I don't think I'd say that it turned sour, so much as one person got a bit rude and then Christmas took over. I suppose I should give a sit-rep. Actually, the reminder prod is good. I'll see if I can't get in touch with people again and get it back on the move.

I still have everything here, all boxed up, all still as it was. I tried getting in touch with the next few folks in line a couple times before December but didn't receive any response. I rather stopped paying attention to it over Christmas, mostly because I've had dodgy experiences with temp holiday staff and didn't want to see it get lost.
