Bag Exchange

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 13 Feb 2006 15:56

UPDATE:

Names and addresses will be sent out in PMs this evening. Sorry for the delay, but there were some unforseen circumstances preventing the release of this information sooner. Bags should be completed by February 20th, and sent out on the 21st of February if at all possible. I know soemtimes it takes me an extra day or so to make it o the post office because of my work schedule.

Regarding Shredzilla's comment above: I am not interested in specifying preferred bag weight. Because not everyone uses the same filler types, achieving 50 grams with filler X might decrease the performance of the bag. For example, if using light filler, it would take a whole lot of filler to achieve 50 grams, hence the bag would feel overstuffed. The point of this exchange is to receive a prototype bag from another stitcher, that exemplifies the OTHER stitcher's style, not yours. This would allow for greater learning about the differences between bags in today's market. I guess it is open for debate however.

nah, it's cool. I know what you mean. I don't have that particular problem but it may be too much to think about and like I said, I change the fill most of the time when I get other people's bags anwyay.

PMs including the name and addy for the stitcher you are sending to have been sent. Check them and be excited . . . but tell no one.

I hope that we will all post about the bags we receive when the time comes for that sort of thing. Good job Jackbag!

Another potential problem is putting a return address on the envelope. I want to know that if for some reason the bag needs to be returned to sender, that it comes back to me and doesn't get stranded without an address.

If you haven't already, send off your footbags! I just send mine today! The only bad thing is that I was told that there is no guarantee as to how long it would take for the recipient to reveice the bag. So BE SURE TO POST HERE when you receive my bag because I want to make sure it gets there in one piece. I/m really excited about receiving mine nd I hope everyone will reveal who they received a bag from eventually along with what they think about it (as long as comments are appropriate and gentleperson-like.

My ABSHIRE arrived today!!

Pic soon!

Thanks Richard for sending me my very first brand new abshire! I believe it is an A910.

I mailed out my bags to my secret person today.

I sent the person two bags because I owed them one from an earlier trade.

Hehe, I hope I didn't give too much secret info out!

What a surprise!

So I heard there is this awful rumour going around that the bag exchange was not random.

Some people have gotten the impression that a manipulative hand had a role in things *cough* mirken *cough* and the newer stitchers only exchanged with eachother and the 'pros' were kept separate in their own grouping.

I didn't start this rumour, I am only stating that some people feel this way and aren't stoked about it..

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 04 Mar 2006 03:25

Well you all who think that can suck a dick then because i didnt draw the names or assign pairings! I left that to a neutral party who didnt know most or any of you. but, someone else is free to run it next time tho if you think Ive done a poor job.

Who think that way and why?

Hey Jeremy, I wasn't intending to be a dick that was saying you did a bad job.

I think you did a sweet job and now a whole lot of people have sweet new footbags that they wouldn't otherwise have gotten.

I just think conspiracy theories are fun sometimes.

Jochen, I heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone... etc. I don't really know where the thought started.

shredzilla · Post by **shredzilla** » 04 Mar 2006 08:54

I haven't gotten my bag yet

I'ts been like 2 weeks.

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 04 Mar 2006 13:40

If you didnt say it, then I didnt mean you. To chris, maybe you have a european bg coming for you, in which case, it may take several weeks- im not sure whose sending to you. I know thst some stitchers didnt send off their bags on the date I requested, so maybe your bag is late in coming for that reason. Mine is still at the post office because of my stupid work schedule!
