TBLA Blue Friday Mod Appreciation day and Gift Exchange.

by Grimjack on Nov 28, 2011 1:45 PM PST

The Story so far:Where: Big Wangs Hollywood, Cahuenga and Selma in the heart of the Cahuenga Corridor.

When: December 9th 6:00pm until we run out of beer.

Why: Because all of the hard work the Mods on this board put in deserves a beer or two and it would be a good time to exchange gifts in a non Karaoke(sp) environment.

As promised here is the fan post that I started talking about a week ago. I have scouted the location (No towers of beer any more they wasted too much trying to fill the tower) and found the spot where I would like to thank the Mods for their year long hard work. Big Wangs Hollywood will be where I would like to buy the Mods a pitcher (Each) of the beer of their choise to say thank you for the hard work that has been put in to keep this site up, running and free from Bearface. Also anybody that shows up and feels so inclined can exchange gifts (Josie, I have your shirt) so come one and all to say thank you.

The update: Damn NBA can't keep it's hands off my date...... We are still a go for Big Wangs I need to get a head count so I can get a section of the bar saved for our band of merry people. As mentioned in other posts lets try and keep the gifts at $10.00 or so.

I’m in as well. Trying to convince my cousin Alex to come, but I think he works. I might call in a bomb threat to get him to show up.

by nolander on Nov 29, 2011 10:07 AM PST reply actions

I'm coming

and will be bringing a guest. And I have the same question as Nolander, are this gifts going to certain people or just a random person?

So like a name in a hat type of deal?

Last year I got this for our white elephant game.

How could I outdo this? lol

Way I’ve seen it done:
Presents get put on table. First person takes present and opens it. Second person takes present and can opt to either take the opened present or pick a present. This goes on until everyone has done the deed. The person with the last pick either gets anyone else’s present they want or take the last one standing.

This will guarantee that Josie will cry when no one tries to take her present from Eric. Eric will be pissed he ended up with a candle.

by Phil Gurnee on Nov 29, 2011 2:41 PM PST reply actions

I’ve seen it done without opening the presents so it is all blind.
