    Congrats on the win! That is awesome.

    I thought I read that winners would be drawn on the 24th. Did I make that up? I was pretty sure that's what the official rules stated...but I could be totally off. I was still holding out hope, but things are now seeming a little less likely.

    Enjoy the event. Should be a real treat.

    I hope I added this picture correctly. It was brought to my attention that I failed you all by not giving me recap of this event. As I am sure many of you have read the press releases that came from the event, they are very accurate. However I will give my first hand impression. First of all we got the news to meet at the Crocodile in Seattle and we would be able to walk to the location from there. After checking in I was very pleased with the selections of fans for the event. So many great people and all of them real fans! We were escorted, much like a school field trip, to Studio X where the band has made so much of the music we love. We were served pizza and salad and other items, I was way to nervous to eat at this point so I sat completely still focused on breathing, lol. After what seemed to be forever BoB came out to introduce the album. We all sat and listened to LB in it's entirety taking it all in. After that they had a short break and rearranged us with the winners taking the first two rows and our plus ones in the rows behind. We were given our questions typed up and were told how the QA would work. At that point the band entered and the questions began. If you listened to the broadcast my question was about if it is easier writing now vs. when they started and how the dynamics have changed. You may have missed it because I ran through it very fast still being nervous. After the QA we were broken up into groups to get our photos. At this point I was able to talk one on one with Mike, Matt and Ed. They were so awesome and I was told they could not wait to get back to Philly. It was really an amazing experience and no review could really give it justice.

    Thanks for reading

    That's awesome, man. Glad you got to experience something like that. Much like you, I think I would be quite nervous in that situation. I've never met anybody from the band and have never sought out autographs or any of that. I think a picture and a handshake would be all I could muster as anything I would say would be incomprehensible. Anyways, glad you got the opportunity.
