DevO Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hello all! I don't know if there's already been a thread like this or not but here goes... BIG HUGE PROPS to guigsy for hooking me up with the coolest gift of the season!!!! I got a beautifully binded book/photo album, 20+ pages, on Evolve 5 featuring all original photography from guigsy himself, and on top of THAT he sent me 7 discs of live sets from Evolve to correspond with the pics!!! Guigs the prints look amazing and the whole package blew me away. Thank you!! :: Kind of puts my gift for Stapes to shame.. :o All my broke ass could muster up was a whack of Kev's Cuts and cd covers for them. So, what did everyone get??? Thanks to dancingbear for putting this exchange together too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 There was no mystery because Booche and I always exchange gifts at Christmas. Here's what he got for me: two photos - one of a live centre stage shot of Phish and the other of Dickey Betts jamming with moe. and Mike Gordon. Great pics. He also got me this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 :: awesome!!! really glad you liked it so much, man... was starting to wonder if it made it there or not, hahaha.. i tried to do as many as i could that werent on my site... i think about half, or 60% havent been seen before... except to people i showed it off to before i sent it. hahaha. pretty sure it was your first evolve (no?), so i thought a time capsule of sorts would be cool... i'll get those other shows out to you as soon as i can get them... i know they're out there. edit: still checkin' the mail for my mystery gift... but i'll post when it arrives.

Ms.Huxtable Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Yes, thanks so much Dancingbear for organizing this exchange. It was a good experience for everyone I've heard from. I was the lucky recipient of a handmade head band and this: What a great book. I threw the CD on and flipped threw Jerry's art. Magic. I still have no idea if my gift arrived to it's intended recipient. If anyone has any news on this, let me know okay? Me worry. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 As I already posted, I received an excellent book about "painting cats". [color:"purple"]As a result, all the cats in my neighbourhood have now been painted and look like various reptiles. My favourite is the large siamese that is frightening local school children, as he now looks like a komodo dragon. Although my Secret Skanc refuses to divulge his/her identity, I would like to take this opportunity to send my thank you, anyway, to a particular old man residing in Ottawa, who I suspect is behind this. He is welcome to assume ownership over this gift, or continue to allow it to be anonymous. (If I am wrong, and the gift originated elsewhere from a different Skanc, then please consider yourself thanked.) Either way, this Skanc Exchange was a great idea, and DancingBear deserves huge compliments for putting this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks Fari Sari. Am I ever glad it arrived. thanks to whomever delivered it. I don't really share my paintings with anyone. I just paint for myself, but I wanted to give something homemade and that was all I could think of. So Fari Sari, you're one of only two other people that have one of my paintings. Kevo, it's acrylic on canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 i'm with you bradm. I think a our names got picked for a couple of lazy wooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Thanks to MattyC for being (at least) the deliveryjambandfan. The gift is just (OK, more than) what I wanted. I hope my Secret Santa can appreciate how much it (both sides) means to me. And it was worth the wait; I think receiving that particular gift some other way, like in the mail, or outside of the context of a nero show, wouldn't've been nearly as good. And Happy Hallowe'en! Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickler Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I got 5 great live shows! Wilco, Azuirs Aurum, Shane Simpson and paul boudreau, Vernon reid & Masque and the John Henry's! I love new music, thank you. Thanks to whoever sent them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
