Haven't seen this posted yet, Sirius is holding a contest to go see Jimmy in the Islands. Link can be found on the RM website. If I don't win, I hope it is one of you. Sounds like a BN'ers dream come true! Good luck all.
If this post duplicates any other, I apologize

Thanks for the heads up, MD. I see where they're anticipating 3,000 entries and it's a random draw vs. actual essay contest.... Oh, and take note that the "vote early and often" approach will get you disqualified.
Good luck everyone!

If the winner is to be decided by random drawing, why have the essay portion at all

I wondered that too and then figured that'll give the Sirius folks something to read and tell more of a story about the winner.

I tried at 11:30 CST and it isn't working. I get an error in the essay field, even though I had already filled it out. Maybe they will fix this soon...

if you hear back or anything hears something, let us know... I tried last night but got that error message as well... There's no indication of a character limit, so I wonder what the problem is....
Hmmm....

I didn't send an entry, it says you need a valid US passport and I ain't got one, not valid anyways.

I had trouble also. But then I backed out, went back in,
and this time it worked. All I can say is try again.
