I know! Someone out there has to have this! Or was it just a marketing tool?

I have little faith in the true randomness of these types of contests.  I had a buddy who worked marketing for one of the larger Ski Resorts in Tahoe.  Every time I'd come to Tahoe he'd have lift passes waiting for me at the front office.  And they usually said something like 'San Jose Home and Garden Expo drawing winner'.  All these peeps at the home and garden show filling out an entry form to win free left tickets, yet I magically won all the time.  Sure this was along those same lines.  ;)

GAH! You mean I've been wasting my time going to all those stupid Home and Garden Expos trying to win free lift tickets?!  >:(

Apparently so.  Sorry. But hey, at least they got your email address and can now spam the hell out of your inbox with special deals on ski packages.

So I got that going for me. Not exactly the tip Carl Spackler got from the Dalai Lama, but it's something. That and some sweet San Jose Convention Center gardening gloves!

Had to bump this......sorry.


** 10 boxes selected at random will contain a "Golden Ticket" entitling the bearer to an original print signed by the band and Danny Clinch.

** One box will also include two all-access laminated passes to use at a Circuital 2011 live show of choice

Holy shit. I have a certified letter at the post office. We called today and they said it was from ATO Records. Wifey could not get there today to pick it up. The suspense will kill me.

Could it be?? Have any of these surfaced yet?

Has anyone else gotten a certified letter from ATO Records? Why would they send little old me a certified letter? I wonder.......
