Rhodiadrive contest
November 19th, 2007 07:11:37
Submit a photo of a store where you buy your Rhodia stuff. Sorry, no online stores apply. The photo could be a store facade, the store interior, or a window display showing Rhodia products, a picture of yourself with the staff, or the store bag containing the products. Be creative.
The photo/s should be in jpeg format, sent to: rhodiadrive [at] gmail [dot] com. The following info should be included with the photo submission:
- Your full name and email (please indicate if just a nickname should be posted)
- The mailing address of the store (no PO boxes please)
- Description of the photo or tell us about the experience
Each valid submission gets a Rhodia product. We’d like to avoid multiple submissions from a single store, so unless we find your photo particularly appealing, it’s first-submitted, first-accepted per store.
From the entries, we will be selecting two (2) picks of the month as winner of the surprise prizes.
This contest is open to everyone, but only continental US residents will get the automatic entry freebie. International submissions will still qualify for the drawing of the suprise prizes.
Submissions will be published and geotagged at our Flickr group for the benefit of our readers who want to know where to get Rhodia products locally.

About time soneone picked up Rhodia in Australia. It is a quality pad/notebook wilderness here. Thankfully I get great service online from Pendemonium but surely an Australian agent can’t be too far away?

Apology accepted but in no way required. Still loving your site. Just got a friend to bring in 10 notebooks from Art Brown, NY to Sydney, Australia.
Two Steves can’t be wrong. I hear you, sorry for the misuse.
Steve is right about “wherefore.” It doesn’t mean “where” in any language. I love the site but you’ve got to change the graphic because it’s just plain wrong. Sorry.
I saw this on Monday and thought heck there is no wherer in this area that sells Rhodia pads. Then on Tuesday I had to make a trip to Danville, IL on the way home from there we always stop on the campus of University of Illinoi as a place called the Art Coop. It is a quaint little art store and I walked in and there greeting me was a full rack of Rhodia pads. I was so takem back by them being there and Dang, me with no camera on me! ! ! Dog gone and was sure looking forward to one of your give away pads. :>) I been wanting a # 38. Will just have to hope I get to make another trip to the UofI before this “contest” is over.
Happy Day, Norm,

I would love participate, but here in Brazil unfortunately he don´t have store that sell blocks or Rhodia notebooks.
I plead complete ignorance about this, Steve. Thanks a lot for enlightening me!
But it’s too late to change the poster and the banners now, so I’ll just go by its modern, albeit improper usage, and hope our readers won’t mind.
Um, I don’t mean to be a pedantic bore, but “wherefore art thou” is not a question of location. As used in Romeo and Juliet, when Juliet asks “Wherefore art thou Romeo,” she is not asking “Where are you Romeo,” but “Why, or for what reason, are you Romeo” (as opposed to some other name, leading to her famous line, “That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet”). Since this Elizabethan usage has disappeared from the modern vernacular, “wherefore art thou” has become entrenched in the modern mind as a question of “where are you.”
