I sent out the first elfster invites for ANSSWSGE 2012. Here are the other important dates:
Sign-up deadline is 10/28
Drawing names (done electronically - you cannot have who you had last year) will be 11/1
Gift Giving Deadline is 12/31
And as I do every year I encourage people to communicate or gift multiple times and generally mess with your giftee. Otherwise it is just me doing that and it ruins it.

Methinks several of y'all can empathize with my message!
SO, HEY! the sign-up deadline came and went for ANSSWSGE 2012. AND the names were drawn electronically this morning.. one person who had expressed interest never accepted the elfster invite (I will email), so for A FEW HOURS ONLY!!! 3 hours from this post time, in fact, you too can get in on the ANSSWSGE 2012 action. Email me at my profile addy and I will get you added.
AND - if anyone has a question or problem with who they got in the draw, (GETTING ME CANNOT BE A PROBLEM, IT IS A BLESSING) you can email me and we will work it out.
