And hopefully this isn't way too off topic, but there's this new website I'm trying to promote. There have been some nice posts in here about dreads and stuff, so this is your chance to go win some money if you want to share them. Here's a blurb about it:

CALL FOR STORIES
We're launching a new web site that will award $40,000 in cash prizes for
great pieces of personal writing on July 1. We are on the hunt for stories
and readers for the invitation-only beta contest. Since we don¹t expect the
beta period to have a very large attendance, the odds are high that people
who submit their stories now will win. We¹re hoping you will spread the word
to writers/bloggers who might be interested in posting, or readers who might
want to rate their pieces.

The site is called FieldReport http://www.fieldreport.com,
and the contest is for true-life storytelling
(2,500 words or less). It is judged through a member ranking system that is
new on the Internet; in order to post a story participants must become
judges in the competition. This way the stories are ranked by quality, not
popularity. The top prize during the beta period is $20,000 for the best
overall submission, plus 17 prizes of $1,000 to $2,000 each in categories
from Love + Hate to Travel + Nature and everything in between. For
submissions to have the best chance in the contest, they probably need to go
up within a couple of weeks.

If you¹d like to check us out, go to FieldReport http://www.fieldreport.com
and explore the site. The beta password is
"truelife". We would be grateful for any feedback about the site at
info@fieldreport.com. Please send this invitation to friends.
Best,
The Folks at FieldReport
