Thanks to Alan Parson...

This morning, while enjoying my first coffee on the balconny w/ the laptop, I saw a trivia/giveaway that had been posted by DBX yesterday on Facebook asking in which famous rock movie scene Alan Parson could be spotted.

First correct answer won a DBX 266XS (I already own one, but, what the heck...)

Since no one had given the correct answer, 2 minutes later, I was the happy winner.


I went ahead w/ my business and noticed that Lexicon (same parent company as DBX) had put up a similar contest at the same time, and again, no one had answered correctly, despite the clues.

Result - I'm also the happy winner of a Lexicon MPX reverb plug-in. :)

This adds up to the Steinberg CMC controller I've won 2 weeks ago...

Man, I dig Facebook... :P

Thanks Mesh!

Almost enough to make me wonder if I shouldn't hit the Strip and get acquainted w/ a slot machine or something... ;)

Very cool Rain

Nice one.
 
Good to hear that Alan Parson's finally did something worthwhile...

I once did a project on him

Parson may have overlooked all the RAMifications of his statement...

I wonder if he still has the knowledge of his statement in his memory.

That's up, close and Parson-al...

Unless I'm just missing it (after looking twice), what was the answer?

(Spinal Tap???)

Congrats Rain!


Sheesh - do I have to be on Facebook to win something? I'm on Facebook but not really that interested... 

How does that work for the lottery? Is it easier to become a millionare if I play the lottery through Facebook? I was planning to start this Saturday... 




Anyway, I'm happy you got something more than RAM out of Mr. Parson.

Thanks guys. :)

Marius - I basically subscribe to/like company's page anyway, for stuff that I own (hardware and software), shops I buy things from, etc. Like, I subscribed to DBX's page when I bought my 266XS earlier this year. And now I'm getting a second one for free. :P

I feel it's sometimes easier to get in touch w/ them via Facebook (because an unanswered query on their page looks bad ;). Plus you get the latest info (new drivers, software updates, etc) right into your newsfeed.

And sometimes they'll do little contests and sweepstakes. DBX and Lexicon do so very often - they'll ask a question and the first correct answer wins, or such... Waves have giveaways pretty much all the time. Sam Ash used to do plenty of those too - won a Zoom unit from them last summer.

don't they have a giveaway a BMW somewhere on FB???
would take one...
