First time I've ever heard a complaint… comments don't immediately appear, they need to be approved first, which usually only takes a few min unless both me and Svet are out to lunch at the same time. Did you check back to see if it was there a little later or did you get an error message or what?

hey Cale, would you let us know when you've selected the winner for each contest, maybe even announce who they are, so we in the process have a sense of closure? and also sufficiently ahead of the show?

for example, the Digitalism show opens doors in 1:30 hours and nothing has been announced. i bought my own ticket already for this show, as i do for the vast majority of shows. the contests are entertaining and free stuff is always fun, so i participate fully with brain and both hands.

however, a contest is a contest, with a beginning, middle and end. if a contest doesn't have transparency, people will have less reason to enter. like why would i bother to enter the eel contest or the other new one you posted i have have no clue will happen to the promised tickets?

I email the winners directly, usually a day or two or three before the show. Sometimes when we do last minute giveaways it is the day of. How about we put a closing time on each contest, which means if you don't get the email from me at that time saying you won then, well, you didn't win.
