I have been offering them to anyone who books a show in December. But I like giving them the option of taking it or not. I'd rather have them use it or pass it on for someone else to use. If I don't give them all away, I'll give them to the first January hosts.Did you see there is one available on ebay? Totally not recommending to buy there, it's $10!
