[Brice]

The Whispers magazine I won I'd already bought earlier in the year. As happy as I am to have won, I'd prefer to see it go to a home where it's needed. First person to claim it owns it. Thank you to whoever the kind soul is who donated it.

[alinda]

Anyone who wishes to donate their prize to me should know
that I am a greedy old woman who takes her treasure seriously!!
Send all your gifts to me :P Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Matt]

Would you like Brice's copy of Whispers Alinda?

[alinda]

I want them all wouldnt you? If Sarah B offers the same deal
on the record...my answer is a resounding YOU BET! :D
One of the paintings, a signed SK book, hell this was my
only chance in life to have such a thing I'd say.

[Nerak]

If alinda doesn't want it, I do!! :rolleyes:


never mind, she must have posted at the same time I did! LOL

[Matt]

I want them all wouldnt you? If Sarah B offers the same deal
on the record...my answer is a resounding YOU BET! :D
One of the paintings, a signed SK book, hell this was my
only chance in life to have such a thing I'd say.

Yes, I would love them all :lol:

I don't suspect any of the others will come up but it looks like Brice really wants to give away Whispers.

So if you want it, you have first go. Otherwise, it looks like Karen would like it. :thumbsup:

[Brice]

If Sarah B offers the same deal
on the record...my answer is a resounding YOU BET! :D




I will venture a guess that she won't even post in the vicinity of THIS thread. :lol:

[Brice]

[quote=alinda;171159] but it looks like Brice really wants to give away Whispers.




Not so much wants to as it would be pointless to me to have two when someone else could enjoy one also.

[Matt]

Oh no Brice, I understand and I'm glad it can go to a good home.

I think its a wonderful thing and I would love to send it to whoever would like to have it.

[Brice]

Ok, Cool! :thumbsup: That's my hope too.

[alinda]

Well then thank you Brice, I will take very good care of it.
Matt, I am on the record here...Thanks for giving me a chance
to own any of this cool stuff, ok some I do own, some I could get
at WalMart, but I never ever dreamed of owning some of the gifts.
We have alot to be happy about here.Speaking of happy Matt
Happy Anniversary to you and many many more!

[Brice]

I hope you enjoy it Linda!

[alinda]

*pucker up Brice* :huglove: "thank you!"

[Matt]

Woohoo!! I am glad it found a home. :grouphug:

Thank you Linda, this has been a special journey for me.

[Brice]

*pucker up Brice* :huglove: "thank you!"


:huglove:

[alinda]

*pitches tent * Y'all dont mind if I just camp out in this line do ya? :rofl:

[Brice]

:rofl: You might fall asleep from that weed you got. :P

[Matt]

:lol:

Okay, that one is out of the way...who is next?

Its perfectly okay you guys, if you already have it or otherwise don't need it, the best thing we can do is give it to someone who would love it.

[alinda]

*shares weed* :rofl:

[alinda]

Whats this next shit? I'm not moving! :lol:

[Matt]

:lol:

I mean if anyone would like to re gift the prize they got. :couple:

They can go next

[Brice]

*shares weed* :rofl:

*mails a waterpipe and return postage so you can pack it*

[alinda]

*takes a toke, and waits for the letter carrier*
This may take a while...

[Brice]

*takes a toke, and waits for the letter carrier*
This may take a while...


....especially if we follow the stoner etiquette of puff, puff, pass. :lol:

[Disturbed Angel]

*Camps out next to Linda and wonders if the letter carrier goes to England* :lol:

[what]

I'll stand in line!

[Erin]

Ooops. Sorry Matt. I didn't see this thread before I PM'ed you earlier.

I'm giving my ARC copy of Lisey's Story to mia/susannah.

Would anyone like my DVD of The Green Mile? I have this already as well.

[mia/susannah]

I am standing in line with ALinda and Disturbed Angel, cannot get past us!!!

[Matt]

Looks like you got a little something there Mia :D

[John Blaze]

I WOULD LOVE YOUR Green Mile DVD. :D

[Matt]

Woohoo!!

I am so glad these can go out to people that can give them a good home. :grouphug:

[John Blaze]

i'm waiting to hear from someone, but i think I'll be giving away my SOS, as I already have 3 copies of it.

[Erin]

Yep, Matt, I'd like to give my copy of The Green Mile DVD to JohnBlaze. :D :D :D

[John Blaze]

ERIN SAID YES!!!!!

:clap:

[Matt]

Done is done

[alinda]

*looks around at the growing caravan of Dark Tower junkies,and smiles*
"Hey boss, we got a couple more tents right?" :lol:

[John Blaze]

sure, I can pitch a tent for you http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f179/BrunoBaca/rimshot.gif

[Matt]

Bruno!! :lol:

Don't corrupt our sweet Linda.

And I have hired all the space for miles around

[alinda]

:wub:

[John Blaze]

Bruno!! :lol:

Don't corrupt our sweet Linda.

And I have hired all the space for miles around

corrupt Linda, you mean the one who was just smoking weed?:D

besides, Lindapants, did you get the joke? I can pitch a tent for you?

[alinda]

:lol: :blush: thanks John, I get it.

By the way that weed joke may last some days folks...but believe me when I tell you "I never inhaled" " I am not a crook" and " I did not have intercourse with that congressional page" :lol:

DA, I happen to be sending a letter to London next week ;)

[oy-the-brave]

Matt I would like to give my 1st edition of Pet Semetary to Karen.

I already have a copy and it's special to me (The listing of The Gunslinger in the front of that book was how I originally found out about the Dark Tower).

Thanks Matt, and thanks to Jerome for your great donation.

[alinda]

This is fantastic, I love you guys !
Matt how you keeping track of all this?
Want me to make a list? :lol: After all
we wouldnt want you to mail the gifts
to the wrong place now would we? :lol:

[Matt]

Got it done Oy!

Thanks so much for doing that. And I'm really glad you guys are taking advantage of this, I love getting people what they want.

[John Blaze]

wow, extremely generous, Oy.

[Matt]

This is fantastic, I love you guys !
Matt how you keeping track of all this?
Want me to make a list? :lol: After all
we wouldnt want you to mail the gifts
to the wrong place now would we? :lol:

Funny you ask. I forgot I had offered to do this so me and Dora boxed up about 1/2 of them on Sunday. :panic:

But its together time and she already said she would help me fix them up. :dance:

[Darkthoughts]

i'm waiting to hear from someone, but i think I'll be giving away my SOS, as I already have 3 copies of it.

If you do - I can trade you for the UK edition, then you still have something to keep ;)

[LadyHitchhiker]

I don't know if someone said already, but if you wanted to send me your copy of SOS, I would take it off your hands JohnBlaze... :D

[LadyHitchhiker]

(will check own house to see if there's something worth giving since she sent a lot of books to Linda)

[alinda]

Don't forget they were books on magic Lizzy, :D

Ok... Matt I think you and Dora are the most adorable couple :wub:

[Patrick]

I won the following sweet prize which was originally donated by Jemaher. :thumbsup:

I already have a copy of this SIGNED/LIMITED book. In the spirit of our wonderful site, I would like to give it away. Only two rules:
1) You must be a registered member of TDT.com at the time of my posting this.
2) You must have entered the original drawing and NOT won a prize.
(Both to be confirmed by a Director.)
First come, first serve. Post in this thread. :dance:

Donated by jemaher
Written by: Bill Walker

About the Book: When journalist and aspiring war novelist Frank Murphy returns from the 10th Annual World War Convention, he has no idea that the mysterious videotape he holds in his hands will change his life forever. He has been handpicked to participate in a specialized experiment in mass psychology and a unique form of Living History: "Spend two weeks with three hundred other men in an authentic replica of a World War Two German POW Camp!" the tape says. "Come, and experience the thrill of a lifetime!"

[John Blaze]

i'm waiting to hear from someone, but i think I'll be giving away my SOS, as I already have 3 copies of it.

If you do - I can trade you for the UK edition, then you still have something to keep ;)

I'll pm you later.

Sorry ladyhitch, you got beat out. :(

[John Blaze]

Patrick, I'd like that! I don't have any of his writings. is he good?

[Patrick]

Patrick, I'd like that! I don't have any of his writings. is he good?
Did you win anything in the original drawing? (See #2)
If not, it's yours.

If so, then we'll see if any non-winner claims it. If no one does, it's yours.

[Rjeso]

ERIN SAID YES!!!!!

:clap:

I thought you were already married, dude. :P

[John Blaze]

lol
i did, sorry!

I'm an idiot.

[Ricky]

I donated to the fundraiser, but didn't win (Matt can confirm). If JohnBlaze previously won something, I wouldn't mind having it Patrick :)

[John Blaze]

ERIN SAID YES!!!!!

:clap:

I thought you were already married, dude. :P

I recently became a Mormon, you know, the cool ones with a bunch of wives who roll around in horse drawn buggies?




I'm just kidding, I know the difference between a mormon and a quaker, so don't flame me. And No, I don't think Polygamy is cool, I have a hard time handling one woman, how could I handle more? :scared:

[Matt]

Ricky was in and did not win. I can confirm that now :couple:

Because I felt bad that you didn't win :(

But now I feel better

[John Blaze]

As long as you don't start "feeling" on me, we're all cool. :)

[Patrick]

I donated to the fundraiser, but didn't win (Matt can confirm). If JohnBlaze previously won something, I wouldn't mind having it Patrick :)

Ricky, it's yours!

[Matt]

Looks like he fixed the post and meant you Patrick. :rock:

[John Blaze]

he wants it. Please the guy rewrote his original post 3 times already, give him the book?

:lol:

Patrick, that's a very nice book. I always knew you were a nice guy, regardless of what Matt and Erin said. :)

[Patrick]

Please send it Ricky rather than to me, Matt. :thumbsup:

Sorry, John. Enjoy, Ricky!
- Patrick

[Ricky]

I donated to the fundraiser, but didn't win (Matt can confirm). If JohnBlaze previously won something, I wouldn't mind having it Patrick :)

Ricky, it's yours!

Woohoo!!! It's almost as cool as winning! :clap:

I think a gift is a win on both sides everytime !

[Heather19]

Congrats Ricky! That's very sweet of you Patrick.

[Ricky]

Please the guy rewrote his original post 3 times already, give him the book?


:rofl: I knew someone would notice about the editing! :rofl:


Please send it Ricky rather than to me, Matt. :thumbsup:

Sorry, John. Enjoy, Ricky!

Woo!! That made my day--thanks a million Patrick!! :rock:

[John Blaze]

[alinda]

Very nice indeed Patrick!

[Ricky]

Seriously, I laughed out loud. :)

[Ari_Racing]

LOL :D

[Patrick]

Thanks, guys. You're welcome, Ricky.

:grouphug:

[Ricky]

I'm taking this post to express more of my extreme excitment. Excuse me:

:dance:nWOOO!!!!!! :dance:

:rock: :clap: :rock: :clap: :rock: :clap: :rock: :clap:

[mia/susannah]

Looks like you got a little something there Mia :D

Yes, Erin is such a sweetheart. She is giving me her Reader's Edition of Lisey's Story. I am so happy. :clap: :clap: :rose: :rose:

[mia/susannah]

Patrick, you are a sweetheart as well, good for you Ricky!!!!

[Disturbed Angel]

This is such a feelgood thread - you are all such nice people, thats what I love about this place :wub:

[Nerak]

yeah. we are just a touchy feely kinda place!!! :wub: :huglove:

[Matt]

I updated the first post in this thread to record the switches, let me know if you aren't there. :nana:

[oy-the-brave]

Matt I have a few books (mostly Cemetery Dance s/l's) that I had intended to donate but never got the chance to find them. I am wondering if it would be OK to list them here to the first taker that had an entry into the drawing but did not win anything?

They will be sent by me (I will pay the media mail shipping too of course).

[The Lady of Shadows]

i think sarah b is a psuedonym for . . . .

[Disturbed Angel]

Well I am glad I found you all in plenty of time for next years event! :D

[Disturbed Angel]

i think sarah b is a psuedonym for . . . .

Disturbed Angel? :innocent:

[The Lady of Shadows]

:orely:

[Disturbed Angel]

You know it makes sense...... ;)

[The Lady of Shadows]

okay, this i gotta hear.

[John Blaze]

:lol:

sure. read the first page, I tried that already.

[Disturbed Angel]

okay, this i gotta hear.

I assume you have not heard a very rare language of MidWorld. Obviously it is High Speech of the rarest and highest form.

'Disturbed' has a few pronounciations but the most common (if you are priviledged enough to be privvy to this language) is 'Sarah' - prounced S-Rawww

'Angel' is such a High word that few are bestowed with the knowledge of it, but rest assured it translates to 'Beeagh', which in your more common speech is shortened to B (Bee).

I hope that clarifies any doubts that anyone may have had.








No??? :unsure:

[The Lady of Shadows]

i am duly impressed. concise, imaginative, just enough use of the inside terminology to make it believable, not too over the top. i'd give it a B+

what thinkst thou tet mates?

[John Blaze]

mine is more believable.

[The Lady of Shadows]

hey jb, your pic is back. :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

No??? :unsure:


I would totally buy that. :lol:

[alinda]

Whispers-from Brice to alinda


This sounds so very romantic to me :blush:

[Daghain]

I would be willing to part with my Carrie--Doubleday First Edition Book Club to someone who was in the giveaway, but did not win anything. First one to post in here gets it, once management verifies they haven't previously won anything. :)

[Darkthoughts]

I didn't win anything Daggers!! :D
JB's trade is "to be confirmed" as far as I'm aware - but also, at the risk of sounding really ungrateful to JB :unsure: I'd rather have Carrie as I don't own a copy of that book at all.


I also have a UK Lisey's Story hardback that I meant to send in for the draw, and didn't in time (wasn't sure if the mail would be fast enough) - so anyone who entered and didn't win may make a claim here if they would like it, I will cover postage :thumbsup:

I was entered and didn't win and would absolutely love a UK Lisey's!

How generous of you!
I would LOVE to have a copy of Carrie!
:huglove:

(nevermind...I was late in asking...)

[Matt]

i'm waiting to hear from someone, but i think I'll be giving away my SOS, as I already have 3 copies of it.


I don't know if someone said already, but if you wanted to send me your copy of SOS, I would take it off your hands JohnBlaze... :D

Now that this smoke has cleared how about--

JB SOS to Ladyhitch

Daggers Carrie to Darkthoughts

I think that is a great idea if you would like to list what you have here. Thanks for the offer. :couple:

I was entered and didn't win and would absolutely love a UK Lisey's!

All of these requests are confirmed in but did not win for those who have that criteria.

#32 Bag of Bones - Trade Hardback First Edition is also up for a re give if anyone would like it.

[Daghain]

Okay, Lisa, Carrie is yours! :D

[Matt]

Woohoo!! I will add it to the list.

[Daghain]

Awesome. I love seeing a book find a good home. :)

[Matt]

Me too. :wub:

I changed the thread title and first post just a bit. I need to get this wrapped up by Friday to make sure I can mail stuff out.

Stuff that I am sure isn't going to be re gifted will be going out this week.

[Daghain]

Well, as much as I'm sure most people would like me to trade that Whelan, that baby is MINE. :lol:

[Matt]

I don't blame you one bit. :lol:

[John Blaze]

I didn't win anything Daggers!! :D

ungrateful wretch:shoot:

j/k, i'd rather have a Carrie too. I guess my SOS paperback is up for grabs again, but I'll give Ladyhitch first shot at it, unless she's gotten something already.

LH, you out there?

[John Blaze]

#32 Bag of Bones - Trade Hardback First Edition is also up for a re give if anyone would like it.

Can I have this one and the SOS to LH? I don't have a Hardcover BOB.

[Matt]

I think since you are being so gracious giving yours away, there is no reason not to send BOB right to you man.

Thanks for the help.

OOps--I just realized you got "The Green Mile" on DVD already Bruno, lets wait on this one a bit. If I don't get anyone by the end of the day, its yours.

[John Blaze]

:D thanks Matt

[Darkthoughts]

Cheers Daggers :huglove:
Cheers Matt :huglove:
Cheers JB *kicks up the butt* :lol:...:huglove:

What, pm me your address and its on its way :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

You're welcome, Lisa! :)

[Darkthoughts]

:couple:

Its extra cool, because I haven't even read Carrie for like...17 years?! Scared the crap outta me too :lol: (I know you'd be happy with the sadistic angle with all this free lovin floating around :P )

[Sam]

If anyone has anything else they would like to give away, I'd be happy to take something off your hands. I would ask about the BOB, but I already have a hardcover of it packed up in a box somewhere and one day I will actually find that box.

[Matt]

I think we may get a few more offers in here Sam, I hope you get something.

Sam was entered and did not win--confirmed.

[what]

What, pm me your address and its on its way :thumbsup:

Thank you so much! :excited:

[Darkthoughts]

No worries :couple:

[mia/susannah]

Matt, if noone else wants the Bag of Bones, I would love to have it. What can I do?

[Matt]

Well, I am trying to make sure everyone that wants something gets a chance so I'm waiting for those who have already gotten a gift.

But if no one else pipes up by the end of the week...this particular item goes to John Blaze (because he asked first)--the next one is yours though.

<---tries to keep track. :lol:

[sarah]

I'll take next in line.

[mia/susannah]

Ok, thanks Matt. No problem

[Matt]

I'll take next in line.

You were in and did not win correct Sarah? Also, you have not asked for a re gift.

If all that is right, that Bag of Bones is yours if you want it.

[John Blaze]

Cheers JB *kicks up the butt* :lol:...:huglove:


HEY!, just because YOU enjoy that doesn't mean I do! :lol:


BURN!:dance:

[sarah]

I'll take next in line.

You were in and did not win correct Sarah? Also, you have not asked for a re gift.

If all that is right, that Bag of Bones is yours if you want it.

I had eight entries and I didn't win anything and I haven't asked for a regift.

[Matt]

Its yours then :couple:

Congratulations.

[mia/susannah]

No offense JB But I hope Marelyn gets the Bag of Bones. That would only be fair and that would be great.

[sarah]

Its yours then :couple:

Congratulations.


Oh shoot, matt, I was just thinking that it wouldn't really be fair if I claimed the Bag of Bones as I already own it. When I asked to claim it I wasn't really thinking that it should go to someone who doesn't have a copy. That would only be fair and I shouldn't be selfish having two copies of my own.

soooo. BOB can still up for grabs.

[Matt]

Poo!

I thought I had one solved. :lol:

JB is still first in line for that I guess.

[John Blaze]

I'm confused now, is there 2 BOB's?

if so, one to Maerlyn, one to Mia. Kool?

[Matt]

Nope, there is only the one.

Wizardsrainbow already has a copy (duh) and doesn't mind it going to a good home.

We have two people that have asked for it first. JB and mia

But you guys have already claimed gifts so I was waiting.

Then Sarah said it wouldn't be fair if she had it so its back on the chopping block. :nana:

[Kevin]

I have no copy of BoB and would really love one to add to my King wall of doom. Please please please???

[Matt]

So...you must meet the criteria

In the drawing
did not win
have not requested a regift before now

confirm?

[mia/susannah]

Although I would love to have Bag of Bones, I don't have a copy either, it should go to JB or someone who has not received a gift or regift

[Matt]

Looks like it may be Kevin.

But you did score one hell of a re gift there Mia--I've already requested that it be sent right out too you.

[oy-the-brave]

I have 4 books that I am offering one at a time to the first person to request it that had entries into the drawing but won nothing, and has not been regifted either. Please request them and as soon as Matt confirms you meet the terms please send me a PM with your address. As soon as Matt confirms I will list the next book. All are signed editions in new condition. Dave:



First Up is Where's Bin Laden by Shane Ryan Staley signed chapbook published by Corrosion Press a Delirium Books line.

[mia/susannah]

Looks like it may be Kevin.

But you did score one hell of a re gift there Mia--I've already requested that it be sent right out too you.

You are so right, Matt. I am happy with that. :dance: :rock:

Kevin, that is great. Good for you!!:drool: :dance: :thumbsup:

[John Blaze]

really? what was that?

and isn't Kevin the one who got his whole family to donate? Check the bracelet thread that daggers did. if so and he has not won anything I'd sacrifice myself for him, the guy is tres' generous.

Well, it really should go to someone who entered the contest but didn't win anything. I already have a cool dvd coming thanks to Erin :wub:. My SOS is going to someone who needs it, and I'm happy.

thanks everyone for your generosity.

[Kevin]

Sorry, I didnt read the rules properly I guess. I won the Stand By Me DVD. So still up for grabs!

[Matt]

POO!!!

:lol:

We'll get it gone if my name ain't Hotty McHotterson

Check the first post for stuff that is available.

I am going to start flat giving these items to people reguardless of status in a couple of days.

JB is still first up on this one.

[John Blaze]

Matt, give it to Mia if no one eligible claims it, I'm removing myself from this thread now, except to harrass Darkers. :D

[Matt]

:(

Why is that? Don't you want it?

But in any case, I just want my office cleared of books. :lol:

So I'll give them to whoever will love them.

[Ricky]

Man, everyone's giving away stuff...I want to give something away!!

[mia/susannah]

Thanks JB, I would so love to have Bag of Bones

[John Blaze]

:(

Why is that? Don't you want it?

But in any case, I just want my office cleared of books. :lol:

So I'll give them to whoever will love them.

I have it in paperback, i just didn't have it in hardcover, so I asked for it. I don't think Mia has either.

[Matt]

Works for me man.

Mia is now first up for BOB :rock:

[Kevin]

I'm sooo confused now. :lol:

[Matt]

It is quite confusing. But easy to explain.

If you were in and did not win plus have not claimed a re gift--you are up first

If you were in and did claim a regift--you are next by request

after that, they are going to anyone that wants them. :lol:

These are some very beautiful books so I am sure we can get the smoke cleared and all will find a good home.

[Brice]

BoB may need a seperate thread. :P

[mia/susannah]

Jb, You are right, I don't have a copy of Bag of Bones. Erin is giving me the Advanced Readers Edition of Lisey's Story. I am so happy

[Matt]

It looks like it is going to be yours Mia :wub:

[Kevin]

Congrats Mia! :clap:

[Spencer]

This is a wonderful thing folks are doing. Truly the spirit of giving.

[Ricky]

Mia is now first up for BOB :rock:

Wow. I spent awhile sitting here saying to myself, "what is a Bob?".

[Brice]

Mia is now first up for BOB :rock:

Wow. I spent awhile sitting here saying to myself, "what is a Bob?".


Oh, we're just giving away people now. You're next.

[mia/susannah]

thanks Matt and everyone. I promise to give Bag of Bones a real good home.

[John Blaze]

np. it wasn't mine anyway :P

A Brice is next for the giveaway. I sure have no use for it, anyone want to claim it?

[Ricky]

I'll pass on that one. Although after sampling Hannah DNA, I have a taste for human flesh.:evil:

[Brice]

So...you're saying there's a new grand prize? :D

[Matt]

If Hannah DNA is the new grand prize, there will be no drawing. :lol:

Cause its mine!!

[mia/susannah]

I will take Brice as well. I am greedy!

[Brice]

If Hannah DNA is the new grand prize, there will be no drawing. :lol:

Cause its mine!!



Are you embezzling the Hannah DNA from the giveaway Matt? Shame on you!



can't really blame ya' though.

[alinda]

*gentle nudges Milissa out of the way*
Oh Brice honey, may I see you over here a minute? ;)

[mia/susannah]

Hey Alinda, I have first Dibs on Brice!!! But we can share, if you want to

[Ricky]

If Hannah DNA is the new grand prize, there will be no drawing. :lol:

Cause its mine!!

I think not! It's definitely mine! If anything, I'd be willing to give you .2% while I take the other 99.98%. :shoot:

[Spencer]

Mia is now first up for BOB :rock:

Wow. I spent awhile sitting here saying to myself, "what is a Bob?".

Hopefully not this guy :lol: :

Destinations Unknown by Gary Braunbeck S/L hardcover published by Cemetery Dance

House Infernal by Edward Lee S/L hardcover published by Cemetery Dance

Since you are offering: I would be interested in House Infernal..Ed Lee
My 15 entries got me nada in drawing.

[BedOfRoses]

OytheBrave, I had some entries and did not win. I would like the Destinations Unknown if no one else has claimed it.

This is very generous of you. :couple:

[Matt]

Wonderful!

I can confirm on both

(and it does suck you two didn't win, you both were such huge support)

I'll add those to the list.

[BedOfRoses]

Thank you, Matt! I was so happy to be a part of all of this, but it IS exciting to be getting something from Oy-the-Brave!! :)

[EXPLORER]

Thank you Matt...and Oy-the-Brave.
It was wonderful to watch the give grow. The Haven Foundation is well deserving and the support from all was quite impressive. Jim

[The Lady of Shadows]

umm. okay, now i'm very confused. i did contribute to the foundation giveaway and bought stuff from the store. i didn't even know that entered me into the giveaway until turtlex mentioned it to me while we were watching and chatting that night. is that wrong? did it not enter me into the big give?

once again, it's time for my classic line: i'm so lost.

[Darkthoughts]

Yes, you would have been entered - its simply that not everyone won something :) If you keep checking here you may get lucky though ;)

Apart from the big give - many members do giveaways during the year, check the grow bag often, is my advice.

[The Lady of Shadows]

yeah, but matt said i wasn't and he's like the gatekeeper right? so maybe he didn't get my donation in time and the store didn't tell him in time. i did send him an email about the donation and the purchases, but that was because i wanted to make sure he counted it in the total if he announced it during the taping.

i didn't know about entries until turtlex told me that night like half way thru (maybe more like 3/4 of the way through) the whole thing. i was just asking about this re-gifting thing. it's not a big deal, just a little confusing for my poor tired turtle brain. :unsure: :doh:

[Darkthoughts]

In that case, I have no clue...best wait until Matt answers ;)

[Matt]

Sorry, now I'm confused. I didn't realize your name was in the hat turtlesong.

My apologies, its just been one mis communication after another :(

I will make sure you are on the list for the next one. :couple:

[The Lady of Shadows]

i'm not pressed about it. since i didn't even know about entries in the first place, and i feel more than rewarded getting to watch the drunken fab four play. :nana:

i was more interested in the things finding a new home, but most of those took place while i was offline, so honestly, i'm not worried about that either. but thanks for thinking about me. :rose:

my TDT.com mastercard commercial:
donation to haven foundation - $25
two TDT.com t-shirts - $34
watching the fab four get drunker and drunker - priceless
**there are some things that money can buy; for everything else, there's thedarktower.org!

[The Lady of Shadows]

matt{turtlesong says in her sweetest voice}?
you could make it up to me.

you could hold a vid conference this weekend. you guys don't even have to do anything. just drink a little. tell a couple of jokes. maybe sing a little. you could arrange to have something fall off a table again, that was funny. i'll have some food delivered for you. . . .

i'm sure you'd get bigbig ratings. :thumbsup: :cool:

:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

[John Blaze]

:lol:

great, it'd be nice to watch them live, I wasn't able to last time.

[Woofer]

I wouldn't mind Dark Harvest if it's still available. Turtle should have it first, though, for sheer persistence.

[Matt]

I actually have several duplicate things from the giveaway that need to go. I have a half day today so I can get some work done on this.

I'll publish the list when I get home.

I believe I have something for Turtle if you want the Dark Harvest Woofer :rock:

I think she should get something extra for being overlooked like that. :blush:

[John Blaze]

I agree.

[sarah]

Hey matt, can I be added to the list from the stuff you have at home?

[Matt]

Yes you can Sarah. It is some duplicate Cemetery Dance books that were donated. I meant to give them out to whoever didn't win.

Also some copies of that JM Wilkenson comic "Masques"

[sarah]

cool! thanks, matt :D

[Nerak]

The generosity continues!!

Can you FEEL the love?? :huglove:

Takes a toke, holds the smoke....lets it out slow with a guteral sounds coughs and says " Good shit...."

[The Lady of Shadows]

so cap'n does that mean you guys aren't doing the vid for us this week as my payment?? i'm holding my breath in anticipation. . . . .

[Matt]

:lol:

I am not sure I can talk my wife into it and Aaron and Hannah live about 3 1/2 hours away. But I promise we will do another weekend soon.

But for you personally, there will be a box going out with some special goodies.

Do I have your address?

[The Lady of Shadows]

oooooh. super secret videos?????? (i have videos on the brain don't i? see, you've all corrupted me. i used to be so sweet, so innocent, so unknowning).

*coughcoughcough* hmmm, little dusty in here. now where did i put those swiffers??

no, you don't have my addy but i'll pm you with it.

[alinda]

You and me have each others addys Matt, in fact I may have a wee surprize comming to your mailbox in the very near future!! :D Just because!

[Woofer]

Gosh! I can't believe I forgot to include Oy-the-Brave in my thank you. :doh:

:rose: THANK YOU, OY-THE-BRAVE! :rose:

[The Lady of Shadows]

hey, i'm gonna put this here and if it's not in the right place the cap'n can move it, okay? i don't know if any of you collect the books from the stephen king horror library (not the red bound ones but the ones that came in the dust jackets) but i just found in one of my boxes a brand new ghost story by peter straub stephen king horror library edition.

the dust jacket is a little bent at the top left corner in the front but other than that i'd say it's in damn good condition. the inside says it was especially created in 2003 for the sk horror library. anybody interested? if not it's going into the bookmobile thread to transverse the globe.

[mia/susannah]

matt, that is great. I think turtlesong should get something special. This is so great. I am so glad to be part of this site.

[Sam]

Matt, I would certainly like my name added to the list of consideration for one of the Cemetary Dance re-gift items. I already have Weed Species and CD #50 if this helps. They produce some beautiful books. I wish I could afford one of their lettered editions. Maybe some day.

[Matt]

Great Sam--I have you on there.

There are still two available that Oy put up.

Thank you for considering me, and thank you most of all for your generosity!

[Sam]

Sent it to you.

[sarah]

Thanks matt!! :couple:

[Kevin]

Dark Harvest should be taken off the first post if Ricky has claimed it. ;)

[Matt]

Getting there. :lol:

**boxing day**

[Ricky]

I'm excited to receive my books! *raises the roof* :)

[LadyHitchhiker]

Are there any copies of Masques left because I would take one off your hands and give it a good home! :D

[The Lady of Shadows]

matt & everyone else - thank you so much. i'm so very excited!

alinda - it's yours (cause i guess we're not waiting until tomorrow). is your address in the "where in the blue hell" thread or do you want to pm me with it?

:)

[LadyHitchhiker]

Hers is in the where the blue hell thread...

[LadyHitchhiker]

She is Linda Larkins :wub:

[Matt]

Are there any copies of Masques left because I would take one off your hands and give it a good home! :D

Your box is too small. :(

But I will send one out in a separate mailing when I get some more bubble envelopes.

[Brice]

Could I possibly get one of the copies of Masques if noone who didn't win claims them, Matt?

[Matt]

Sure Brice, one is yours.

It will have to go out in the second mailing as I have run out of boxes and packing tape. :lol:

[Brice]

Ok, thanks alot Matt.

[mia/susannah]

I know this is not the right thread to ask this, but what is the Masques about and who wrote them? I have never heard of it. Sorry about this

[Matt]

Its okay Mia, I never really looked through it.

I know it has some kind of contribution from SK though.

[Brice]

Is this it, Matt?

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/w/j-n-williamson/masques.htm

[Matt]

That is correct!

[Brice]

Pretty damn cool!

[mia/susannah]

Thanks Matt and Brice. That looks like a pretty cool book. I will have to get it sometime

[Matt]

One is yours if you want Mia, it'll just have to go out a little later. :wub:

Your other stuff is being mailed today

[mia/susannah]

Thanks Matt. I would love one. But is that fair to others?

[Matt]

We're coming down to the wire here, I can't leave the offer open forever so right now, those are going out to whoever wants them. :couple:

I also understand there are many more available from the member that donated them so I'm sure we're good. Thanks for being concerned though.

[mia/susannah]

In that case, I would like to have one. Thanks so much to you and the person that donated them.

[NeedfulKings]

Matt, having won in the original auction, if I'm eligable for a copy of Masques, I'll take it.

Thankee. :)

[Matt]

Sounds good, you are in.

Speaking of your prize. Dora wants to frame and mat it for you. She's very good at it and thinks it would make it much more special.

Probably not what you would consider "professional" but totally free. So both will be going out together.

Are you talking about my Boehmke??? :excited: :excited: :excited:

We would LOVE that and obviously would be willing to compensate.

:couple:

[Matt]

Yep, your Boehmke.

And don't worry about the cost, she loves being crafty that way. I saw her little wheels turning while she was looking at it last night.

Probably just a target frame with some nice backing. She'll make sure she does it in a way that it can be removed and redone if need be.

We'll get it done this weekend so you don't have to wait forever for it.

We just wanted to do our part to make it as special as possible.

:clap: THANK YOU DORA!!!

:clap: THANK YOU MATT!!!

I think it will make it extra special to have that personal touch from the two of you. I have a strong feeling that the way it's framed will be the way it stays as long as we own it. :)

I know there will be additional costs for shipping as well as the framing, so just PM me if I can help. I won't ask again. Maybe. :P

[alinda]

You are all such beautiful people...I am amazed everytime
I come to this site at the love you give, as well as the really cool stuff!

[jwangner]

How many Masques are available? I would like to have one, if possible.

Also, seems as though I need a couple more posts in order to PM Hannah or Matt my address...so that should be done shortly!

[Matt]

I will send one out in the next batch of shipping jwangner.

The 5 post thing my end soon in leiu of account validation on the site to further stop SPAM.

[what]

I feel like a mooch asking but... if there are still extras of Masques could I get one?

Not at all, its yours what :rock:
