| Nine Days and Counting!!
John (moving this over from Gone Fishing),
You are very correct about the pins and needles! 9 days and counting...
Just out of curiosity I did a little research and found some interesting facts about the contests from previous years that I thought I would share:
__________________________________________________ ___Total Days of
Contest_End______Award_______Days__________Number_ ___Participant
Year____Date_____Announced___Waiting________of Entries___Anticipation
2004___Jan 25____Jan 27________2_____________62__________124
2005___Mar 27____Apr 3_________7_____________39__________273
2006___Apr 16____?????_________9 & counting____68__________612 +
So, if we were to hazard a guess on the announcement date, it could be that 5 days will be added to past contest Award dates. This is based on the time between the 2004 and 2005 contest Award dates. Or it could be 3.5 times the number of days from the last contest (Ouch!). That would be 21 days of pins and needles or 1,428 Total Days of Participant Anticipation! That clearly moves us from pins and needles to swords and daggers!
I hope the judging crew at Eclipse is making good progress with the voting process. I think a late night of pizza and beer is in order (in a locked room), to sort out the final results!
Anxious in Arizona!
For a little fun, lets take guesses on the Award Date
