Mysterious Gifts

I've received anonymous gifts in the past. Unlooked for presents that just came in the mail or showed up by my door. Books, food, etc, and this last week I received an item off my Amazon gift list that someone bought me and I don't know why. It doesn't bother me, except that I don't know who to say thank you to for giving me a CD of the soundtrack to The Adventures of Baron Münchhausen. It's one of my all time favorite movies.

Minicon 42?

Is it usual for there not to be information up about pre-registration by the January before Minicon? I went to the website and there was a note about, "We'll have a link to a registration form up soon, as well as details on rates and cut-off dates and all that fun stuff." Well at least I know it will be on the first weekend of April. Now if I can get a (better) job I could go. Heck I could drive there if I were crazy.
