This
years list seems longer than ever. I just kept jotting things down
when I thought of them, regardless of how practical or impracticable
they are. Therefore I don't have any expectations, just providing
information.
There
are three sections this year. Stuff to do, stuff to buy & stuff
to search out.
Stuff
to Do
Just
like last year I'm trying to gain a bit more of an audience, and
every little bit helps.
Stuff
to Buy
$Store: Crocks,
headphones, toque, chapstick,
Bridge mix,
Chocolate Cherries, Maple Buds
Cashews, almonds,
pumpkin seeds, hot olives, old cheese,
coconut roll dates (bulk
Barn #2195)
Track pants or 'lounge' pants size XXL
Gloves for taking
photos in the winter.
Warm Blanket.
Nothing special just a warm blanket. I'm adding this one because on
some older pictures and realized I've been using the same one for at least 15 years.
Totes. Rubbermaid
or similar
Vinyl
Cafe CD “The Unreleased Stories”
Digital version or CD version is also available. & the NEW Christmas
book from amazon with unreleased stories
Ticket to 'Mythos'
by Stephen Fry & Starring Stephen Fry at the Shaw festival.
EXTRAS: Arrogant Worms Stuff clothing, book etc. (I already have the complete discography)
Stuff
to Search Out
(Wish
List)
Cheap Old camera
lenses (1970's, 80's mostly) from thrift stores, garage sales etc.
Cheap is the operative word here, if it's described as 'rare' or
'sought after' walk away. 1)BRAND/Mount If they are Nikkor/Nikkon,
Canon FD, or Mintola MC are all great as I can use them right away.
2) Focal length is like a zoom, but there is only one number. Common lengths are: 28mm,
35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm 135mm. there are bigger lengths, but I
wouldn't bother with them.
Christmas
records (real vinyl records) almost any Christmas record is good.
Unusual, interesting, & old are all bonus qualities, but the
holy grail is still Firestone Christmas album #4. It's a 7
record set & I have them all except #4 . So, if your at a
second hand store or a garage sale & see Firestone #4 you have
found the perfect gift!
While
your looking at vinyl just about anything that's on 78 could be
interesting.
Any
Anything by Louis Armstrong is good, especially older stuff.
In
the same vein, another item I'm always on the lookout for is bubble
lights, not the reproductions, but the originals (40'&50's).
These are basically impossible to find, but hey you never know.
UPDATES: (Things that have come up since posting)
* Hair trimmer
Merry Christmas!
