The sad thing is, in the event that I DO finish in the Top 100, I will not be able to make the Cravings to Go Dot Com Trivia Challenge Finals at Mall of America hosted by Ken Jennings because it takes place during my upcoming California swing.
What DID I win, you ask? Well, prepare to be disappointed...
If you're not available for the finals, I would think you could designate a substitute. Now, who around here would be a suitable fill-in? (And would the chance to stay at CRZ's for free make the trip from Louisville worthwhile?)
I didn't know I was #1 OVERALL when I got that score! I'm still in the Top 5, which must mean I was under a severe case of dumb luck the first time I played. Also, I'm suspicious that all those Nolans MAY be related. ;-)
EDIT: I never DID get my emailed coupon for a free Croissonic - this will surely affect my desire to go to Sonic! (I still haven't gone, actually)
Something tells me that Ms. Nolan REALLY likes the Sonic.

I got my Croissonic coupon in e-mail, which is probably pointless since the closest Sonic is in Milwaukee, and they probably aren't participating anyway.
Yes, even these threads close too. Here's AWArulz via PM:

I got no email. Either their emails to me never arrive (probable) or 100 members of the same family passed me up (less likely). Did you beat my score, by chance? Whatever it was?
Nope. I only got like 460 or something like that. As I recall, yours was like 600 something.

I got it as well. I don't think I even made 460. If I recall, you didn't receive any coupons either, so I'd say there must have been a problem with your e-mail address in their system.
While you can preview an entire song, you can only listen to it in 25-second chunks with five-second fadeouts. After 30 seconds the preview pauses and you have to manually restart it. At least that's the case with the songs I've previewed.
