BLASPHEMY!! But thank you for the suggestion anyway. Patrick, I searched high and low until I found shippable chocolate. Because it's THAT important. BJ, no chocolate? BLASPHEMY!!

Patrick, I searched high and low until I found shippable chocolate. Because it’s THAT important.

If those essays are so much fun, why aren't you letting us get a glimpse of them? It also might whittle down the field just a tiny bit. Another question.

AWStats will give a pretty good indication in the referrers to a page. I bet you were either blogged or linked from somewhere high traffic and directly to that page. And I know I'm gonna get beat up by all the chocolate lovers (hell, I wanna beat MYSELF up for even suggesting it!) but it might serve your purposes a little better to revamp the contest as a "free books!" contest rather than a "free chocolate!" contest. At least then you'll attract people who actually read. Or you can do both and have one chocolate winner and three book winners. Or something.

Your film just won Best of L.A. in the 48 Hour Film Project, which I think might be just a little better than chocolate. But please do try for the chocolate again next month.
