Fan Review of Backspacer Contest (Idea)

Here is my idea, and I think it would be fun and cool:

10c runs some sort of contest or lottery and the winner gets to go into a room and hear Backspacer back-to-back-to-back 3 times under PJ management's supervision. The fan can only bring a pencil & paper to take notes, no recording devices or anything else. The fan can't keep the CD, can't touch the CD. Then, the winner (fan) would write a review in this forum, and we could all question / answer this person in that review thread. The thread would have (spoiler) in the name so anybody not wanting to know could avoid the thread. What do you think of this idea?

What made me think of this was the thread prior to Avocado's release where a girl who frequents this forum was the significant-other of a person who got a reviewer's copy. She had a listen and started to write about Avocado, and took Q&A in the thread. I remember that to be a really fun experience.

    Grace! That was such a fun thread...I remember how much she loved Army Reserve and disliked Come Back + Eddie's style on Inside Job...but her review still holds up IMHO.

    Edit: Although, I love Come Back and don't necessarily mind the way Ed sounds on Inside Job...so the rest of her review holds up ;)

    That's right, Grace. I had forgotten her name. I thought dhe did a great job describing the album. Army Reserve hit me like it hit her. I liked Come Back, she didn't. Everybody has their likes and dislikes. I thought she did a great job describing the album and I thought the thread added a lot of fun to that anticipation period preceeding the release. That fun in that period is what prompted this thread; this idea.
