Total Raised: $300.00

Trivia Round-up and Closing Notes

  • Jul. 28th, 2008 at 2:10 PM
Good Morning~! Everyone all rested and rejuvenated?

Our grand total for pledges on the blog comes to $300. Thank you all so much. I'll send the email out this evening to all our sponsors giving them the information on submitting their donations.

So, I guess some of you want to know about trivia, hm? Well, I just happen to have the totals right here. *smirk*

Highest Fantasy score goes to [info]sylverice2! She wins one original fantasy-themed painting/collage by me.

We had a tie for Highest Science Fiction score between [info]sohorhapsody & [info]sylverice2! You will both get the prize of a science fiction-themed painting/collage by me.

Our highest overall score for the trivia goes to *drumroll* [info]sylverice2! The prize for this is a larger painting/collage incorporating the Fantasy/Sci-Fi theme.

Congratulations! Your painting/collages will be completed within the next month or two and mailed out. Please send me an email at er_imaginethis@livejournal.com with the address you would like those sent to.

Some of the individual questions also contained prizes. The winners of these were as follows:

[info]dizilla - two $5 sponsorships to the charity of your choice, or to AICR in your name
[info]thesilentpoet - and original 3D character design of the Doormouse from Alice in Wonderland
[info]surreal_prose - challenge me to photograph anything during the actual event (posted here)
[info]dizilla - an original photomanipulation artwork on the theme of 'magical steampunk'
[info]thesilentpoet - $10 sponsorship to your charity for DoB, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. (already paid)

I had some awesome monitorees this year. If you haven't had a chance to yet, please take a moment to visit them and congratulate them on a job well done.



Thanks also go to our lovely monitor, Moira ([info]moirablue) who was there to cheer us on right up to the end and to Jen, the brains behind this whole Day of Blogs operation. As well as to Jeff, Liz, [info]logicalargument, and [info]aurora_lamour for coming to party with us at Club AICR!

And big thanks to Jack at AICR for working with us on this, as well as DJing the event, as well as to all those from the AICR group who came by to add their support!

Another round of thanks to [info]dizilla for commenting on nearly every post and keeping me company in AIM for the better part of the night. *hugz tightly*

And, of course, massive thanks to everyone who sponsored us this year and made the effort more than worthwhile.

See you all next year~!

DoB #49: That All Folks!

Whoops! Got lost in Tin Man Fic for a sec trying to stay awake. Some lovely smut before bed LOL

Well, that's all they wrote, folks. It's been a blast. Thank you to everyone who commented and came to play trivia with us, everyone who came to party at Club AICR, and everyone who helped us reach out initial goal of $300 raised on behalf of the Association for International Cancer Research.

Trivia players, there are still some questions (a couple with prizes attached, I think) that haven't been won yet. You can find them here as of an hour ago:

We'll leave them open for new responses until 6pm Pacific Time tonight (July 27), at which time I will do the final tallies and announce the winners. The winner of the last trivia question was [info]blowdry!

Sponsorships will also be left open until tomorrow night at the same time. So please, if you've been at all tempted, send an email to er_imaginethis@livejournal.com with a sponsorship. Remember, if by 6pm tomorrow night we hit $400, I'll enter a matching $100 to make it an even $500. Who wouldn't want to see that?

To everyone for whom I've pledged a sponsorship, you will see the donation made at the end of the week after I get paid. :-)

Thanks again everyone~!

Sleep tight!

TRIVIA QUESTION

How many children have Luke and Leia had, between them?

Previous WInner: [info]blowdry Chewie was about 200, in the first Star Wars movie.

DoB # 46: Where was I again?

  • Jul. 27th, 2008 at 4:30 AM
Okay, so the initial idea, for this post was to talk about General Grevious and how much cooler he is, outside the realm of the just the movie... Unfortunately, my brain is slowly turning into mush and I can't seem to find anything useful to say, at the moment...

All I can think of to say, at the moment was that he was rather lame, in Revenge of the Sith, the movie... Lame and two dimensional. He's much more fleshed out, in the book, that was based on the movie and in the prequel to it, which was Labyrinth of Evil. I really should expound on this more, but I can't come up with the words, at the moment.

TRIVIA QUESTION

How old is Chewbacca, in Star Wars, a New Hope?

Previous Winner: [info]sylverice2 & [info]karolja Splinter of the Mind's Eye... Published in 1978 and can, therefore, almost be forgiven for the incestual tones of Luke and Leia's relationship.... Almost... When it's not creepy...
