Good Job last night everyone.
It was very enlightening.... I was impressed, excited, humored, and disappointed all at the same time. It was a great way to get to know some of you a bit better....Mr. Autopia made me laugh, who'd a thought? And some of you continued your push forward, and others have just peeked their heads out. Some, who did not show for whatever reason, made a huge statement to me too. (not including those who sent their answers ahead to Fleagle.)
While I won't disclose who I thought won (don't really know yet), I will say that it was sincerely nice to see you all participate and take it seriously. I think there might be a couple who entered on a whim and advanced on a whim and others who were serious from the beginning. Because of how emotionally invested I am (only speaking for myself here) I would hope that the final three are emotionally invested too. Heck, just be "invested" in it and actually "doing" something would be great!
On another note: I would like to give a shout out to my hubby, Eric (Fleagle) for being such an inspiration. Continuing to spread the magic, as a true CMO should do, he has continued to sincerely care about this contest and can't help but to spread that Pixie Dust. Those pin requests are still coming in...and now from those we've never heard of. No offense, you are still more than welcome to receive them. It's just amazing to me that even some 'lurkers' are asking to be a part of what could have been. Absolutely incredible! Maybe those pins will be worth something after all!
As sick as he's been this past week (I wonder where he got it?) he still managed to throw this event together and bring the funny at the drop of a pin. Anyway.....I know you all appreciate him as much as I do...but I just wanted to publicly mention it!
And again everyone, good job! We missed you HMF, it just wasn't the same without you!

HMF's guesstimate, candidates now only need 250,000 votes to clinch a spot in the Top 3. Now you can slow down your clicking to only 1/10th the speed.
(Aw! Thanks!) We're glad you decided to join us! We hope everyone feels welcome, and -- as fleagle suggested (post #766) -- we also hope everyone is here to stay!
