Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

circlesky reminds meof winning two tickets to see 10,000 Maniacs at the Cambridge Corn Exchange.
"Turn up and you'll be on the guest list" say the nice radio station. So we do. Have they heard of us, or the radio station? Have they fuck.
I stood my ground and spurred on by a sense of righteousness - hell, I'd WON these tickets - I eventually blagged us in for free.
Of course, all this did was teach me how to get into gigs :)
