for keeping you wondering. It is beautiful and I hadn't had one of my own yet, but had been searching. PM sent. I'm in again this year.
Well according to his profile @Kirkuleez was last here on 11/11. Has anyone at all received a giftee yet so far this year? I hope everything's Ok with Kirk, although sign up does say until 12/5 it also says matches would be paired weekly. If we don't hear anything in a week it would probably be best to develop an alternative plan.
Many people will need to buy a gift once they find out who they have, and that involves waiting for it to be shipped to them before they can then mail it out. There's still time, but it's getting kind of late.
We have a very nice coin show here on 12/4--I was hoping it would be in the works before then so I'd have the best choice.
Agreed but I figured that if Kirk was just busy that perhaps he'd have some time off next week with the holiday and could catch on things then.
Hey guys, sorry for the delay. Ive been really busy lately. I'll get all caught up taking everyone in this weekend and will start sending out matches as soon as I can.
