When you return from your wonderful WoC party, may I suggest that it could be a good idea to change the title of this thread? I think if you put something at the beginning like "Contest Over," that would be helpful. Many times I've had the thought that it might be misleading to people who just now stumble upon the thread and think it's still an active contest.
Or, another suggestion would be if you want to make this one big general contest thread (for multiple contests) you could change the title to reflect that. In that case, there may be other contests posted here that extend beyond just California residents so it would be good to change the title for that reason too.
Whenever I post threads about contests, I will put a "Contest Over" or something similar in the title when the entry period ends.
I hope you're having a fantastic time at the WoC party tonight!!
