Quick post to say a big group THANK YOU to everyone who was part of Lollapuzzoola this year. Whether you played online or in person, whether you’re getting the puzzles tomorrow or a week from now, whether you wrote puzzles, edited puzzles, worked backstage, worked offscreen, worked on screen, did grading, Google Tickets, ordered lunch, or just walked up to Brian, Sid, and Brooke, and said “hey, this is fun!” —
WHOEVER YOU ARE, we thank you from the bottomest parts of our collective hearts. It was so rewarding and fulfilling to get back into a room with all of you again, and we are eternally grateful for your good cheer, your solving prowess, and your support for our wacky little Saturday in August.
If you haven’t yet enjoyed the Lollapuzzoola puzzles — it’s not too late! You can still order a set, which will come via email in the form of PUZ and PDF files. It’s the full slate of tournament puzzles, the tiebreaker, the rehearsal puzzles, plus the two meta suites. Click the BUY NOW button below to get a complete set for just $20.
Keep an eye on your email — you’ll get something from the name Lollapuzzoola and the email address client@e-junkie.com. If you don’t see your email right away, search your spam or trash for that address.
Thanks for being a part of Lollapuzzoola!
Howcdo you find the scores?
Hi Brian, Well done.
Congrats on your amazingly successful event.
We have a similar event. The 10th Annual Finger Lakes Crossword Competition on September 24th
It’s an annual fundraiser for Tompkins Learning Partners, a non-profit organization dedicated to offering a variety of free adult literacy programs in Ithaca/Tompkins County, NY
Our registrations are currently very low. The board member I’m working with is freakin’ out.
Any promotional advice you might be able to share with us would be greatly appreciated.
Is there any chance you might be willing to loan, or sell, your Lollapuzzoola email list?
We’ve got some celebrity constructors (including Will Shortz) who have been helping us out, but that’s not increased registrations much.
If you have a moment please check out CrosswordCompetition.com
Thanks Much
Michael Rider
Hi Brian,
re: CrosswordCompetition.com
— I stupidly asked if you would loan or sell us your email list. Jeeez Leweeeze, what was I thinking? Hit the Undo button.
— Would you, instead, possibly consider forwarding something for us?
