We can use all of October to ensure that EVERYONE interested can get a spot, then we have a little over a month to find that perfect gift.
This time, however, I'd like to introduce a rule that everything MUST be received by the end of 2014. (unless there are special circumstances, in which case you should contact the person receiving your gift as well as the person in charge) This is due to the fact that I (and hopefully I was the only one) got cheated last time and never received my gift. Having too much faith in Oppo, I waited until the end of February to call it a loss, and by then nobody knew who my Senna was, so it was too late to make things right. So if anyone decides to be an asshole again, this time we can be prepared.
I'd also like to personally host a sort of "insurance" on it, this time. Everyone who participates can gift me up to $1 on Paypal, and then if any gifts do not arrive, I can reimburse the victims. It doesn't matter if you give me a full dollar or nothing at all; you'll still get full coverage. (assuming enough is collected to do so) This is just a generosity thing and not mandatory. (Also, unless there are any objections, I'll just keep anything left over up to $10 to help make up for last time. If there's even more than that, I'll reimburse the bigger donors first and work my way down until it's all used up.)
That said, I'm far too disorganized to host. So, anyone else who wants to handle it, feel free to take over!

I think that I could handle this without too much trouble if you're swamped this year. Do you still have the spreadsheets from last year? Or did someone else have those going, I forget...

Wait, Alex isn't hosting it this year?

I think it was Alex, but I'm not 100% sure. He'll probably post here eventually, so I'll let him know if he doesn't see your reply.

He might be. I'm not sure, though. Has he already posted about it?

I participated last year, and I'd like to return the favor you guys did of organizing it this year.

He mentioned it in his AMA post, and so maybe this will just galvanize him to start thinking about it.

Ahh, alright. If he is hosting again, then awesome!

Yep, it was Alex. Oddly enough I was the one who got the host as target, so I sent him three different colors of his favorite Ferrari in Hot Wheels form. Monkey Puzzle got me, and sent some Britishey and Germaney Matchboxes (among them a LR)

"A signed copy of Plays With Cars and a miniature Ferrari. I wonder who my Senna was."
Seriously, though, awesome!!

Nice! I think I had Jay Lauer, but I might be remembering completely wrong. I sent him a bunch of Road Atlanta freebies I've gotten over the years, just because, and a small assortment of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. I feel like there was something else, but I can't remember...

No, I have an excellent gift. Nobody will want it, but it exists. And it's excellent.
