We Are SO There!


That's right.  Oh yeah.  We have arrived...at a major blog milestone:

Twenty-five THOUSAND hits! 

Let the fireworks and the flashbangs commence.



We really owe this landmark moment to our readers, so we want to say thank you during our celebration.  How?  We have swag!

We're going to select multiple winners from among our Followers list at right >>>>>>>>> in a PICK YOUR PRIZE giveaway.  We'll select a series of names in succession and each person will be able to select their prize in the order their user name is drawn. 

Here's how it works:  If you're not already a follower of this blog, then click the "Follow" button to be added to the list in order to be eligible for our drawing.  The more followers we have, the more prizes we'll add and award.  We'll draw the first user name this coming Sunday, March 13th and continue drawing a new name each day.  All the swag winners will be given a choice of items to select from. (We must have a way to contact you within 48 hours, so if your user name isn't linked to contact info, be sure to check back or leave your email address in comments.)

We've already loaded our cargo hold with potential prizes (more may be be added during the week) including:

 A DVD set of the SF(R) television series
Defying Gravity
that I discussed in my I'm the Bucketeer! post.

who have made Spacefreighters Lounge
