RE: 🏆 #GooglyPrize 👀 A brief History, some Updates and a few Tips for Winning 📢
I read and upvoted this post a few days ago, it's awesome reading through #googlyeyes history (and being shout-outed-to, thanks!) so I'm still a bit hesitatant to post a comment... :)
Seeing how #googlyeyes has grown is just plain awesome - amazeballs as you would describe it! It's what you've made out of it, so kudos! Even if, back then, it felt like
plankton experience
it sure was fun enough for me (joined June 2017) to join along and get some traction going on steemit. I didn't keep up (life, you know), but it's the one contest I'm looking out for every week, even I'm not participating anymore! (But I'll be back!)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: kudos to you for putting in the effort, week after week! Even if a copycat would try to take this over, I bet they'd quickly go bananas because of the workload. And even with that you're giving away every last penny of it. #Googlyon @fraenk!
(I was going to post a pic of a new #googlyeyes - but it seems I forgot to take that pic, and they're already on their way to you... I hope they're still stuck on the painting... Let me know, ok!?)
Going to the mailbox definitely made my day today. My neighbours probably thought "what's that crazy guy up to again" when they heard me squeaking in joy and taking pictures of my mailbox.
To be honest, I did expect you to put some #GooglyEyes in there, I expected them somewhere on the packaging actually. I would have been almost disappointed if you didn't include any... hehehe... but where you put then and the fact that they'll stay right there to live on with the many other Googlies at my place... perfect!
Now what I didn't expect was to find Lucius in there, too! OMG @marty-art... you're the best!
It would be awesome to see another Googly from yourself for the prize, too. You did kind of send me a serious bribe already today... but hey, I'll stay neutral... you can't corrupt me! But since you're an avid story teller and you've got a curious eye, you'd probably ace this either way anyway.
Haha, I didn't expect the package to arrive this soon, I only put it in the mail last Friday, awesome you got it so quickly!
Yep, the googlyeyes on the painting were going to be my next entry, but I checked both of our camera's and guess I forgot to actually make a pic :P
Glad they stuck through the packing and shipping, hahaha! My first thought was to stick them to the back but they would never be visible, to to the side they went :)
And, yes, Lucius is yours too, man. For the record, and for the blockchain, I had to rig that contest so you were the winner, as I knew Lucius was heading your way. So feel free to write it at the back: Lucius, the Daydreaming Beachcomber from Skull Island. And I here apologise to the other entrants: this was destined to be your victory.
But no more rigging from now on, and I don't expect any from @googlyprize either. Just a pic for the blockchain would be nice, as it seems I just... plainly forgot to take one :D
hahaha... what... foul play! heh... I'll just pretend I didn't read that part.
And yeah... I might actually make a post to show off my latest art acquisition. I'll let you know when/if that happens ;)
That would be cool, but don't feel obliged! I really should've taken that pic myself, feel kinda bummed by it :-/
If you do, include your pic of my googlyeyes for uhm... whose entry exactly? :P
hah... you wish... nah, I'm not letting you off that easy... go make your own entry and it better be a good one :P
but I will dedicate a seldom blog by @fraenk to you, maybe tomorrow, I have to hang it up first.
Allright, fair enough about the entry!
