OMG Steph! ROFLMFAO!
Here's my past experiences...
I was twelve...won tix to my very first concert...Spectrum, Philly..."dance concert" (no seating arrangement...first come, grab a fuckin seat or part of the floor)...Headliner's-The Guess Who...first up-an all girl group called Fanny (we're talkin 1970ish)...next in line before main band-Jose' Feliciano
^^^Blew my mind and I am still in love with The Guess Who to this day!
Another time (more recently...1997) I tried to win tix to Cabo San Lucas. I had to make a tape of me (and my band, if I had one) singing an original version of an old song with the name of the D.J. in it and how bad I wanted to go to Cabo. I did an acappella version of Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz"...
"Oh John (John DeBebella...the D.J.) won't you send me to Cabo San Lucas. The weather in Pa. is causing lots of mucous (HEY...You rhyme that?????...and it was winter!)...it goes on, but I'll spare you all...lmfao!
Anyway...they played tons of entries and someone called and complained that they seemed to be playing more men than women and that they all seemed professional. Well...on my B-day in 1997...on the radio for all my friends and family to hear...they played my tape and I was working and listening and took my headphones off and shoved them on a girl working next to me and asked her who she thought that was. She was stunned...couldn't guess. I said it was me and to this day she swears I was lying. The voice was good...you smoke...it couldn't have been you. I sang it for her personally...she still thought I was full o shit. Hmmmmmmmmm!
NOPE! I didn't win...but I was on the radio, on my B-day...and the chick next to me at work and I were the only peeps I know that heard me! FUCK!!!!!!!!
OK...I'm done!
