_ _ _ _ / E _ _ S / _ E _ _

This week alone set a new season-high of $307,740 cash and prizes!
Had that happened, we've could gotten a total of $94,860 given away in the maingame alone!
Awesome puzzle though, a great song from a great band with a great ice cream/food franchise ;D (too bad NY doesn't have any).
You can't just wait until Pat says how much of each letter there is to cheer. The top dollar value stands out among the rest of the wedges for a reason. And don't be like "Ah, whatever" when somebody has over $10K and LATs...(and thanks, sound crew, for using the fake "aww" again in tonight's BR...). Joacen, I really hope your shows weren't as subdued as this. The 6th show for this week is not going to sound pretty...But at least they were enthused by the amazing win stats for the week. 
That sure was a hefty total thanks to those two Kia wins.
