Super easy contest! Simply take a photo of either you or someone else sporting some CS wear at conference and you'll be entered into a drawing when conference is over. Please post your photos here. Remember, only photos with people wearing CS things. You must be able to see it in the photo. "CS wear" can be anything, hat, shirt, buttons, anything, make something and wear it.

Winner recieves a "The Ultimate Life that is Possible for You" CD from Gary Coxe. This is an $80 value!!

Does a CS button count?

Absolutely. It can be anything. Doesn't even have to be "official", hand make something if you want :)

Are you going to have similar contests for the other waves?

janetupnorth

07-08-2008, 01:50 PM

Yeah, I got that but want verification that it would be Tuesday the 15th.

(I'm used to kids counting sleeps vs. actual days).

Yeah, but you guys have to take pictures of:

1. Standing on your head wearing CS gear.
2. Making Doris wear CS gear.
3. Chris the Chef in CS gear.
4. CS gear down at Navy Pier.

I think whoever gets a picture of Chris in CS gear should win automatically....it has to be a good close-up, though...so we can all drool over our keyboards!

Gee-- should I take my post slut t-shirt to get a pic of Jean? How many bonus points would that get me?

Sounds to me like a drawing. That doesn't mean we can't have our own little vote for the best, though.

I wasn't...

Well, maybe I was a little, but Chris *IS* a hottie.... and all the reason some of us need to want to learn more kitchen techniques!!

3 days after Wave 1 is over ...

Greg, not to beg, but some of us are in the dark ages and still use film. (Yes my cel phone has a camera but I don't have the cable to download the pix.)

By 3 days, do you mean Wednesday or Tuesday?

My cluster is not flying home until the 13th ..

JAE

07-08-2008, 11:29 PM

I'm sure one of us can take a picture for you and enter it for you too. We aren't that competitive that we won't help you out. I won't have my camera, but I'll have my phone. I love the blue tooth technology on my computer. It's great for silly things like this! :)

Di_Can_Cook

07-08-2008, 11:33 PM

I'm wondering if I send the pix to myself ... can I then post it here???

BTW, JAE, I hope to connect with you before general session!

Di_Can_Cook

07-13-2008, 01:10 PM

Hey Greg ... someone took a pic of me ... but it may be REALLY blurry!

I told her I'd put in a good word for her ... her name is Peachey.

I'm wearing a Cheffer button for sure!

JAE

07-13-2008, 02:39 PM

I wore my CS button on Thursday and Friday. I'm bummed. I kept forgetting to have someone take my picture. More chances for others to win.

Greg, I just want you to know that I put chefsuccess.com on the back of my business card as my tip. I told quite a few people about it.

Di_Can_Cook

07-13-2008, 02:44 PM

Many people saw my button and said, "OH, somebody just told me about that site! They said it was awesome!"

JAE was wearing hers in the pix I took ... but I haven't gotten my film developed yet. Yes, I said FILM ....

Nice to see you Kasey! Your AV is a little too small for me to actually see what you look like.

My film will not be back until Wednesday ... happy winning, everyone. I'm still rooting for Peachey to post my pic here!

You should crop that picture and make yourself a new avatar of just your face...it's a great picture!

I can't download yet - at my mom's until tomorrow night. I'm lucky I'm online.

Someone (you know who you are you lurkers you...) took my picture on the HO tour...when asked what they were doing, they said they wanted to win the contest on Chef Success. One lady said she reads here over her cup of coffee EVERY morning!

You lurkers really need to come out and introduce yourselves some day! We don't bite...well a few may, but the rest of us will protect you. ;)

I met several lurkers! So funny - they would see my button and say "Oh - CS - I love that site!" and then start telling the people with them how great CS is, but they've never posted anything! It's also a strange thing to be known by people who I didn't even know existed!:eek:

Come out and say hello!!!

Those pictures were taken at breakfast. The Corner Bakery was yummy.

Hello... I'm a lurker... only because I can't get on here very often and the time difference... plus I'm still trying to figure everything out...
circles and squiggles

pm'ing (did that today for the first time ever)
sluts

so much to learn...
I do love this site and all the info I get! Thank you!

sluts term of endearment used for those who post just to get their post count higher!
ribbons The ribbons were created by Ann for all of us to wear with our CS buttons at conference.....so everyone can see our posting achievements, and so that everyone could be be-ribboned, even if they didn't get any of the PC sanctioned ribbons at Conference!:D

Ummm, yeah - I forgot my camera.....There were some people taking pictures at the MnG....Kathy'sKitchen (With a "K":p) took some, and so did Rae.....so I know there are some out there floating around, but not sure where.

My ribbon bit the dust though. The end got caught in something, and I looked down, and had a mile of blue string dangling from my CS pin!:o

chefann

07-14-2008, 08:17 PM

Oh, no! That's kinda funny, actually. :) I could have cut them with pinking shears to eliminate that problem, but that would have required FINDING the shears in my mountain of sewing stuff.

I didn't take any pictures...brought my camera but kept leaving it in the room. I think Di_can_Cook may have taken some...

(eta ... sorry, I had FRIDAY on the brain!)

I tried several times to load a picture of Rae and me and I couldn't get it to work. I did have my button on. They picture is in my album.

I don't have time to edit the size since I have to boogie to the FD for training in about 2 minutes (...am going to hate to see me that big) but here is mine at Doris' desk - my business card is sitting in the 3-tier stand:

raebates

07-15-2008, 08:18 PM

Here ya go. Only one of my photos from the MNG turned out. As you can see, the light was low, and, tech-challenged me, I forgot to adjust the camera setting. (In my defense ('cause Lord knows I need one), it's not my camera. My baby boy loaned me his.)

Note to Cheffers yet to go to NC:

Photos taken from slightly above the subject are much more flattering than those taken from below. In other words, hold your camera eye height or slightly higher. With the view screens instead of view-finders, we're tempted to hold our cameras down to take a picture. Trust me, we all look better from a slightly higher vantage point.

Then again, maybe your intention is to make your subject look just a little bad. If so . . .

Never mind.

Well GRRRRRRR!!!!

Wal-Mart lied to me.

They said BOTH my rolls of film (one from a family vacation, one from conference) would be done today. Guess which one didn't show up?

I already realize it's past the deadline, but I WANT to share my photos ... and the worrywart in me wonders if it's lost somewhere.

They say they'll be there tomorrow ...
