I am so excited!!!! I entered the contest that WZLX Boston had for tickets for the second leg of the tour in Boston and I won!! When they aired the Anaheim concert Friday, you had to write down the setlist and send it to them before midnight and I just got an email today asking for my contact info and everything and they confirmed that I won! I've never won anything before!! Did anyone else win the contest? I know they were giving away quite a few tix!

Congrats on your winning tickets! I know how thrilled you must be.. I recently won a pair of Sheryl Crow tickets myself and I never win anything either. Enjoy the show and I hope your seats are awesome!

Thanks so much guys, it's awesome to be able to share excitement with other HUGE fans!

I just got OFF THE AIR with the station! The dude called me and put me on the air!! I acted like a total buffoon and I sounded terrible because I have bronchitis. I was such an idiot. He started telling the listeners that tickets go on sale Monday at 10am and then I piped in with "Do I have to pick up the tickets?! Where?!" Good lord. Then, he told the listeners the concert was on September 24th and I said "IT'S ON A WEDNESDAY!!" I'm such a dork.

The worst part was when he joked around with me by saying that a limo would pick me up and I'd get a complimentary Carvel ice cream cake. Of course, I thought he was serious and said "REALLY?! I LIKE VANILLA, NOT CHOCOLATE! WHAT TIME DO I GET PICKED UP?!" I wanted to die right then and there but I didn't care, BECAUSE I'M GONNA SEE STEVIE AND LINDSEY! And the kicker...

FRONT ROW CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I had just won a pair of tix but when he said front row center...ooh, heart palpitations. He said I'd be so close Stevie could swat me with her chiffon robe. I replied "I DON'T CARE, SHE COULD BEAT ME WITH IT!"

Does Lindsey sign things? I heard that he's signed things for people in the front rows and if so...OOTC is coming with me, baby!!

But wait...it gets better!!!!

After I got off the phone with the dude on air (I forget his name I'm so excited!!), a woman named Karen from the station called me. She said I can go backstage for promotional pics and meet the band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, that means Stevie Nicks...IN THE FLESH!!! I don't care if it's only a handshake, I'm gonna be prepared; I'm drafting up a list of questions right this minute!! I can't get over the fact that I'm going to meet the one woman who has touched my heart for years upon years. *fanning face*

Has anyone been backstage and met them? They probably wouldn't sign anything, but hey, any info you can give me, I'd be soo happy!!

Thanks, you guys are the best! It'll be hard not fainting...but wouldn't that be just like life? Something wonderful happens to you and then you pass out and can't enjoy it... :eek:

Christy- If by any chance I'm so close that Lindsey's perspiration drops on me, I'll wipe it off and send the napkin to ya. ;) :laugh:

I guess this would be the PERFECT time to wear my "Fire Jonathan Todd" t-shirt, eh? You bet your bucking broncos I will, too. Maybe I'll write it on my forehead, too. ;)

It's great to hear someone winning that really appreciates it. Last week, a guy here won front row seats and backstage perks for tonight's show. On the air, the guy kills me when he says to the world, "Oh, I won? I can't go because for five years we've been planning a family trip to Hawaii and we're going this week! I'm like, why the hell did you call in for and try to win if you couldn't go! Uhgghhh! Congrats to you, dissention. You deserve it!

I sure hope you can bleach out urine stains!

I used to be a Melrose ADDICT! EVERY Monday night!! Imagine my joy when I found out that the E! Network is re-airing the episodes from the beginning in the morning. Oh, heaven.

I vividly remember the days when Brooke trashed Alison's apartment and wrote whore all over the walls, Amanda had a miscarriage, Kimberly and Sydney tried to kill Michael on many occasions, Jane and Sydney wrestled each other into the pool on Syd's wedding day, Amanda burned Jake's bike shop to the ground, Keith killed himself over the phone with Alison, Jo's baby was kidnapped, Jake killed his brother, Kimberly tried to kill Peter in the mental hospital, Sydney was arrested for hooking, and then she was run over as she was walking out of the church on her wedding day.

Oh, those were the days... :laugh:

I am completely knocked out by your Melrose knowledge, Dissention! Way to go! :nod: that show was amazing... wow, I had forgotten all that, and I'm only 22, man my memory is very foggy~ I do remember 90210 vividly though~ at least till they got to college and Andrea slept with her RA and got knocked up (she was my fave character, yes i know i'm a nerd). I always found that a bit creepy, then Felicity did it, then I became an RA (but not for that reason) :laugh:

I agree, those were the days... :laugh: :laugh: what would we have done without BH 90210, Melrose Place, Models Inc, The Heights and the rest? Aaron Spelling is the man. :laugh:

since this is officially a "Congrats to Dissention" thread, here's something to keep us on topic:

:] we want PICTURES. especially of that "Fire Jonathan Todd" Tshirt, oh joy! :)

dissention
07-21-2003, 10:23 PM
Oh, you'll get photos AND a transcript of what the band members say when I bring the subject up. ;) I'm a ballsy one, I'll tell them exactly what's going on. They might walk away but I'll still have brought it up!

Yes, those were the days. We must make honorable mentions of Sydney's days in that cult, that dude having a heart attack while having sex with Lexi, Kimberly's second season return (a very SCAR-ing event!), Amanda's abusive ex-husband showing up and her falling in love with his bro, Alison and Jake leaving Melrose together (I hated that, he should've stayed with Jo :rolleyes: ), Matt being arrested for his gay lovers wife's murder, and the barely there blondie, Sandy. Don't even mention Rhonda. Blech. :laugh:

Dissention.... I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo jealous.

If I'd found out about the airing before I decided to go to the movies... I would have listened... Grr!

Dissention, congratulations! I am so happy for you. Yes Lindsey is signing things and make sure you sneak in a camera so someone can get a picture of you playing his guitar!

Shoot, I'll bring two cameras just in case! I can't decide whether or not to bring my OOTC cd booklet or my Go Insane vinyl to try and get signed.

Goldie, when we were on Mick's board, if you were to tell me this would happen, I'd have laughed at ya! Take that JT! Haha!

And when does The Banned have their first show?! :laugh:

Hidey ho dissention. "Congratulations on winning your tickets, and I hope your backstage adventure is a dream come true." Do me a favor, and lick one of Stevie's eyeballs for me. LOL I killed my eyeball avatar. Everytime I saw it the damn thing reminded me of JT. After seeing JT's picture "WIMP IN A SUIT." the eyeball had to die. Imagine looking at an avatar that reminds you of a mama's boy that crapped his pants till age 30, and still picks his nose for culinary pleasures, and the whole eyeball experience becomes a horrid thing. Besides I like my new avatar. I hope I never get a leaf that color, or I did something seriously wrong with the nutes. Have fun backstage, and wear the shirt. The forehead idea is great too. If JT can write "KISS HERE" on his wrinkled up old crack flaps anythings possible..........Mark

I don't know if i'm laughing hysterically based on Dissentions amazing knowledge of Melrose or at the fact you just said KNOCKED OUT :laugh:

CONGRATS!!!! I'm glad it's a good person and kickass fan that won the contest!!! I wanted to enter but I don't live in any of the states that were mentioned you had to live in in order to win the contest :laugh: Be sure to tell Lindsey that Christy and Marissa would also like to sit front row and play the guitar :nod: and if he could arrange that, it'd be fabulous :D I think you ought to ask Stevie why they aren't doing Everybody Finds Out and tell her we think it'd make an awesome remix and a really great single :nod: Oh, and pet Sulamith for me and tell John we're glad to find out he's not a mute....lmao

You MUST get a transcript of what you say to them and what they reply with. Bring one of those mini tape recorders and put it in your pocket or something! :blob1:

WOW! Thats a great prize! And when you are sick too! Thats wonderful!

Enjoy it and see if you get autographs, for all of us. Have Lindsey sign for me " To Janet :I want you very badly and I dream of you every night and everytime I play my guitar, I dream of playing you as wickedly and passionately" Can you manage that? You can do the same for Stevie. She can even write the same thing :P

LOL
Congrads!
