Holiday Disc Exchange

The secret gift exchange is on this Holiday Season with Chet, Greg, Guns, Burgler, Saito, Mr. Norwalk, Maddog and Shankmeister all participating. Tomoko has generously agreed to supervise the secret randomizing with some programming help from Chester.

It seems each of us may take a very different approach to the occasion. For instance, in a recent email, Greg wrote:

Why not add a little special touch and personalize our holiday gifts? You know, embellish a little here and there with a well-placed tuft of feathers, braided pipe cleaners, or puffy stickers...Just to get your crafty creations on a roll, how about a few quick squiggles with a glitter pen? or maybe some shiny sequins? or even a full-edged application of Lee Press-On nails? This would definitely kick it up a notch! Of course, for those not so artistically inclined this might be a challenge, but I guarantee you'll grow to love the sight of your own personalized putter sailing through the sky trailing a tail of shimmery tinsel in its wake!

I must give props to the festive spirit, however I am secretly praying that Greg is not my assigned santa. Unicorn stickers mess with my concentration.

Anyway here are the ground rules for the exchange:

1. Total spent must be at least 20 dollars EXCLUDING shipping costs.
2. Gifts must arrive by December 25th
3. Get me something cool

There are many online disc retailers but here are two of the more popular ones amongst our frequent disc purchasers:

Gotta Go Gotta Throw (Saito can give you a complete rundown of their specials as well as the owners private phone number)

Marshall Street (Dave and I went to this shop recently and it is stocked!).

Anyway, you should be able to find some good deals. Ring in with anything I've missed and lets keep this thread updated with relevant news in the comments (although it seems stating preferences is in disfavor).

G-Man!

when you coming up to NYC? ~ its been ages. Bring the Cole salad, we'll drop him off with Shank's whelp and get our disc on! Or maybe Diego (AKA the hater) will babysit since he's got nothing better to do.

BTW, you have inspired me Greg, I have decided my recipient will be getting some custome disc art work as well. Anyone know a good place to pickup fuzzy stickers?
