Also, my gift is sent. Hope my Ledgie likes it!

Holy bejesus, he sent you the Tango pop-up? I remember missing out on one of those on eBay a couple of years ago and haven't seen one since. That is AWESOME.

Dude, you rock. And not just a little.

Official Note - I know a couple of people are still waiting on delivery, so I'm going to ask anyone that hasn't received their gifts to sit tight for a few more days, and then we'll reassess to see where everyone is.

But thank you SO much to everyone that participated. You have no idea how happy it's made me that this has gone so well, and everyone's gifts have been so lovely and thoughtful.

I'd like to keep doing things like this, if you guys would like to keep participating. It won't always be an actual gift exchange - I've mentioned before I'd really like to do a card exchange for Valentine's Day, for example - and I think it's a fun thing to do, but more importantly, it gives each of us a tangible way to connect with other fans. Sounds cheesy, I know, but whatever: so many of us love this band so much, and it's a huge part of our identities, but it's rare for many of us to have actual contact with other people that actually understand...especially some of our younger members that didn't get to experience the Mac in their heyday, didn't get to go to that awesome show on the Tusk tour, wasn't there to pick up a copy of Mirage or Tango when it came out, and have to spend all day with peers that don't "get it," etc. We can all come here and chit-chat and that's a wonderful thing, but we don't always have someone to physically hang out with. I feel like this is a good way to make the fandom a little more physical.

Of course, I'd really love to one day organize a fan con so we can all hang out and bang on tambourines and squawk over Stevie & Lindsey glaring at each other while we watch concerts on a ginormous TV and re-enact that fateful evening Lindsey kicked Stevie in the ass on stage so we'll have the next best thing to actual video of the event and have a Mick Fleetwood Scary Face Impersonation Contest and whatnot, but until then, this is pretty good, too.
