ETA: Here's something I'm curious about. Given that we're radio geeks, I imagine we've all won a prize or two on the radio. What's the best thing you ever won on a radio contest? I know what mine is, but I want to hear what you all have won first.
Hrm, let me dig up the file...
Well, there was the time in 2009 when KFOG was heavily advertising for the SF Opera, and my wife really wanted to go but I was kind of meh. When they announced they'd be giving away tickets all week on the Morning Show, and when the first couple of days it seemed really easy (not much demand?), I called in for an operatic spelling bee, and won! (Ok, maybe with a *little* help from Google.)
Alas, babysitting drop off in Alameda took a while, so we got there late and had to stand in the back for the first half, but during intermission we met up with Webster, his wife and the other winners, and enjoyed the rest of the performance from pretty good seats. Pretty sweet.
Back when the Kaboom was still called that, won tickets on Kaboom cruises two years in a row, and then the Deck. That was pretty nice. Rodrigo y Gabriela private concert was sweet.
Oh, and last year, Glady really wanted to see Corinne Bailey Rae at the Greek, but headliner Norah Jones, not so much. Ok, let's win tickets then. Done - Row 3.
Sometimes it's too easy, especially if it's not a typical KFOG artist. Also won Imogen Heap from Kelly Ransford's Side Show, and we've won stuff from Rosalie on Acoustic Sunrise too. Low demand hours, so better chances.
