I am surprised to see it absolutely NOWHERE so far.
It's only available on Bev Vincent's twitter account.

Stephen King wants you to help him build his empire: http://www.stephenking.com/other/stephens_empire/

Dude!! You're in - go get a picture and be ready to submit!!!

[Brice]

Maybe I should take a pic of the Exit 19-Tower Road sign. :orely: What's the deadline for this thing?

[turtlex]

Brice - I think it's going to be an open, on-going thing... at least that's how I read it. But submissions aren't accepted until mid-July.

It give you some prep-time!

Yeah i think i will take the dog up there on my luch hr friday, i have to take her to work with me!

[Hannah]

Oh man. I'll have to keep my eye out for this kind of stuff. We have King Soopers already ... but that may be too easy.

edit: well the yellow pages made that little task easy. Who could have known how many businesses out there started with King ...

[herbertwest]

So, did i understand well by the fact that it have to be pix of something related to King?
Like... Burger King, condoms King Size, the King train station in London... whatever that have "king" in the name, kind of.

right?

[turtlex]

King ... or Stephen, yeah. That's how I read it.

[mae]

Or really anything dealing with King's works.

I have Kings butchers. Do you think its limited to so many pictures each?

[Bev Vincent]

My Road to the Dark Tower editor found a barbeque place called The Dixie Pig. A photo of that would be awesome.

King is a very common name in Scotland. There are thousands of business places with King in the name.

Walking down King Street, there is:
King's Bar x 2
The King's Highway
King's Links Golf Centre
King's Office Solutions
King's taxis

Where does it end?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

There's Kings everywhere you look :pullhair:

Living in England I could cover King's Cross if I wanted (although I rarely go to that station). But at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man I find myself reading the article and thinking..."Why?"

[herbertwest]

Its officially started yesterday

[Nerak]

And runs through Sept 3rd

[herbertwest]

I'll try to hook us up with one of those...we have a local one here.

In the meantime...check this out!

By the way Bev, I LOVE YOUR BOOK ▲ "The Road to the Dark Tower"...

Gage Park in Topeka, Kansas is a city park of 160 acres (0.65 km2). It was established in 1899 and is one of the largest parks in Topeka. It features the Topeka Zoo, a miniature train, an outdoor theatre and the Reinisch Rose Garden:rose:.

If anyone is near Topeka this would be great! Sadly I'm way too far away.:clap:

[pathoftheturtle]

I'm so bummed: There's a place here which had a prominent sign called "Roland's Retirement Club." I guess that wasn't P.C. enough, though, because they changed the sign to "Independent Living Club" a little while before this contest started. Sure wish I'd taken a photo sooner.

[herbertwest]

50 pix have been selected...

http://www.stephenking.com/other/stephens_empire/

That's kind of crap : i dont remember reading that the pictures entrance will stop so soon. I was expecting the 18th of september, and was gonna take a picture this week end :s

[mae]

I like the one with Crimson King Tr. and STOP :)

[turtlex]

How's it been over there, Jean? It looks like hell from what I've seen.

A truly disturbing video from somewhere in rural Russia:

YouTube- The Beginning of Fire in Tamboles Village in Russia (Scary) (With Subtitles)

[Jean]

Thank you for caring, pablo! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

It is hell, and has been for a whole month. Fuck, fuck, fuck, I had such plans for this summer, all connected with our site!

But at least there's no fire here, and we're alive

/off topic

[herbertwest]

that video is so creepy!

[DanishCollector]

hmm I saw a sinister-looking van yesterday (a red one) with the legend: THE KID on it...
