Did I miss reading how winners will be notified today? PM? Email?

Is this contest open only to people who have met Randy? :confused:

I didn't see anything on that either, nor a time other than "after 12PM MT". Kinda hoping that, on the off chance I win, notification comes earlier rather than later, as I'd still need to secure time off. :D

Also would have to figure out hotel stuff. Wonder if you can hop the shuttle for the Novotel Orly-Rungis and walk to the Formule 1 down the street?

no - rqmts are in the announcement post

I guess I'm tethered to computer this afternoon then. I had planned to spend this gorgeous day out and about.

im the same way, bit hot out but im a waiting. looking at fares to get to jfk, i think its cheaper for me to fly to cdg from fat then try to connect to jfk to get this free flight, that is, if i win ;)

La Maison, Angelina, Mariage Freres..... :sigh:

oh well all those desserts. lets not forget about a great dinner to start. tour d'argent, taillevent, or alain ducasse

I took a quick look and could still book 2 nights at the Hilton Orly on HHonors.com with no Diamond force. (Cat 4, 60,000 points for the weekend)

I sure hope I get picked - my husband will be on a business trip and my kids are at camp, so I was trying to figure out where to go. This would make the decision so easy!!! I'm waiting...

so... all FT members could enter... but only Randy's 20 closest friends stand a chance of winning.... so why bother telling all of us about the promotion since those of us who don't know Randy obviously don't stand a chance? :confused:

I thought "closest friends" was just Flyertalk parlance for all of our community acquaintances. I know it's how I describe the folks I'll see at a Do to my family and other friends. Often, the phrase is "my xx closest friends whose names I don't know!"

But you do know our names! I'm Mr. Mpls, Ms. "C".

This is when I wish I'd actually registered WifeMpls, so she'd also have a chance at this. I guess she's going to be sitting down with my computer this weekend.

I would like to think the issue is the imprecision of the transcription of the conversation and interpretation of the written word, not a "wired" selection process.

That is, I would like to think the "20 closest friends" statement was made with a major wink of the eye to indicate that if he was ever asked by the IRS he would take the position that any subscriber to FT is one of his "closest friends".

I'm with you Mike - that's the first thing I thought of too... why didn't I register Mr. krobbins???
