Secret Glisanta Gift Exchange Party! IF YOU MISSED THE PARTY OR DID NOT RECEIVE A GIFT, PLEASE READ!!!

I'm sure you are all massively sick of seeing this thread, and I apologize - it'll die soon ;) However, there were some people who 1) did not come to the party or 2) did not receive a gift when they came. If this happened to you: we have your gift (or a replacement gift) SO, please stop by my house (2110 Tonga Trips quarter) to receive it. Please note: you have until 10:00 PM EST Thursday night (that's 30 hours from now) to pick it up...after this, your gift will be unavailable to you. We're sorry about this, but we have to have limits.

If you're on this list, we have your gift. If you aren't, but you didn't get one, that means your gifter was a slacker and didn't send it in - but you can stop by anyway to pick up a replacement. And please be honest about whether or not you received one ;)

This thread was previously:

It is not Christmas. Actually, it is not any holiday. Of any sort. Whatsoever.

HOWEVER. Next test, whenever that should be, I will be holding a Secret Glisanta gift exchange! 

Basically, the way it works is this. If you want to partake (meaning you will give and receive a gift) simply post in this thread, saying so (and please, to the extent that you can, it would be great if all sign-ups could be put in here, rather than in IM or mail) and I will frogmail you the profile link and name of your gift receiver (don't worry if it takes a few days, I'd like to get a general idea of attendance size before I start assigning people). If you have a strong objection to your giftee, let me know and I'll consider reassignment (I say consider because this will be pretty complicated as it is and I'll probably only switch things around if absolutely necessary). Once you've purchased/made your gift, mail it to me. I'll keep track of what's going to who, and hand them out at the party. I realize this takes a certain amount of trust, but I promise to take very good care of the gifts :)

Then, next test, we'll have the gifting ceremony, and an after-party at my house. I'll hand out the gifts, and the giver can announce themselves (if present). If you're unavailable, just let me know. I'll present the gift with your name and any message you want conveyed.

There's no cap on how expensive the gift is. However, while I can't enforce this, it would be nice if the gifts could be more valuable than say, a bean ;)

Since I don't know the date of next test, we'll say the party will be in a week and 2 days (26 August), assuming we're testing then. If not, we'll reschedule, but plan on that date. ALSO, the deadline for signing up is the 21st.

Thanks! :)

ETA: Inspiration creds go to Zany Serendipity :)

  • UPDATE: Due to conflicting events in RL, we'll be unable to have it on the 23rd. HOWEVER, provided we're testing then, we can have it on the 26th. That is a likely date; plan on that unless I announce otherwise.

    Thanks, and see you then!

  • I'm sorry :'( I really wish I could let you in, cuz I feel bad about the people who didn't see it before and want to do it, but then I'd have to let everyone in, and this is really hard to organize, and I can't. Sorry :(

  • When I posted above ^, it was still 8/21 in the Glitch HQ timezone.
    Posted 16 months ago by Eleanor Rigby Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If this goes well, perhaps it could be done again, so more/other people could participate. Not that Cupcake would have to do it... but someone could.

  • Cupcake, if we need to give you an item in person, how can we find you?
    Posted 16 months ago by Saro Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I need to give you the gift in person too. In case we don't run into each other online before the party, is there anyone else I can send the gift through?
    Posted 16 months ago by Xacau Feera Blin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Cupcake, I also need to give you the gift and probably won't be online during the party (what time is it?)

  • I'm in, Cupcake.  I just have one question: is a glisanta similar to a glissando?
    Posted 16 months ago by Tofu Casserole Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Guillermo - we already did it, sorry! I just bumped this thread to share new information about picking up gifts for those who didn't receive one at the party last test :)
    Posted 16 months ago by Cupcake Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I sent you a gift for my person AND you forgot to add me to the list of people who didn't attend the party.
    Posted 16 months ago by Sayuri Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you very much Cupcake and thank you also to my secret Glisanta for the lovely gifts! :D
    Posted 16 months ago by Ebil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sayuri, like I said, if you're not the list, it means you're gifter didn't send anything in, sadly...however, you can still pick up a replacement :)
    Posted 16 months ago by Cupcake Subscriber! | Permalink
  • thanks Cupcake for my gnomie!!!
    Posted 16 months ago by Sayuri Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks cupcake for organizing this. Please add me please :)
    Posted 16 months ago by gia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I sent you a gift for my person and did not get to the party. My name is not up there to receive one, but I really don't mind, as I read that you were having to provide them yourself. It was a nice idea, and thank you, but don't worry about getting me a gift. I really don't need anything!
    Posted 16 months ago by marycontrary Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Count me in!
    Posted 16 months ago by Roachy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • BUMP!
    I bet I'm not the only one who spent a lot of time figuring out what to give/making things and who has been anxiously awaiting their giftee's reaction ever since!
    Posted 16 months ago by Indica Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i want one! :'(
    Posted 16 months ago by jenderal.cilik Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm so bummed, I put together a well thought out time consuming 16 slot "party bag" and my giftee didn't get it!
    Posted 16 months ago by Laurali Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh yes he did :) He's on the list up there, and came by my house a couple hours ago. :D
    Posted 16 months ago by Cupcake Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, I love, love, love my secret gift from such a sweet glitchy!  Thank you so much for my lovely gift!  I'll be mailing you soon to thank you.

    And thank you, Cupcake, and anyone else that organized and managed this happy, wonderful event!  All your time, effort, energy, coordination, etc., is much appreciated! :-)
