It's friday, let's have a little fun......who's coming with me?

Many of you 'Like' the ActiveRain Facebook page. There are 7,122 of you as of writing this in fact. Significantly fewer of you 'Like' the RainCamp Facebook page, 435 of you. Page RainCamp is pretty distraught about this. He walks through the halls of ActiveRain moping like a 7th grader who just got a bad haircut from his 9th grade brother. It's not pretty, and Page RainCamp's self esteem is in the toilet.

(we know Page RainCamp is a 'he' because if a 7th grade girl actually let her 9th grade sibling cut her hair and it turned out horrible, she would certainly not be moping in the halls......it would be something much worse)

So we thought, 'how can we get page RainCamp some more attention so he's not so overshadowed by his older brother, Page ActiveRain?'

We're going to throw a party! A photo contest party! It's going to be a theme party. The haves and the have nots. You know the haves, the people of which everyone else is jealous. The people that have been to RainCamp. The people that have taken some great photos of their experience. The people that have met so many of their other ActiveRain friends in person. The people that have soaked in the knowledge of RainCamp. The haves.

But fear not, the have nots are invited too. The people that have not had a RainCamp close enough to them. The people that have not created an album in their facebook account for 'RainCamp photos'. The people that have not stared into the dreamy eyes of increased business and come away full of excitement, enthusiasm and passion. The have nots.

So here is how we are going to do this........Haves, you stand over on that side of the room, have nots you stand over here.

 

Haves:

Like the RainCamp Facebook page

Post a picture from RainCamp on the RainCamp page

In the 'write something....' section include your ActiveRain user name in parentheses and create a sentence with:
'RainCamp (City) was/is.........(fill in the blank)'

I'll give you an example: (arbob) RainCamp Dallas was the best money I ever spent to learn about online marketing.
I'll give you an example: (arbob) RainCamp Seattle is where it all started.
I'll give you an example: (arbob) RainCamp New York is still the record for the most attendees.

Get 1000 points for your picture. 500-1000 extra credit given if your sentence matches really well with your picture and/or you make us    laugh

 

Have nots:

Like the RainCamp Facebook page

Post a picture from your hometown, with you in it, that best describes why RainCamp should come visit you or captures the essence of why your town/city is the greatest.

In the 'write something.....' section include your ActiveRain user name in parentheses and create a sentence with:
RainCamp (City) would be.......(fill in the blank)'

I'll give you an example: (arbob) RainCamp Honolulu would be the longest RainCamp ever, two weeks seems appropriate.
I'll give you an example: (arbob) RainCamp Houston would be bigger than Honolulu, everything is bigger in Texas.
I'll give you an example: (arbob) RainCamp Ashford would be a bust; Ashford has a population of 73, do Seattle again instead.

Get 1000 points for your picture. 500-1000 extra credit given if your sentences is super creative and makes us laugh.

 

Every week for the next six weeks, on friday, we will pick a winner from the haves and a winner from the have nots. Each winner will be given one free six month community sponsorship to an ActiveRain community of their choosing, a $114 value.

EDITED:

Week one winners:

Haves: Debe Maxwell and TLW (great stuff, just couldn't pick a winner)
Have nots: Chris Alston and Craig Rutman

Each of you can email me a link to one community you would like to sponsor.

If you didn't get your points......it's because you didn't leave your user name as the instructions instructed (from the department of redundancy department)

~ Bob

OK, I will go and like Raincamp if I didn't like it already. I am a have not as you may have guessed. Now the question is.... where will I have my photo taken... where oh where will I do this. Next to the cows? On the tractor? Or perhaps on the army tank that sits proudly on our town green. Interesting conundrum to be sure.

I will do just about anything for points as you may be aware...

Or I could ask the Photoshop King to put me in one of my photos.....

Oh, this is rather like.... where's Waldo?

I LOVE this. As a 'Have not' I'm all about trying to lure the 'Camp into town. I won't even be picky with Fort Collins but will happily gallivant down into Denver to partake in the fun.  We still get to claim the same fresh air and ridiculous quanities of breweries, so I'm thinking our 'pull' is about equal.  Hoping to see a Raincamp here very soon!

I think I'll need to use my photo of Kerrie, the one where I walked up to the registration desk with my camera pointing directly at her.  It made me very memorable to her. :)

I would have taken a Brad photo but I never got an answer why he was coming and then not coming.  You?  Well, you had more important things to do on your honeymoon.

RainCamp was more important than a night of rest.

I traveled by car and plane, then rental,
To a conference with content that proved monumental!

With SEO's, phrases and photo tagging,
I moved up in Google (and no, I'm not bragging)
