Received a tracking # from an unknown cellphone.
SATAN, I AM COMING FOR YOU.

...and I'm really digging Derelict78's giggles when he starts playing that Flex.

I was so excited to have some time to myself and play with the flex I didn’t even tune my bass. Listening back makes me cringe a little.
I truly love fart and laser sounds.

Dude, your giggles made my day! I went back and forth on what pedal you might like, so I hope you enjoy the Flex. I plugged it in to make sure it works and my wife thought I blew up my amp. Good times.

I’m also realizing I didn’t include a note in the box, SO...

Even though your goodreads hadn’t been updated in a while, we have a lot of similar tastes in fiction. I’m a huge fan of Neil Gaiman and Neverwhere is a fun read. I gambled on whether or not you’d gotten around to Dorian Grey, so I’m glad the gamble paid off.

The CD is definitely not your style, nor is it jazz, but it is a radio station where my wife worked and their live broadcasts are always fun. There’s a bunch of Austin and Central Texas-area bands on that volume, including some buddies in The Oh Hellos and my favorite Austin’s artist Shakey Graves.

Got this sweet postcard from Cuba. I'm thinking it's a belated SS mindgames card. I dunno who it's from, but it's much appreciated! :hug:

Fucking finally. I have a moment to myself. It's been super busy here at Jur-thrash-ic park, and apparently the Swedish postal service has also been super busy because they were lazy as shit in getting fkcnoise's ILFSS care package to me.
But it arrived, and it was glorious.

Knowing the quality of the coffee that Nils gets out of the coffee machine at his work place, I was more or less shocked to see some sort of crafty Ethiopian coffee, Ethiopian being my absolute favourite coffee.
Image
Stroopwafels! YEAH!
Image
This enormous biscuit thing, which while looking innocent enough is probably tied to some sort of racist Dutch tradition.
Image
Swedish Christmas candy. This stuff is terrible, but everyone in my family thought I was the best dad ever when I was like "check it out dudes, it's a big pack. Go nuts!". So all in all, that was a win.
Image
The best egg slicer I've ever received in an ILFSS

Then I got this cute picture of Vidret swimming with some buddies, framed in a CD case.

And that was about it.
...

Oh yeah. There was this other little thing
NSFW: show

:hug:
:hug:
:hug:
:hug:

I think that's everything...
Anyways, this was incredibly thoughtful, incredibly cool, and my gear goal of not redoing my pedalboard all year was obliterated within days of making it. Thanks buddy :lol:

Edit: Oh yeah, Nils sent some Vlokken, which we went crazy on. That shit was awesome, and if you can get a hold of some you should do it.

how nice of me to follow gift customs and remove that price tag right

ducth coffee is still pretty shit, but I think it's mostly the way they make it. about 1/2 a scoop of coffee for each cubic meter of water is the ducth standard I believe.

I'm hype you liked the gifts and sorry for ruining your pedalboard plans :lol:

So, yeah, it came! I was getting pretty curious as to who was the sender... and it's Louise/aen's_wife!

HOLY SHIT!

First and foremost, the Swag:

So this stuff looks legit as hell! The cookies are delicious, and the jam is going with the rest of the preserves (The dick magnet is firmly secured to the fridge already, where it will remain until we leave. I died when I opened it.


But then, the other stuff.

Again, holy shit. Such a ridiculously good stalk. 10/10. I feel quite stalked. Pleasantly stalked. Like being wrapped in a blanket of stalkiness.

Four I/O amplification, Four I/O attenuation.


Does this sound like the best way to intermingle samplers/standalone FX/ with Modular? What about seamlessly integrating 1/8 output into 1/4 output? or Vice-y Verse-y?

Si. SI indeed. :!!!: The longer I look at it, the more things I can imagine doing with it. SOOO GOOD.

Oh, and then there's this thing:

An Axaloti Core.
GUH. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I AM FLOORED! Thank you so much :)! And a happy SS to everyone!
