i nearly shat myself when i picked up my tickets. 1st row. right in front of mike. incredible experience. all those amazing things i read about over the years happened to me. drank from ed's wine. mike gave me a pick. got an ed pick too. got lots of points and nods from mike. he even gave me a shirt (a large ben sherman button up. strangest thing i've ever got at a concert.) i'll post some pictures when i get back home to portland.

i think i've been ruined from this point on. fucking amazing set list on top of being right there. it was almost too much to handle!!

    good for you :)

    i'm not too concerned, because my seats are usually decent anyway but I'm glad someone who appreciates it got first row
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Holy crap dude! You did win the lottery! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing your pics!

    What range is your 10c#? Let's see if we can get an idea of who is getting the random seats.
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    and my number starts 169. didn't ask anyone around me what their numbers were.

    Hobbes---out of curiousity, was there an accompanying note from 10Club like"Congratulations, you won" or something along those lines. Serious question.

    nice. I figure if there's 4 rows (1,2, 9, 10) and about 100 seats a row, in theory that'd be 400 fans can win. Awesome!!!

    This is definitely the coolest story I've heard in a long, long time. Congrats! What's your 10C number? That is so cool that Mike gave you a shirt, I think I'd probably faint if that happened to me. Can't wait to see the pics!

    That's what makes the lottery such a great Idea.
    Instead of someone having same good time they always have, someone got one of there best days ever, and will never forget it!!
