I won tix for a Yanni concert!

DON'T HATE!

...AND don't make fun! lol

I know, I know...not every one likes Yanni, or new agey/classical music, but I happen to like it every so often!

I blame it on Pachabel's Cannon.

Y'know the one...peeps seem to be using it more often for their weddings than the wedding march. Freakin stole my idea. Too bad I've never married! ^_^

Anyway, I won through SwagBucks Swagstakes!

"Yanni Voices Tour Two Tix and Meet&Greet: Yanni will be joined on this tour by four incredibly talented performers - Nathan Pacheco, Chloe, Ender Thomas, and Leslie Mills - and if you win the tickets you'll also be able to meet the four "VOICES" before the show!"

The email I received said I'll actually have the meet & greet AFTER the show. hhhmmm. We'll see.

This is some of what I'm expecting to see! I'm excited! ...and my baby brother's gonna join me, too! wooohooo!


btw...if you want to check out Swagbucks & decide to join too, throw a girl a bone and use my code! Thanks!!

Oh, wait...DON'T GO!

I WANT TO WIN!
;P

My day has toyed with my emotions.

It's been an up and down day today.

I forgot to buy tickets to Puscifer on Friday. Today, there was no seating available in the balcony, except in single seats. Was pondering going by myself since I have that weekend off.

However, I decided I wouldn't go.
Main reason: I need to buy 4 4-day passes to Comic Con. Then of course, there is the 4 day stay in San Diego. So that's some $$$ coming outta pocket! But I'm ok with that. I really want to go see Sherrilyn Kenyon there, hopefully Dean Koontz will be there again...but I doubt it, I don't believe he has another Oddie graphic novel coming out. I will have to look that up. Also, I'm "meeting" other authors on Twitter that will be there as well. Another major bonus: We may take the squishies with us! They are so into Spiderman, Batman, Hulk...they love them some "PowPows" lol! I think they'd enjoy it...kinda a strange Disneyland type experience for them. hee.

On a good note...I won 2 tickets to an event of my choice @ The Roxy in LA!! I'm excited about that! I think I need to use them by the end of June, so I have a while to decide. All I had to do was follow them on twitter. They will be doing this all of March on Mondays. So if you twitter, are in SoCal, give them a follow next Monday!

Twitter Mug Contest

Owen @ http://www.u-g-h.com/ is giving away a mug with the pics of your twitter friends on it! It actually looks really cool!

Unfortunately, I don't have very many friends online, mine would look very skimpy on the pic department. *sigh* lol
Anyway, all you have to do is friend him at twitter & retweet his message he gives you or blog about it, which i'm doing now. Even if you don't have a twitter account, you could choose one of your friends who do, and he will use those friends for you....sounds like a cool gift!

Here's rules & official entry link:http://www.u-g-h.com/2008/12/27/xmas-fun-win-yourself-a-twitter-mug/
