I think that prizes could be a really great thing, as long as the emphasis
stayed on this event being for fun.  OTOH, I may simply be obsessing :-).

I'm not sure what you meant by folks liking satin, and I'm not sure I want
to, but I agree with the first part, as long as we realize we may only get
