No, that was pathetic. Look, Joe said 50 entrants, there are 50 entrants. And he also said that there might be a second draw (just like there was last year)... So, get a grip on yourself.

Wow, yeah. Agreeance with Lady Jaye here. that was....well for one, spamming.
For another....please grow up. The rules state there are fifty entrants. Fifty entrants already paid in. The contest is closed. Deal with it.

We're going to do a second drawing, however. I emailed you requesting how you'd like to handle that.
Looks like my payment - sent on Sunday - didn't get in quick enough :( . Please, if possible, just let my entry fee roll over into round two. If there's no round two, then I hope the round one winner enjoys a little extra gravy with my blessing.
...but a second round would be really nice. This is literally my only chance to go this year.

I repeat: I've sent 10usd exactly before K3V (#51) and JagMod (#52) so I should be the #50? If not, please let me know.
thanks

Hey, not trying to curse myself, but if you enter the first contest and lose can you still enter the second (or possibly third)?
Thanks!

Its first entered first (possibly) served in all of them. Its more up to you if you want to toss the $ at it again. But IMO its quite worth it.

Assuming there's a second round for a second winner, at exactly 8:24am this morning I dropped my payment in the mail to you, DP.
If you can add me to the list now, please do. If you need to wait until you actually receive my payment in your mailbox, that's understandable too; just add me to the list when you can.

I don't think I received your payment. Or it didn't get into my e-mail notifications. Either way you can go into the second drawing. If you've got a PayPal transaction number please send it to me so I can confirm this with you!

Not quite, Kev!
You were entry #51 and JagMod was 52.

Yep, a bit too late, but I'm down for drawint #2. Good luck to everyone in the first drawing!

Oh, if that's the case, then quit farggin' posting in this thread. You're no longer pathetic. You have moved solidly into "annoying assclown" territory. For someone who was "just kidding," you've posted ** 8 ** damn times.
Go away.

can I just ask do you have to live in America to enter any of these competition? I'm in the UK and this thing sounds really cool, i'd love to enter possibly the next one if there is.

Doesn't matter where you come from but remember you're only getting $500 worth of expenses covered. So it may still cost a little out of pocket if you're coming from afar, but this will greatly lighten your expense from just about anywhere in the world.
There will be a second drawing... I just don't want to open it up until the first is over so that folks can get a shot at entering again. Look for the second entry later Sunday or early Monday (by EDT standards).

I cant imagine £300 covering much of a return flight to the US and hotel fees? Arent flights in their thousands? *has no idea*
NoahsMyBro
06-03-2005, 09:17 PM
Well,
According to XE.com, $500US = $275.48 GBP.
And according to the Expedia UK site, the cheapest round-trip between London (LGW) & San Francisco (SFO), leaving Aug 18 and returning Aug 23, is 633.70 GBP.
So, at today's exchange rate and prices, the contest would cover about 43% of the airfare. Not a small prize, but, yeah, you'd need your own chunk of change to supplement it.
Of course, I have no idea where in the UK you are in real life, the exchange rate could change tomorrow if President asshole decides he's pissed at soem European somewhere and starts another bullshit war to boost his approval ratings, and the airfare could change with the winds, so this is all just mental masturbation so far.
But maybe it will give you some idea of what's what.
Personally, I'm going to be in round two. I'm in the US, so the airfare presumably won't be as steep for me, and there's a very good chance this will make my "help another DP'er go to CGE" streak keep riding one more year! :D

If you feel that way then I'd suggest you don't join the next entry group. Sorry, I do my best to accomodate everyone. This process strikes the best balance between low cost entry and high result savings, but no system is perfect. Especially one that we devise.

yeah it just wouldnt cover enough for me right now even if i did win, so i guess until next year!

i dont think anyone is being mean and no one has "beef" with you
i believe they were just saying that you should enjoy the boards all this year and maybe next year the money situation will be different for you and you will be able to make the trip, with or without the contest

Wow. I know it's cheesy, but I really didn't expect to win. Thanks to all who entered and to Joe who organized the contest. I am truly stoked, and am even doing my happy dance. :D
Congrats Neuropolitique! Make sure to report back after it is over.
I was actually thinking about that before the drawing.I would love to do something for those who entered and helped me to go. So my idea is this. An offer to photograph the Expo. The entire deal. Every booth, as many people as I can find. Everything. Now, bear in mind that I am a pretty mediocre photographer, but I would love to do it and I think otheres would like to see it. Let me know, either ok idea or lame. Thanks again!
