What "cool contest giveaway stuff" have you scored over the years ?
Only small stuff for me - like concert tickets, cds, and movie passes from local radio stations mostly. But that has been a long time for me because of not be a radio listener for many years now. When I was only 7yrs. old, I won concert tickets for Heart in '77 by using a rotary phone...which was the fucking "hardcore" way back then wearing your fingers out FAST! having to turn that dial manually a million plus times ! My aunt chaperoned me to that concert and then to Bad Company in '79, which I also won tickets for. It was my first experience of wondering what that funny smell called "weed" was, having no idea because it was being passed around everywhere and almost even to myself. Since though, I've won other concert tickets, movie passes, and cds through radio stations. There was a syndicated radio show called Rockline that I won a couple of autograped posters by several artists/bands on each, such as by the likes of Kiss, Joan Jett, Steve Perry, Meat Puppets, Zakk Wylde and others. The one thing that I've strived to win most through the magazine giveaways and haven't still - is a complete bicycle (even a cheap one would be cool !). I have been lucky enough to win a pair of wheels, tires and grips once about 2 yrs. ago though.
So - what cool stuff have you (family members/friends even included) gotten lucky enough to score, "for free" in any giveaway/contest ?
