Every so often, BossMan holds a "lottery" to get rid of some stuff he's got lying around the office. But he usually sweetens the deal with a really nice prize of some sort (i.e. - basketball tickets, gift certificate, concert tickets)
In this case, the prizes were all pretty cool. Premium Emmy screener packages + 1 pair of Hollywood Bowl tickets.
Guess who won the grand prize of the Hollywood Bowl tickets? (Hint: The answer is in the title of this post.)
So now I get to decide between the following shows:
The Great American Concert with Fireworks - Walt Disney: 75 Years of Music
or
From Bluegrass Roots: The New American Acoustic
But if I wasn't going out of town that weekend, I could've chosen tickets to:
Harry Connick, Jr.: Only You - An Evening of Romance and Swing
So YAY (I WON!) but BOO (No Harry Connick, Jr.) But the other two concerts look good, too!

Posted by: sharky the kid at June 11, 2004 08:48 PMYay! Congratulations! I couldn't be happier that you get to be on the receiving end this time after being part of the sponsors for my ultra-cool prizes!!! (And yes, I'm STILL not over it yet.)
Pity about Harry Connick, but you're absolutely right, the other options look pretty darn good too! And really, most things are made much nicer and sweeter when acquired in victory!

Posted by: daniel at June 11, 2004 11:20 PMWOW! And I win things like pipe wrench sets... Have fun:)
Posted by: ann at June 12, 2004 07:53 AMDisney, easy. HCJr would have been the hands-down choice, but Disney will be a good show. Plus, fireworks, which are one step away from everyone's favorite form of entertainment: 'splosions!

Posted by: Michael at June 12, 2004 02:40 PMCongratulations, that is great! If it were me having to chose, I'd go for the Bluegrass Acostic! Amazing music.
Tell me though, what is the Hollywood Bowl? I've heard it mentioned before but have no clue as to what it is.
