    Thank you to the mysterious Jack Cameron for my gift! Already listened to (and ripped to iTunes - on my 'Sunday Session' and 'BluesnRoots' playlists) the Ranger Spacey eps and will give the immortality/rearviewmirror 7 inch a spin after I put the kids to bed and pour my hubby and I a drink. Thank you so much for the thoughtful gift :)

    No problem, Moretonbayfig! - hope you enjoyed the present! I went out on a limb there by sending you some EPs by my band, however, I thought Perth doesn't get enough unsigned Sydney bands. Sorry if it's not what you wanted... I'm the drummer in the band, so please call me Bev.

    As for the 7" single of Immortality, I feel that this is one of Eddie's strongest songs ever written. This always makes me feel amazing when I hear it (especially Mike's solo) and I always fall away into a place where I feel safe.

    Hope you have an amazing Christmas, keep safe and remember to wear sunscreen!

    Thank you again Bev - it's great! I'm enjoying the EPs - thought you may have seen that I love Paul Kelly, JBT etc. and took a punt. Thanks for sharing your band with me - I love the narrative and vibe... very summery and makes me thirsty for a beer! You did very well on the gift mate :) Enjoy the festive season... and don't worry about me I'm wearing the SPF30+ slap 24/7! Mel x

    Glad you liked the recipe book and Not for You vinyl, Red PJ. I'm a chef myself so thought it would be something a little different to try. Welsh cuisine is really easy though!!!

    Received my awesome gift this week and feel terrible about what I sent after receiving it. I panicked and thought we were supposed to have them sent by 11/24, so since I was on crutches did the easy thing and ordered a gift card. Ugh. Now I think my email meant 12/24 and I could have taken some time and done some investigating! I am sorry Jennifer PJ-but next year, ya'll look out. And Dawn gives the best gifts!!!!

    My SS gift arrived and it couldn't have been more perfectly timed!

    As I am sure many of you know, last week, EMEK had a lottery to sell his AP editions of his wonderful PJ poster from the Portland show. I entered the lottery and was notified that I did not get selected...I was pretty bummed.

    That is, until I opened my SS gift. It was the EMEK Portland Poster along with a few PJ stickers from the tour!!!
    Thank you SS for the great gift and Happy Holidays to all!

    Mine came in the mail this week. Couldn't wipe the grin off my face!!! As a geologist, my secret santa gifted me with a handful of great new rock specimens to add to my collection and a VERY awesome Xmas card. Thx SS - it made me smile so friggin much. You rock :lol:

    I was so happy to find another rocker.. ahem. I collect various types of Amethysts since my friend of that name died ten years back... and I live near Red Rock Canyon, so it was fun finding things JUST for someone who would know the Shist out of things. :)p

    Oh Chris, thank you very much.

    The Not For You single was perfectly timed!! I had an annoying flatmate who has recently just moved out... but I had been cranking the song from the NY '10 boot. its like you knew!!!

    Dimi passed on the message about my secret santa being delayed due to the discovery of NZ's strict rules re what can be sent here so no worries!! I look forward to whatever it is whenever it gets here!! :)

    I gave my work address as I don't have anywhere for the postie to leave things at home when I'm not there as I'm not during the day & our office is now closed for 2 weeks over Xmas/New Years so no secret santa for me until after 6th January anyway. It'll be a nice post-Xmas surprise!!

    Merry Christmas lead-up everyone!!
