This contest may prove more difficult than I had originally envisioned, what with the TSA cracking down on paper (which I believe can be set on fire) in carry-on luggage
It's very stressful to travel by air these days, what with airports doing their darnedest to make it seem like terrorists are more likely to be foiled by security screenings than by, oh, surveillance by law enforcement. What better way to make your flight more pleasant than by entering a silly contest that has a trivial prize? All you have to do is send me a photo of yourself holding a copy of Snakes on a Sudoku...on a plane. Like so:
Feel free to dramatize the moment if you wish:
If exactly one person sends me such a photo -- congratulations! You win! If more than one person sends me a photo, I will pick my favorite. The winner will receive a copy of a blank CD in a CD case, with a CD cover that has these songs listed on it. I have no idea what will happen if you put that blank CD into a stereo. Probably nothing, but you never know. Contents ends in...oh, let's say a month. (Photos will almost certainly be posted here, so try not to make it obvious in the photo if you're also smuggling drugs on the flight or something.)
(Obligatory buy-the-book links: B&N, Amazon.)

Because the first photo is not dramatic at all.

It's the thought that counts.
Posted by: ishotfrancis at August 14, 2006 07:10 PMIs there an end date for this contest? Because I'm probably not going to be on a plane in the next couple of weeks...
Posted by: CC at August 15, 2006 02:01 PMAnnoying, because I did in fact fly yesterday and today, but couldn't find a copy. Tell Waldenbooks in Chicago to order it. Maybe next time...

Posted by: Jim Schraven at August 16, 2006 04:23 PMI've purchased a copy of the book for my Sudoku-addicted hubby for his birthday next month. I'm planning to give it to him early, just before we get on the plane for a week in California. I'll remember to have my camera at the ready.
It's Snakes...on a Sudoku...on a Plane!
