The Winners of The Blog World Expo Passes

How one lazy bum made $176,697.50

Blog World Expo

Hey everyone! Sorry for posting this so late on Saturday but I had a pretty busy day with Dot Com Pho, Twestival Local and a BBQ with my next door neighbors. Anyway, here are the winners of the six Blog World Expo passes.

Grand Prize Full-Access Pass Winner: Worth $895

Congrats to Adria Richards of But You’re a Girl for winning the grand prize. Adria won the full-access pass by offering to hug 500 people while at Blog World. This I have to see!

I’ve done calculations. If I divide the 500 hugs equally over 3 days, I need to hug 167 people each day. If I divide that into 3 hours of full on hugging, I need to hug 1 person every minute.

Weekend Pass Winners: Worth $395 each

The two weekend pass winners are Coree Silvera of Market Like a Chick and Jami Gibbs of American Babble. Congrats to you both!

Exhibits-Only Pass Winners: Worth $75 each

I’ll see you guys on the show floor. It’s going to be a blast!

john,
when you will held the same competition

It just occurred to me that I have no idea how to claim my pass. What's the procedure, John?

You should have received an email from BlogWorld about it. Check your email for it and if you don't have it, let me know.

Nope. Didn't receive it. Can they resend? I'll keep an eye on my spam folder too.

Congrats to all the winners! Looking forward to meeting you at one of the best blogging events of the year.

Congrats to the winners! See you all in Vegas!

Thanks a bunch, John. Congrats to the other winners. I can't wait to meet you all!

Congrats to all the winners, have a wonderful time for all of us who can't attend.

Great I am seeing many lucky faces here. Great to see people smiling and yes hugging.

John,

Wow! I saw the email this morning and lost my breath to see I had won! I am so happy because meeting people at blogging conferences has truly changed my life. I now look forward to connecting with others, going to events in real life (IRL) and of course, blogging!

First thing I'm doing is contacting Threadless to see if they will make "FREE HUGS" t-shirts!

Thank you!!!!

So you are the lucky Girl. GOod luck. Well inform us when you have that Free Hugs on

Congrats for the winners. If the Adria would hug a person every minute then I hope she got some strength left for blogging when she goes back to her hotel room.

Yahoooo!!! Thanks so much, John!! I am so excited at this great opportunity and look forward to meeting you and so many others at Blogworld!!

Congrats to all the other winners as well! We owe each other at least a couple drinks...oh and of course...a HUG!! :)

Yipee!!

Congratulation Coree...hope you'll have great time there!

Thanks Benjamin! I'm sure it will be the best.

Now I'm just debating if I should be the extra diligent student that goes back to her room, cleans up notes, blogs a bit & immediately sends out emails to new acquaintances....or cut loose a little and enjoy Vegas!

Hmmmm....I think this year it will be all about learning. Maybe next year I'll be at the point where I can goof off a little. I'm determined to make this a turning point!

I would hug too, can I get a ticket?

congrat to all winner . hope you all enjoy the prize and pray for me to be the next winner....lol

Thanks John.... Wow, I'm excited!
