JerseyGirl2,

Contestants' posters were photographed yesterday and contest organizer contact information given to them if they were not regular attendees of "Rock of Ages". (Almost all of the posters in contention for a prize were created by regular attendees recognized by TPTB, cast and/or those associated with the contest, so asking names were, for the most part, unnecessary.)

If there had been a prize-worthy poster without an artist attached, the powers that be would simply post a photo of it a la "putting a face on a milk carton" to identify it.

There are always ways of identifying people! :)

And btw, JerseyGirl2, thanks for entering! Sorry the t-shirt guy was mocking you!

>>so asking names were, for the most part, unnecessary

Interesting way to run a contest.
But I have seen how they run contests.-LOL

>>Sorry the t-shirt guy was mocking you!
Good thing I'm not insecure-LOL

Those were my top 3 too.
I knew I had good taste.

I just think it looks weird. Usually, acronyms are used to be more efficient, but it just looks like "nine hundred twenty-five" or "nine twenty-five". "9-5" makes more sense and is the same number of keystrokes as "925".

It doesn't make a difference. It just doesn't really work as a cutesy trendy acronym. It's "nine twenty-five". It's like referring to September eleventh as "911" instead of "9/11". Nine to Five is "9 to 5", "9-5" or even "9-2-5", but not nine hundred twenty-five or the abbreviated nine twenty-five. It ain't fetch.
