How it Works

Aiight, here we go.

Snocone Frenzy! is a geographical wonderland with photos - a wonderland that lets you, the reader, have a look-see at selections from my photo library, acquired over years of travel here and about. And...not only do you get to enjoy the fabulous sites from around the world, but you can win a snocone if you correctly identify the location of the photos in each posting.

But - how, how how does it work, you cry?!?! Easy now....just take yourself a gander at the pics, read the brief descriptions in which you'll find a delicious assortment of tasty clues, and post a comment at the bottom of the page with your conclusion as to the whereabouts of the photos you've enjoyed. If you're the first to post a correct answer....a snocone of your choice is in your future! Schwing!!

With each new posting, I'll announce a winner for the previous post, give more details about the previous location, and post photos of a fabuous new location that will spin your propeller like...umm...a spinny, propeller-like thing. Woohoo!

Disclaimer: Snocone Frenzy is open to anyone, but winners should realize the following:
1. The author is located, occasionally, in Austin, Texas, USA.
2. Snocones may be claimed in Austin, or elsewhere, should the author be in the vicinity of a winner who is not in Austin.
3. The author is under no obligation to travel to a winner's locale to provide a snocone.
4. It is the winners' responsibility to coordinate snocone appropriation, whether it be in Austin or elsewhere.
5. Winners of multiple posting challenges may accrue snocone winnings, and once in excess of a bank of 5 snocones due, the author may, at his sole discretion, arrive at the winner's home with a block of ice, a shaver, and a raft of flavored syrups, whereupon a snocone making frenzy shall ensue.
6. Snocones shall be enjoyed enthusiastically, preferably resulting in a syrupy mess coating and coloring winners' chins. The author may, at his sole discretion, provide a moist towelette for removal of said mess.
7. The author reserves the right to make up more rules as the contest moves along, but always with the intent of increasing YOUR enjoyment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ok.. I think I posted my response yesterday for my snow cone but it is no longer listed. So my guess is Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Maybe on the north rim around 4:30 pm with a slight buzz.

Anonymous and Joey C - your comments are still listed under the Frenzy 1 entry. You've posted these "lost" comments under the first entry of the blog, rather than under the Frenzied entry...

What Tina don't count? what about it being Wilmington Delware?

sparkadelic said...

Too easy, cousin!
"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein..."
London, Chinatown, Lee Ho Fook's.

I'd be curious as to whether or not the restaurant is actually worth a trip-- lot's of posts claim that the waitstaff is downright unpleasant...

Peace and love,
Kathryn

p.s. Yummy lavendar snocones

p.p.s. Now I can't go back to sleep because I'm remembering Warren Zevon in the late '70s blaring in pubs down the street from Yale, leading to my demise. "Ah-oooo-wooo, werewolves of London... " and "..went home with the waitress, the way I always do, how was I to know-woh-she was with the Russians too!"

What a bunch of lyrics. What a hangover. Goodness!

I still think Ted Kennedy should be buried face down in that cemetery in Pennsylvania so he would have to eat Mary Jo Kopechne's pussy for eternity. What a hoot!
