Donna, I can't wait to see what you guys cook up for me. :-)

Kristin, put it on your list! My girl! BTW, kudos and congrats on your wedding, sweetie. :-)

LOL @ Sally. :-)

Looking forward to it Barb. :-)

Steve, you can take the easy path or go on the road less traveled. :-)

Liz, you could always go straight up historical if you like. :-)

Thank you, Paddy. I adore this place.  The kids love coming here as well. :-)

Ann, you have soooo gotta come back and visit. Seriously! :-)

Richard, my love, it's in the title of the post (LOL).

TLW, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind (LOL). ;-) Mama, you can do anything you want. Seriously! We're your bay-bays. Think of it as showing us virtual wee one how to get 'er done. :-D

Thank you, Carole. I love the fact that Flushing Meadows has so many historical plaques available to describe the gifts we were given regarding this event.

Jeff, the deadline for submissions is Saturday May 2. :-)

Elizabeth B, you don't need any experience. Just pick a spot in your neighborhood that's a landmark and take some shots and chat about it and the area that puppy is located in. Do it your way. Give me a peek into what you see when you travel around your neck of the woods. Go hyper-local and show me something I don't know. Believe me, there's a lot I do not know and haven't seen. Teach me. Show me. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Eye candy is in the eye of the beholder.  :-)

LOL @ Lane. I am soooo not touching that. BTW, Mikey now has a cool aid grin (LMAO). ;-)

Thank you Jennifer, looking forward to it. :-)

Liz, Landmarks is the theme. You get to pick what ever you can cover. You choose. :-)

C-Sally-C, looking forward to seeing what ever you cook up. :-)

Frank and Sharon, I am looking forward to it as well. :-)

John N, very cool. I love Robert's pics of the area and can't wait to see your take on this subject in L.V. :-)

Roland, I must admit I kinda wanna see the great watermelon (LOL). Work it in, bay-bay! Maybe your fruit can wear a hat and host the landmark tour (LOL). Yes, people, you may have lots of fun with it. Don't be shy! You can do alot with PG if you try. Seriously! ;-)

Oh my word, I owe a lot of people responses to their comments (LOL). I've been running around filming like crazy and have got to catch this post up. 

Michael, if I simplify the rules then the growth of the other groups wouldn't be contributed to. It's fun including the smaller to medium sized groups as partner contest hosts. Making one group a mandatory post and a couple of others optional contributes to more membership activity for us all. People usually post in their regular group lists, so if they want to play, they have to potentially expand their group list to possibly include the one or two they have never heard of or posted to if it is a mandatory post requirement. Then there is the link love involved (LOL) :-)

Janice, I do hope you will enter. :-)

Sarah G, eye candy is in the eye of the beholder. You can not screw up. :-)

Sharon T, looking forward to it! ;-)

Russell, have lots of fun with it. :-)

Rebecca G, sometimes that worries me (LOL). We have such a hard time judging these puppies because so many people contribute such good stuff. :-)

Melissa Z, I bet if you just made a small list of things to do from the rules you'd have a stellar outline. It's a lot easier than people think if they get past Wordy C. (LOL)

Matt is in! Awesome! ;-)

Sharon is coming out to play. Yay! 

Com on, Tammy. I know you're gonna cook something interesting up. You're one of my bay-bays! ;-)

Jeanette, are ya' kidding me? You have Disney!!! (LOL) You also have some stellar mansions. Really nice old estates... Hmm... what to do indeed. ;-)

Connie, I am a happy camper. Anticipation... (Yup. It's true. I'm singing the song - LOL) :-)

Christianne, come on over to the eye candy side, sweetie pie. I bet if you hang out with us long enough you will never blog the same again (LOL). :-D

Cindy J, I shall be awaiting your entry. :-)

Robert, the rules are window dressing (LOL).

William J, I am running out the door but I shall e-mail you when I get back.

Russ R, I bet you can. :-)

Sandy C, do what you do lovely! Post away! :-)

JL, I hope this is the one. Lots of nice points up for grabs. :-)

Yay! An entry! Very cool.

C-Sally-C, my group e-mail has a mind of its own. It doesn't work, then it works late (LOL).

Robert, I hope you have time to snap a few shots of something today. If enough people bug us about an extension we'll have to consider it. I hate empty contest slots. Seriously! It's a waste of points... We want to be fair but we want the people who get theirs in on time not to be compromised as well. We'll just have to see how the day progresses. Please see if you can get your entry in. :-)

Thank you, Gary. This should be very interesting. People are filling up my e-mail with questions (LOL). I may have to post another post just to answer them all. :-)

Hi William. I sent you an e-mail (LOL). Check your in-box. Looking forward to checking out your entries. :-)

Robert, I got the link. Thank you: http://localism.com/blog/nj/park_ridge/posts/1056324/Park-Ridge-New-Jersey

Yay! We've got video! Thank you WJW! :-)

Liz, I am having the most fascinating time reading my e-mail regarding this (LOL). Seems they forgot they had a week to get 'er done. :-)

Thank you, Gary. This should be very interesting. :-)

Jeff, awesome! Glad you could make it. :-)

Donna, my love, you can always add photographs to the montage if you need more visuals to fill up the minimum time. Unless, of course, you're talking about being over five minutes (LOL). :-)

Sally, looking forward to it. :-)

Robert, next time will be sooner than you think (LOL).

Heather, you are not too late. I've had six e-mails about people not being able to post (receiving error messages). We talked it over and decided not to penalize anyone who is trying to get their entry in. The deadline is extended one day to midnight tomorrow. I clicked the Localism links and got "this page has moved" messages (LOL).

C-Sally-C said VIDEO!!!!!!! Yay! I love video! (LOL)

Nothing makes me more crazy than to see that page. Error 404 is back playing havoc with my contest (LOL). The nerve of the server. How can you not find my bay-bays? Now I can't watch my movie because I have to answer a bunch of e-mail. I figured I'd nip it in the bud by posting the documentation here.

Yes. The server kicked my bay-bays out.

Yes, we are extending it for one more day until midnight.

Yes, you do have time to post.

No, I am not entertaining complaints regarding the judges deciding to let people post. THAT'S why we have multiple judges. Five heads are better than one and if three can agree then that's the end of the story. I'm sure if the other two were still on-line we'd have five in agreement. As it is, you can thank Mafia Wars for three of us being awake in Facebook. In my case, you may also want to thank the Minion Blur, which is why I am still playing Mafia Wars, Sorority and Farm Town  (LMAO). ;-)

Get your entries in people! This may or may not be maintenance issues. I sent yall a group e-mail and updated the contest post to get your attention. Gotta get back to my game. Will be peeking in and updating the blog roll with your links for the next few hours. :-)

Donna, I shall try an help you with that. I'm getting a bit of error e-mail updates and now have nine to answer. Seems I have quite a few last minute entries that are trying to work while the platform is going through a few late night adjustments (LOL). I'm sure we'll have your Localism link all done in a few. The Mixpo dashboard is linked into the AR dash, just like Localism. We will sort it all out in the end. :-)

My girl! Donna, I'm updating the Localism link right now. :-)

John Novak's Localism Link: http://localism.com/blog/nv/henderson/lake_las_vegas/posts/1060041/Club-Chaos-Eye-Candy

Sally, Localism is giving us a run for the money tonight (LOL). Here is where your post link should be:

http://localism.com/blog/ca/fair_oaks/posts/1060257/Fair-Oaks-Video-Tour

I will add it to the blog roll. :-)

John, awesome! I have your Localism link posted. We going to have a grand time sorting through these. There are a lot of stunning shots in your post. So many people are giving us a run for our money. This will be a tough one to judge.  :-)

Connie, this is your Localism link: http://localism.com/blog/tn/nashville/nashville/posts/1060597/The-Loveless-Cafe-and

The Green Queen is in! Yay! I shall be updating the blog roll in a couple of hours. I've got to go show a few houses and notarize a loan signing. :-)

JaneAnne, very cool views. Love the Gone with the Wind quote. MM certainly got that one right (LOL).

Morning bay-bays. I shall update the blog roll. Thank you for the entries. :-)

Kate, the next one will be sooner than you think (LOL).

Lisa, save that footage. The next one is around the corner and down the block, so start editing that puppy (LOL). Will we be doing landmarks again? Maybe... Give me two weeks to chat with the boss of me (LOL) If Melodious is up to it, so am I. BTW, Localism has been very interesting this weekend. ;-)

Erik, glad you got that puppy in. ;-)

Yay Richard! ;-)

Linda is on the house! :-)

Kari, my love, good to see you're in. :-)

Hellooooo Frank and Sharon. Glad to see you made it. :-)

Connie, you "got it" sweetie. :-D

Hey Silvia, very cool. ;-)

Donna, there's an update for the plug in for the Firefox browser. Mine gets a little hinky once in a while as well. I like the Mozilla better, so I try to avoid IE unless I need the MLS (LOL).

Laura, lovely to see your entry. Glad you made it. :-)

We're all up and I have to finish editing the contest roll with the links. You guys did a lovely job, so yeah, we're freaking out trying to pick the winners (LMAO). ;-)

I may not sleep much tonight... :-)

Okay, okay, okay (LOL).

BIG APOLOGY TO DONNA. I mixed up the photography and video links. My bad. Fixed them. :-)

Okay, we're gearing up for the next one at the end of the month. Subject: Vacation/Area Events. We will also be doing the Landmarks contest again. Right after the Vacation version. If you missed your deadline for this one, don't chuck your preliminary work. Round two will be coming up for you very shortly. BTW, I want more video!  :-)
