VEGOOSE

Okay, I will update on the more sappy stuff later when I don't have to sleep.

First of all, I called several times to X107.5 and didn't even think I had a chance at being caller 10. I probably called in a good 5 times and it actually went through which surprised me. It kept ringing so I figure what the hell so I wait on it. And Attention Deficit Dave answers.

On-Air
Dave: Hello, who's this?
Me: Uhh, Charlene.
Dave: You sound really surprised that the line went through.
Me: Yeah, actually I am..
Dave: So, why are you calling?
Me: Uhm, to win Vegoose tickets?
Dave: So what bands were you looking forward to seeing mainly?
Me: Daft Punk and Muse most definitely.
Dave: Well Daft Punk is headlining on Saturday night and Rage Against The Machine is headlining Sunday night, and there will be a bunch of cool other bands playing before those.
Dave: Well lucky you, you're caller number 10! So you won the 2 day passes and will be able to see the bands you want to see!
Me: No way. Oh my god. Thank you so much.
Dave: You are so welcome.
Dave: Just tell us what radio station hooked you up!
Me: X1075!

Off-Air
So I give them my info. Then it got weird.

Dave: SO Charlene, are you extremely hot?
Me: Uhh...probably not?
Dave: Probably not? What's your MySpace?
Me: uhm.. myspace.com/violetrays
Dave: violetrage?
Me: no, rays.. r-a-y-s
Me: I'm probably too young for you guys..
Dave: Too young? Well it looks like you're 18, but if you're too young, we can take these tickets back.
Me: OH nonono.
Dave: Oh my god, you're a white boy!
Me: Haha, no, that's my friend.
Dave: Oh, so which one are you?
Me: The middle one.
Dave: Aw, you're pretty cute.
Me: Uhm, thanks.
Dave: So, I'm pretty sure we're making you feel really uncomfortable right now talking to you like this huh?
Me: No, I'm fine haha.
Dave: I guess Lemmy won't be lucky.

The weird conversation was worth it. I remember when I won The Shins, I was jumping around like crazy at Aloha Kitchen cause it was the first time I ever won anything. Then when I won the Interpol tickets, I was pretty mellow about it. But oh my god, after I got off the phone realizing what just happened, I started screaming so loud. Then I called Jessica and screamed for probably 6 minutes. We both screamed.

I was really bummed out in not going to Knotts-Scary Farm cause I've never been to Knotts before. I still am bummed out cause it'd be a really awesome experience, especially for the Halloween time. I was also getting real bummed out about not getting through for tickets on 107.9. Especially since theirs is a random drawing and not a definite daytime pass and such. And getting more bummed out cause tickets are roughly $80 each day and I really want to see Daft Punk, which is on Saturday, and Muse, which is on Sunday. I swear to you, there will be so many videos and pictures. I am going to make sure I have the best time of my life since I can't come out to Knotts with you guys.
