yup- i just went back a few pages and PMed some of the people who were wondering where their stuff was. Sorry about the wait on everything everyone. It was a lot more intensive than i thought it was going to be. Going to tone down the donation next year.
Banhammer! :P

Thanks for the update. I try not to whine unless it's reeeeeeeeeally late, which it isn't.

Yeah. I've learned the hard way, the first things to go out are the long-distance ones. Then the heavy ones. The light ones you can hand off to your local mail carrier if its properly bagged and tagged. I actually thought my shipping costs were going to be over what they raised for the auction. It was less. 1.67:1

Next year, take multiple trips. (I had to take 5 big trips; pretty once every Saturday.)

If I'm not dead or in jail, I'm hoping next year will have to be bigger.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
