Yesterday afternoon I'm just hanging out at my house, I smoke a small bowl, then started listening to the radio (95.5) and heard the DJ say they were going to be having a contest for their Facebook fans, "like" the page and you have a chance to win prizes. I go to their page and see a post telling me to listen all day today and when they play a Linkin Park song be the 95th caller to win two tickets and stage passes to their concert. The song playing as I'm reading that is Linkin Park...by the time I found my phone, found their phone number and dialed the next song on the radio is halfway over. So I'm thinking there's no chance I can win. It rings...rings...rings... *other end* Hello.. *Me* Hi...um..am I the 95th caller? (Thinking I have the wrong number or something...I expected to hear "This is 95.5 WBRU and you just won tickets!") Yes you are. Really!? Are you kidding me? Nah man, why would I mess with you, I don't even know you lol So I seriously won? Seriously, congratulations! No way! I don't beleive it! Well I'm not lying They had to convince me I won lol, I'm so excited to see LP tonight in Boston Me and my buddy that's coming with split a quarter, rolled up 4 fat blunts using all of it and we're going to have an awesome time!
Congrats - back in the day (the 1990's) I used to win shit off of the radio ALL the time in San Diego. I won so much stuff from 91X (The Cutting Edge of ROCK) that the prize people KNEW me. It helped that I worked for a hotel with multiple phone lines... I haven't won anything in quite awhile, but I do so love radio contests. Here in Los Angeles we are the flagship for Mark and Brian, and they do their morning trivia tests with listeners - well back in 2003 I became a 5 day champion and got to compete in the 2003 Tournament of Champions. I lost in the 2nd round to the eventual champion - but damn that was fun. In fact, I never did redeem my 5 day prize - I should still have a day where I can go into the studio and watch them do the show for an hour. In 1994 alone I won tickets to see The Who, The Stones, The Beach Boys, Jethro Tull and The Cult. The Who tickets I had to sing "My Generation" for and win a talent contest. Live on the radio. You can win, it happens all the time.
