Kitty videos?

Of course, if this was my Facebook page, I'd be required to mention where I live and that I'll be away for the week, leaving my backdoor unlocked so my neighbor can water the house plants.

In the last year, I've won a Zoom multi-effect, a Lexicon MPX, a Steinberg remote control and a DBX 266 XS stereo compressor... Granted, some of that stuff is pretty cheap and/or useless. But free is always cool and some of it is actually pretty cool - the Lexicon verb is one of my favorite reverbs. 

Baaahh!
You Bast**d! they gave you my winnings. :-)


I mean Congrats. 


I do enter all the drawings. I'm in a few now. I believe there is one for a Kramer or Gibson guitar, maybe both. A mic package worth about 12k, a custom made snare drum and some lunch-box with chassis and 6-500 series goodies.

No .gif images work on FB.
That is another draw back.

I hate LinkedIn so much. They just spam you non stop with so-called "invites" from people who supposedly want to make a connection with you, but it turns out they never sent you an invite at all. I thought it was a good idea when it first started but it wasn't long before I deleted my account for good.

If this can be any consolation, I can't enter the big ones, like for guitars and stuff, because these usually require US citizenship - I'm still just a temporary resident. 


I remember growing up in Quebec and reading about all those amazing giveaways which were open to pretty much everyone in North America, including Canada with the exception of Quebec - due to the province's particular lottery laws if I'm not mistaken. 


That sucked big time. I remember one Fender sweepstake in a guitar magazine... They were giving away all those classic amps, basses and guitars - a jazz, a precision, a strat and an tele, all vintage models obviously, a 59 Bassman, a twin and so on. I can't tell you how frustrating that was.

When I was about 13 I won first prize in two competitions in national video game magazines in the space of a week. They were both just drawing names out of a hat kind of deal. Sucks to have spent that once in a lifetime kind of luck on a couple of crappy 8-bit computer games (which came on cassette). 

I remember one time calling the local (provincial) equivalent of MTV trying to win a copy of Alice Cooper's Trash.

Much to my momentarily despair, not only did I win the album, but also a t-shirt and a pair of tickets for the show. :s

The problem was that we lived 600 km form Montreal, I was 17, I had no car, no money and I'd never really been out of town so the idea of going to Montreal was like being dropped in the middle of Tokyo or something...

Luckily for me, an older friend of mine was one of the very few fans of Alice in town and offered to pay the bus and a room in Montreal. 

Here's a pic of yours truly celebrating the occasion, just after we got off the bus and found a room, at 6 or 7 am. Ah, the late 80s... lol

All I'm going to say is...  We would NEVER be considered twins!  LMAO!

Even I wouldn't want to be my twin. lol 

But not everything was wrong - black clothes, Jack Daniel's and what looks like my old Led Zep shirt... That kind of redeem the whole thing, ;)
