Forum Holiday Party 12/22

[Sir HC]

But given that in this case many people would not be excited by many of the CDs it would be harder for the huge fight to come about.  I could see everyone in the end taking their own gift home as they got something they would love to have themselves.

ed said that chips and salsa might be on the menu and the side door will be used to gain entry to the backbar. [/b]

No leftover chilidogs?

the chinese auction format sounds fun... who wants to set the guidelines.  one new cd? book? dvd? set a dollar limit and have the option to go trolling for used stuff?

[Sir HC]

How about the standards of $5 - $20.  I was thinking of a stack of 10 dollar CDs...Or a copy of a favorite book or two (undogeared).

it's nice to have gifts someone would actually like with a few gag ones thrown in for fun, just to make it more interesting. maybe between 5 - 20 bucks, so the range would be pretty good. what a fun idea!!
 
 ...now i really wish i could make it    too bad i won't be there... booo

[kosmo vinyl]

bummer i was hoping to finally meet you... are you planning on either wsc or the carlsonics?

[Bags]

Hey Kosmo, I'm missing the gathering, but will be at both WSC and Carlsonics (if there are people in town going!).  Have no idea what I'm wearing because I may not get home to change after work....  If Lulu, Mark, Pollard are there, they can piont me out.

This could be worth the price of admission... Guess I'd better bring along "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" and "Whats So Funny about Peace Love and Understanding"

OK, I'll make the call here, the Rules of our Secret Santa. $10 worth of music, doesn't matter if its one disc or ten, but keep it all together. We draw numbers and first person takes a gift. The second person can either pick another gift at random, or just take a gift from one of the prior people's selections, causing the prior selctee to pick another gift. This goes on till the last person picks, and everyone is happy, or not.
 
 Board members and guests can participate, but you have to bring the $10 worth of merchandise, or else you're just watching. One side note, we should make as much of an effort as we can to avoid getting someone stuck with something they already have, perhaps by trading off at the end of the affair. But knowing this group, it would scare me if I saw more than a CD or two I own.
 
 Does this work for everyone? It's only $10.
 
 I know Paige, Bagster, and flawd aren't coming, but is mostly everyone else coming? 20 to 30 folks, including guests?

[kosmo vinyl]

$10 is a great guideline... However I think it shouldn't be limited to just cds,  books, dvd should be options as well.  i'm also thinking that it might be fun for people to offer white elephants or be able to do regifting.  as long as those are around $10 in value as well.

[sonickteam2]

[flawd101]

[kurosawa-b/w]

Yeah, roughly when will the gift exchange take place? I won't get there until a little later.
