So is there an official signup somewhere?
Is there a list where we can tell how far down the list we are?
Erich pointed you to the appropriate thread. Go ahead and read that and then PM me with the correct information. I'm going through the PAB 2020 thread now and will PM those that have expressed interest in joining.
The current list of participants is NOT updated as of today (10/8/2020). So do not assume that if your name is on the list that is the order upon which you will receive the box. There is a lot of cleanup to do since we missed a year and the old box went missing on its way back home to Arizona. I'll cleanup the distribution list and make sure everyone has access to hit as of tomorrow (10/9/2020).
A couple of other etiquette/rules worth mentioning here. Your personal information is stored on a Google Doc that you provide to me so that if I need to contact you about the status of the BOX, then I can do so. That's it. I DO NOT tell YOU the address of the next person on the list, it is up to YOU and the NEXT recipient to communicate that privately. Do NOT exchange personal information such as phone numbers, addresses or emails in the public threads. I will delete them. Perusing through the threads a couple of months ago, I may have to do some cleanup on that front.
Also, this year is going to be a little different in that we are filling up the box as it makes its travels around the country. Please be aware that you aren't the only one who wants to fill the box with little surprises so make sure you leave room for others. I'm going to provide some padding and cushion in the box to prevent breakage and alarming any USPS carrier as they are hauling a 60 lb. box of priority metal tools around that is rattling around in their bag. Before you send the box, please make sure everything is secure and well protected until the box is full.
Finally, please make sure we keep things above board and appropriate. It goes without saying but I'm obligated to point this out - this is a family friendly group and we want to continue that trend. Surprises are fun but strip poker cards and the like are out of bounds!
