HEAR YE, HEAR YE!!!!
ANNOUNCING THE FIRST GET OUT OF LIFE ALIVE CONTEST EVER!!!
GUESS THE NUMBER OF RECORDS IN MY COLLECTION
This past week, I have been on vacation, and instead of dipping my toes in the cool ocean waters or burying myself up to the neck in sand, I decided to make a record database of all my lp's!! It took a solid week, but I have finished.
And now, I'm going to give you the chance to win great, fabulous prizes!!
Here's the rules:
1. Take out your abacasses and calculators and try to figure out how many records are in my entire collection.
2. Go into comments and enter your best guess along with your name (nicknames are fine if I know you by that nickname...example, I know who Big Country is so that is acceptable. However, I DO NOT know anyone by the nickname of bigjugsluver, so don't use that nickname!! Ok, I can probably bet that would also be Big Country, but give me a break and put down your name, ok?)
3. Whoever is closest wins a FABULOUS PRIZE (fabulous prize as yet undetermined).
4. ONE GUESS PER PERSON
That's it!! So, please take a second and make a guess. I will have this contest open through the end of the week, and winners will be announced with a special blog on Monday, September 25th.
Feel free to ask any questions (except How many records are there?) and I will try to help answer them.

Jean
i say 1890
Can I ask how wide a section of the shelf is (one box)?
Wyatt Knox says, "3 Billion!!" I know you said only one guess per person, but I would also like to guess 2666. Jaime, stop trying to get hints!!
I would like to "Price-Is-Right" Wyatt and guess 2,667. No really - I guess 1152. I have taken time to do some imaginary math, and that is my flittering, floating, glittering calculation. Peace and love.
Okay, I'm guessing 967.
769

Great guesses so far guys and gals!! Hey, Kirk...for the record, I had a GREAT time cataloging the massive collection!! LP's rule, CD's drool!! (Ok, CD's are cool, too!!)
Freaky say:

1335 is my guess, but I'm really seriuos when I say you need some help man, I can't imagine having that much free and ... guess it's better than 7 per day though! Need to talk some halloween plans soon, asta.
Do the rules include the closest w/o going over or just the closest???? Anyway, my best guess is 1298. Let me know when I can pick up my prize......

Just to be clear, my contest is like a closest to the pin golf shot...it can go past the hole, but if you are the closest, you still win!! I would feel bad if someone was closest but went over.
Tony:
Greetings. My final answer is: 1,243.
What fun to be the DJ at your place! Have a great day.

I'm going to guess that there are about 75 records per square and there are 30 sqares and then the player in the middle. That would make my guess about 2325 records. Yeah, that sounds good.

I hope this only comes up once on the comments. I have had one heck of time getting on my Internet and as soon as I go to publish my comment, I lose connection! I guess that is what I get for waiting until the last minute. So after much frustration with my computer and Internet and much thought and consideration over how many records are in your collection I say 1092.
I am going with 3,000. Sue
