CRAPCAM RAFFLE

There's an extra CrapCam (brand spanking new, in box with all the cables, incomprehensible directions and unnecessary software) in the house and I'm going to raffle it off. If you want to win, send me a picture postcard snail mail to my po box. Entries will not be accepted via the internet.

This little sucker works with both Macs and PCs. You don't need to install software. Plug it into a USB connection and it's ready to go. It takes fabulously arty photographs that have a strong vignette -- almost a digital lomo. "High resolution" is 640 x 480.

To enter, send a postcard with your name and address to:

Heather Powazek Champ
912 Cole Street, #215
San Francisco CA 94117

One postcard will be randomly selected on March 1, 2005 and I'll pay the shipping cost of sending the camera to the winner (within the US and internationally).

Yay for mice type. I guess that there needs to be the small print with any contest. One entry per postcard. If you want to submit multiple postcards, knock yourself out, but each postcard needs to be mailed individually with a stamp. Don't go stuffing a gazillion postcards into one envelope because only one will make it into the pot. Multiple postcards from the same individual need to be different, though the stamps can be the same. I prefer scenic postcards from where you live. Feel free to be a cheap bastard and grab freebies postcards if you like, it won't reduce your chances, but I won't be as happy. While the beauty of the postcards is not being judged, I reserved the right to photograph the picture side and post to my website or Flickr. Your name might be published as well, though your address will remain confidential. If the man comes knocking at your door, it's not my doing.

The CrapCam Raffle is offered and open only to legal residents of the planet Earth. Derek Powazek is not eligable as he already has his own CrapCam. This contest is void if you don't have a sense of humour. The CrapCam raffle will end when I collect our mail end of business March 1, 2005. Drawing of the winning postcard will be observed by Chieka Ciquita Banana Boom Boom Powazek Champ and Bugsley Dante Alphonso P-Pants Champ Powazek, because they pretty much keep an eye on whatever is going on in Casa Carmelita. They can only be bribed with meaty bones and rawhide chews. Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligable entries received.

Participants, (and participants parents or legal guardians if participant is a minor (both on behalf of themselves and winner), release and agree to hold harmless Heather Powazek Champ from any and all liability for any injuries, loss or damage of any kind to person, including death, and property, arising in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the CrapCam, participation in this CrapCam Raffle, or participation in any CrapCam-related activity.

The legal has to be long and boring because it's my experience that only contests with long and boring legal are worth it. If you look at any contest you'll notice that the legal is longer than the bit where they mention all the fabulous prizes -- in this instance, it's just one fabulous prize. I wish that I had deep pockets and could give you all a CrapCam. When the genie pops out of the bottle, I'll ask for CrapCams for everyone (scratch that, I don't want to have to write legal for my legal).

No lawyers were harmed in the creation of this legal nor was their advice sought. I most likely should have done that to cover my ass. If someone is going to sue me over a CrapCam then they must have absolutely nothing better to do and I'm screwed.
