Slacker Secret Santas!
You've slacked up until the one-before-last day, which is today. If you don't send me any info by the time December 10th ends, you won't be able to play this year and will have to wait for a whole year in order to be able to join the fun, and, oh, my goodness, I'm turning Santa into a Jewish mommy, so I'll stop now.
We're going to be resuming our New Years gathering this year at our house. We skipped it last year in the chaos of trying to buy a house. I sent out facebook invites, but if you didn't get one for whatever reason and are interested in coming, please send me an e-mail at my profile address.
If any Chicago area peeps would like to see A Christmas Carol at the Goodman tonight thru Thursday (Dec 11-13) for 1/2 price, click here and use the promo code "CAROL".
Slacker Secret Santas: all of you who e-mailed me should have an e-mail with a giftee name and snail-mail address. Please let me know if there's any problem. Also, if there's anything you'd like to ask your giftee and you'd like me to be the middleperson, then I'd love to.Thanks for playing!
So-so-not-tiny (yeah, yeah, we've already covered that) Jewish not-Santa.
On the plane catch you all on the flip side. Any DC localistas who missed it, dinner tonight at Zaytinya at 8!
Secondly, if you want to follow along, the event I am attending tomorrow is a public reading of the Apology to Native Peoples buried in the 2009 appropriations bill. Native readers will read the unrelated text and non Native readers will read the translated apology. It will livestream on wirelesshogan.com's youtube channel. I'd appreciate if you'd ask your local reps to attend and watch the event. Thanks guys!
