Now THAT'S what I call "Spreadin' the Christmas Cheer!" 

Love the mother covering up the kids eyes. Santa must be packing one hell of a "Sterno"! Too funny!

Ole saint di*k

So, has every winner received their prize then? (besides D'Astro's wiener) Pretty good turn around time, I'd say, no? Wink wink, nudge nudge, post-apocalypse, etc.

ronan's fuzz is in transit.
but i think everything else is already a done deal.

i saw the 1000 comp is STILL waiting. wow. i thought I was a wicked procrastinator!

i'm staying out of that wicket.

[haveyouseenhim]

Do I have to be the one to say it?  I feel like the whole thing was a sham  




I'm not trying to start some mess, but if it looks like one, smells like one, and sounds like one........    


Ok, I'm ready to be lynched now.

[pinkjimiphoton]

no comment. i like my neck the way it is

[garcho]

People bite off more than they can chew all the time. Don't be too suspicious. I'm sure Rick's pedal will be killer.

[haveyouseenhim]

Yea, I suppose.    I want to be wrong

I've asked Jacob to hold off on shipping my boards until he has Jon's Blue Warbler in production. No sense in making two shipments and, I won't be able to build anything until after the new year anyway. I'm finishing up another one of his boards I bought a while back called the Scuba Muff. It's a really versatile fuzz and I'm building it for my brother in law for Christmas. It's going to have pictures of his two kids on it and the switch that selects between low and high caps is going to be labeled with their names. When you flick the switch to "Audrey" her eyes will light up, and the same for "Evan".

Hey folks:)

Ive been contacted by madbean for my prize:) ... He just wait for my orders, which i will place anytime soon, when i have decided what i want for stuff. I have been really busy lately with things very far from boxbuilding... not only me, this time of year i guess. Among other things, i will go on with a new job in the beginning of january.

Yesterday the TEEEshirt arrived though. Thanx Aron!

Cheers all! And a merry n happy and everything xmas to you all as well!

i gotta say, one more time, howsabout a nice round of cyberapplause for all the people involved.
this was a cool competition, just amazing. it was an honor to be involved.

the scores were so close, i mean SOOOOO OOOOO OOOOO close if it wasn't for me subdividing percentages, judging would have been impossible.

i know most of the scores we gave you guys were a lot higher than i think you expected.... and them .40's and .75's etc are what ended up defining it in some cases...
i mean...you guys were all within a nose of each other. if memory serves, less than 15 points between #1 and #8. that's not much of a spread!!

you guys ROCK. period. and i am honored to know each of you.

And a round of cyberplause for the judges and prize donors!  This is young to be a tough act to follow!

Well, it was like Christmas for me today!  I had won three boards from Jacob at JMK Pedals and had asked him to hold the shipment until he had Jon Patton's Blue Warbler board ready. As it turns out, the Blue Warbler is taking a little longer get into production than Jacob expected, so I revised my request. Jacob was nice enough to include a Blue Warbler prototype along with the three boards I ordered!

Below, you'll see the following four boards:

Blue Warbler
Taptation
Delay (designed for the Taptation)
Wakizashi Boost

I'm looking forward to throwing some parts on these puppies as soon as I finish my remodeling work and get the go ahead from the boss.


The boards backed by the boss's boots.

Thanks again to Jacob and all of the folks who sponsored the prizes!!!
