I'm a hold out for the "Media Makes Me a Sandwich Conference" conference.
Two signs that of hope:
1.) The IRS has a tax write off for bicycle reimbursement. Info is available on their website.
2.) OHSU, Portland's largest employer, pays out some $50,000 in direct reimbursement to students and employers for biking.
Whoa. "FEATURED" extras make $11 an hour? That IS pretty fashionable right now. Sorry, I mean: FASHIONABLE.
If I won these tickets I could finally make my proposal to the Cello Project to court Bill Cosby as their spokesperson, much as he hawked Jell-O Pudding in the nineties. Cello, Jell-O—it all sounds the same in his warm warble.
This is a very stupid and desperate reason… take pity on me? With tickets?
The one time I shared a beer with Brent he was the nicest guy, but I’d yet to hear Menomena and thus was ignorant of how fawning I should have been of his music output. Now “Friend & Foe” is in constant rotation on my Ipod and if I get to see them live for the first time ever… oh, will I fawn.
I should win these tickets because I have every Lyrics Born and Lifesavas album that I could possibly find at the Multnomah County library. Free tickets will finally make me feel guilty about how much I've enjoyed them both free of charge and my conscience will send me to the merch table.
Planning my vacations for the next 2 years.
