ILF 2014 Secret Santa WISHLIST Thread

[Eivind August]

If you stalk me, there's sexeh board pictures in the show your board thread. I trust you, dear stalker.

I feel sort of bad about this, considering that in my whole life I never made more than about 300€ with music.

Doesn't matter how much you make from it. If you love what you are doing with music the money is irrelevant. I have made $0 from playing live music. I have made some money from recording groups and producing soundtracks and advertizing though.

Yep.
Music for me is a bottomless pit of lost money. Gear, rehearsal room, gigs that don't even cover transport costs...
I'd perhaps prefer it too be less money sucking, but I don't really care. Some people spend money at nightclubs, some people collect stamps, some people buy gym cards. Music is my favourite way of getting something fun out of my paycheck.

Re posting gear lists: I've posted the one pedal I really hate in a thread somewhere. Everything else is good
If I've already got one of something I probably won't mind having two in the off event that my stalker ends up with something I've already gone and purchased.

Niiiiiiice!

Shirt: L or XL. Amerifat.
Music: Send me your stuff. LPs are also welcome.
I clearly like fuzz. I need to stop buying delays. I have 5 of them. I don't know why.

If you're from a different part of the country/world than I am - I'd love to try some of your beer. I THINK it's kosher to send beer.

It's not, for the most part, particularly in Michigan. But you somebody decides to send you some it should be packaged separately and safely. Lots of horror stories of postal carriers figuring out the contents and just trashing the package.

[D.o.S.]

You can't legally send beer in the mail in the US.

[UglyCasanova]

Having seen how parcels are handled (dropped from up to 10ft onto concrete) I'd advice people to bubblewrap and make sure that their glass bottles are separated from pedals etc with zip-bags. I'm not going to risk it. Sorry, stalkee!

[Schlatte]

It's illegal to send beer in the US?
I've sent schnaps to my SS-victim in the US two years ago and did not have any problems

YOU CAN'T SEND BEER??? I THOUGHT THIS WAS 'MURICA!??

[UglyCasanova]

Alcohol — Alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor) are restricted and can’t go in the mail. If you’re reusing a box displaying alcohol brands, all logos and labels need to be completely removed.

It's only a problem if you get caught, as in they won't deliver the parcel. But it probably won't lead to any legal actions.

precisely that.

[D.o.S.]

It has to do with the laws surrounding beer distribution, many of which are archaic and fairly close to a monopoly.

But, long story short, you can't legally mail beer. You can definitely get away with it, though. I know a lot of beer traders just declare it as "homemade hot sauce" and the like.

[Wes Mantooth]

Yeah I feel like someone has mailed beer for this before right?

[Derelict78]

It has been done and it will happen again

[odontophobia]

It has even done and it will happen again

Yeah, i'm sure it'll be done and that's no big deal. The big thing is just that if the post finds out it's alcohol they'll just trash the package. If a bottle breaks and it leaks they'll trash the package. It's pretty crazy.
