What did you get for Christmas?

Post by Rigsby » Sat Dec 25, 2004 11:36 pm

Me, i got a DVD player, an SE1a, cable, socks (three pairs) some money and a Bill Bailey DVD which didn't really make me laugh last night.

And you?

--a maroon sweater
--a t-shirt that reads "let me drop everything to work on your problem" which my brother thought was perfect for me and I agree.
--an IPass (an automated toll-paying thingy for my car as cash tolls are doubling in price here in January)
--Can's "Tago Mago" and "Future Days" on CD
--"Perilous Times," a book about freedom of speech in wartime
--John Lennon's "Rock and Roll" album on CD
--a magnetic dartboard (long story, not worth repeating)
--another Batmobile for the growing Batmobile display at the back of the control room

inlaws got us patriots monopoly, i got some warm socks, some work gloves, my fiancee and i bought each other a bunch of used DVDs from a going-out-of-business video store... my mom's side of the family is meeting up at my cousin's in california for new years and we'll do a little hannukah gift exchange a couple weeks late. i hope they all know i want the m-audio firewire sound card for my laptop!! oh yeah, and a new screen for my laptop as i dropped a grenade case on it... :-( only problem is the gift limit is like $25 so no soundcard or laptop screen for me...

both early presents: a 1950s italian piano accordian and a front row ticket to brian wilson. totally epic. and the first two seasons of six feet under on deeveedee. brian was great, he kept looking at me and giving me the "ok" hand signal because I was watching in awe as opposed to clapping to denote the tempo with all the other menopausal women.

jesus, the lady next to me started to clap in the middle of God Only Knows, then she laughed at all the SMiLE tracks because she obviously hadn't heard it. yeah.

I got a Dylan Live CD from the bootleg series, some socks, some nice irish tea (barry's) and biscuits (mc vitties digestives), and i bought myself a GT44 tube small diaphragm condensor mic, and then since they're hard to find and being blown out, my dad picked me up another, so i got a pair of tube mics, which rules. anyway... hopefully soon i'll get my insurance money, so i can stop not having a proper studio at home... ugh.

Simon & Garfunkel box set
Trojan dub box set (talk about your barebones packaging!)
Marx Brothers DVD set
New house
Coupla cool t-shirts

I had padded my Amazon.com wish list with various cheap stocking stuffers from musiciansfriend, but no dice!

Good Xmas - was afraid it wasn't going to happen what with the move, but we pulled it all together.
