1ST ANNUAL UHX SECRET GRUNTY SIGN-UPS
Welcome to the official 1st Annual Secret Grunty Exchange.
Here's what to do if you want in:
* Send me a direct message including your name and postal address saying you want in. You must send a PM to sign up. Doing so means you've minimally read the instructions and conceivably are able to procure and post a gift.
* After you send me a message, post in this thread just in case something goes haywire and I need to double check the list and/or I'm a total jerk and your message is lost.
* In a couple of weeks, sign ups will be closed. I will conduct a super scientific algorithmic experiment to match participants and you will receive a direct message with your recipient's name and address.
* Next, you make/buy an amazing thing and get it to the post office before December 10th. Everyone gets packages in the mail, and joy and goodwill to all ensues.
Some important information:
* The exchange is open to all users anywhere in the world, old and new.
* You can gift whatever you want.
* Get creative. Go nuts with packaging design/additions. You don't have to, but get your juices flowing. Karma, people.
* Put your gift in the mail no later than December 10th. This time of year mail systems are overloaded, and if you're in Ecuador and your recipient is in Mongolia it will need some time to get there.
* If you sign up, be willing and able to mail a gift. If you already know you're out of the country for all of December, yeah it's a drag, but please don't sign up. Grovelling and pleading may be accepted if it's a really cool story but the one thing that ruins this thing is the jerks who don't send anything.
That's it.
Have fun.

HOPE YOU LIKE CORN ON THE COB
If you've not signed up, now is the time.
REMEMBER: get 'em in the mail by the 10th!
And incidentally, don't say your username in what you send. Let people try and guess later when people compare their lumps of coal/best santee ever notes.
Once you receive your cool thing, be sure to post pictures and make a guess at who your Santa/Grunty is here!
WHERE THE F IS MINE YOU GRUNTYS
I also was expecting an email and didn't know there was a message in my Inbox!
Okaaaaaaayyyyyyy, um, Santa's coming?
Please make sure you're a good santa/grunty! The world is counting on YOU!

I also don't know how to describe it accurately, OR who made it... so exciting!
It's a beautiful woven? knitted? pale green band that larger than my head, so I am assuming it to be a belt or perhaps neck adornment. Handmade is so cooL, GRUNTY!!!
Rule generally is, if you guess correctly, the person can come forward...
I haven't gotten my Grunty yet
But I am in Michigan
I LOVE GRUNTY
Grunty isn't real.
:(
Just the concept is great.
WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS: KUDOS TO YOU SIR OR MADAM
I have no idea who my Grunty is (and I can't match many people's UHX names to their IRL names, so it's hard to even guess), but thank you, it's awesome!
I think I know your Grunty!
The person who was my Grunty guessed it before she even opened the box.
Damn living in such an immediately-knowable town (because no one else on earth lives here but me)
STILL NO GRUNTY FOR ME
I WANT MY LOOT
I WANT TO SEE IF GRUNTY GOT MY LETTER SAYING WHAT I WANTED
The man behind the Secret Grunty Exchange is toni (aka Nick Rennis). Nick is the owner of The Business in Anacortes and he single-handedly makes the music scene happen in our town these days. With no D.O.S. we are spending the cold seasons at home watching DVDs and Nick is the one offering bands who still wish to come through town a place to play and he also hosts social events at the bar twice a week.
When the Grunty sign-ups happened I was like "Fuck no! Enough pressure to find gifts already, I don't need this right now..." but now as everyone is receiving their cool stuff in the mail I have realized that this was a really great idea. It seems like enough people here are on the same page to make and give each other really awesome things.
So anyway, the sad part about this is that the Grunter (toni) can't be grunted...
