thank god it's them instead of you
It's Sunday night and I'm still only semi-recovered from Diana & Mike's annual XXXmas party and Giftapalooza, which celebrated its 13th anniversary over the weekend here in Seattle.
This is the party where people bring some seriously fucked-up presents to unload on the unsuspecting random masses. You bring a present to put under the tree, then try your luck at picking out a new prize from what others have brought. It was a bit of a smaller crowd than in previous years, but the "quality" of presents (and people in attendance) was very, very high. So to speak.
New Seattle resident Sasha Krushnik made an inspired first impression with the present he brought: a bag of mushrooms. The poor girl who opened that was immediately bum-rushed.
Still, I think I may have been the recipient of the most popular present. And as Christmas is a time for sharing I let everyone at the party get a piece of the action, as you'll see from the photos I put together in a quicktime movie.
