I'm still ordering even more stuff to include in these packs. In fact, these will cost me more than the shirts did. If anyone has good ideas for items that would help you survive Black Friday, either in stores or if you're shopping online (and no, I can't include alcohol), post them here and they might show up in the packs.

There's always a chance a few of the survival packs will have very, very, very limited edition 2019 shirts in them...

Also, bad news for some of you as we're going to skip t-shirts for BF this year. Good news is instead we'll be giving away "BF survival packs" with some new merch items that we haven't offered before, along with a random gift card component. They will be given away only - no buying them. But it lets me assemble and package them all well in advance of things getting busy. I'm sure we'll be back to t-shirts next year and I've got a bunch of older "classic" shirts and a lot of other merch that has piled up over the last ~5 years so we may also do another one of the "GD garage sales" early next year where I fill up boxes with as much leftover merch as possible and sell them for basically the cost of shipping.

Anyone have any ideas for the shopping bag design beyond just having a GD logo on them?

Merry Christmas

I've been watching some stuff on the TIvo that I recorded last month when I was busy with BF sutff and I have a mini panic attack every time I'm not paying attention and forget to skip the commercials and hear the announcer with "Check our our Black Friday sale this week..." Only 345 days to go

I actually picked up another myself to use to renew in a year, just in case they don't offer them again next fall. Link for anyone else who wants one (or more): https://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/210521

Sale is live: https://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/210508 Many items already sold out. Membership gift cards for 20% off still available for those who want to save some $ on their renewals.

Some issues with the move but we're still working on them. Had some avatars that weren't loading but those seem to be fixed now.

FYI, moving GD off our BF servers and back to our normal year-round server tomorrow afternoon at 5pm EST so expect the forum to be down while the move is happening so posts don't get lost.
