Raffle winners announced!

(cross-posted over at Avitable Halloween)

Thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets, the proceeds of which go to support the Halloween party happening on October 24th here in Altamonte Springs.

We sold 110 tickets total before the raffle ended, and this allows us to draw four winners for the following prizes:

Each person who purchased a ticket was able to select the recipient of the prize – either themselves of someone specific. I put the name of each recipient into a list corresponding to the number of tickets in their name. (e.g., if someone bought 10 tickets for Joe Blow, I put the name Joe Blow on the list 10 times.) Then, I used the Random.org List Randomizer to randomize the list. Finally, I used the Integer Generator to randomly choose 10 different numbers between 1 and 110. I chose 10 numbers so that if there were any duplicated names, I could skip someone who already won.

Here are the numbers that were chosen in order, and I assigned them in that order to Third Prize, Second Prize, First Prize, and the Grand Prize, respectively:

Third Prize
108: Cissa Fireheart

Second Prize
84: Wayne Hall

First Prize
41: Ren

GRAND PRIZE
20: Sheila

Congratulations to the winners! I'll be sending each of you an email to confirm.

Thank you to everyone who contributed. It's only because of this raffle, the T-shirt sales, and the tickets that I'm able to throw such an amazing party and invite so many people. I truly appreciate your support!

Also, if you are going to attend, don't forget that we have discounted group rates at a hotel that is very close by, but you have to reserve the room soon.

The Halloween party is less than two months away, and you're all invited. For more information, go to the Halloween page at http://www.avitable.com/neverwas/. It has all of the details you'll need, including:

The raffle tickets! Three lucky people will win t-shirts, and one lucky person is going to win a roundtrip plane ticket to Orlando for the party. We're only 19 tickets away from selling enough tickets to give away the prize. The raffle ends in three weeks, so go buy your tickets now!

T-shirts! We have an exclusive T-shirt design by Dave2 from Blogography, along with designs by local artists, including myself. A percentage of each T-shirt sale goes to the Halloween Party fund, and gives you a chance to be a part of the hugest celebration of the year, even if you can't go!

Hotel information! We have special prices for a nearby hotel, but the rooms need to be reserved soon. There's shuttle service to and from the party, and a reserved block of rooms just for the party.

Child photos! As part of an interactive element of the Halloween photos, I need photos of you as a kid or young teen. A few people are waiting on SASEs, and those are on the way. If you want an envelope to send it to me, I'll scan it and send it right back. Otherwise, scan it and email it to me at my first name (adam) at my last name (avitable) dot com.

RSVP! I'd like to know who might be coming, so please go visit the Halloween page and use the comments on that page to let me know. It will be a big help.

If you're not interested in the Halloween party, here are two new T-shirts I designed:

Huge Announcement

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Did I happen to mention that I'm having a huge, kick-ass Halloween party that all of you are invited to attend? Well, just in case you've been living in a cave for the last three months, I have been preparing for this party since June, along with some friends. We've been building props and creating designs and getting splinters and almost cutting our fingers off and putting monkeys in boxes.

I know I've been promising an announcement with regards to the Halloween party, including the theme and some cool extras I'm doing for people who might not be able to attend. Well, I always keep my promises. Click through to get all the juicy details! (more…)
