Yes, we will repeat on July and August.
Some Gloomy Gus sorts are already predicting failure - I wonder if they're the same ones who predicted 48 hours ago that we wouldn't reach 40K by Sunday noon EDT

Pentax Contests are DOOOOOOOMED?

Violin "music".
I'm not good at improvising, and I'm sadly not the guy who picks up a fiddle at a pub, spills a whole lot of beer on it and then proceeds to entertain the jolly gathering of merry folks with some uptempo bluegrass or fast jig.
I'm definitely not looking down on those skills, it's only that I mainly read music while I play.
On a more light note, at weddings we often get to play fun things like Thunderstruck, Moonlight shadow (complete with the two guitar solos in double stops

), Your Song etc. etc.

Cool, I strum the guitar!

If I played violin, I'd probably play along the lines of celtic fiddle music. But I don't. I play bagpipes.
With bagpipes every single piece is memorised, I can't think of another instrument where one never sees a performer sheet music.

On electric guitar it's memorized. Lyrics and melody sung are memorized. On drums it's memorized.
I've never seen sheet music at a rock concert except when there's an orchestra. It just depends. Both things work.

Any predictions on how low the post count will be on the 30th, and how high it will be on the 1st, when the next giveaway starts?

Somewhere I posted about saving your posts until next month when the next giveaway contest starts. Then when this round of contests is over. withhold all your posts until Adam gives in and starts a new set of contests. Can I be detained by the OLP (0n-Line-Police) for inciting to internet mischief?

I don't think following common sense is unlawful.

So, you're also screening against your list of eligible persons?

You are guessing for this month's contest then. This thread was for the one held in June.

**Mccsiz** · 07-28-2018, 07:17 PM

OOPS, ha ha. Too late, right? I think I missed the July Give-Away too!

Even if you were to guess the correct amount you won't win anything, you have to have 10 posts this month to be eligible for one of the raffles then you have to be lucky enough to get your post in the first 75 in one of four raffles.
