Haha – great story. Hopefully those photos will make their way to you! Just imagine if you showed up to audition for American Idol ;) Thanks for sharing.

Brian, I quite enjoy reading “Brian Blathers”, as you’re very entertaining. I have one suggestion: please split your run-ons with shorter paragraphs, so that they’ll be easier to read. Thanks for listening.

Laura G … ditto here.

Bryan you’re awesome, and a bit nuts for sure — but everyone has their “thing” which makes life and people so colorful! Your story is absolutely hilarious, and God bless your mom! : )

I do hope your “MY PHOTO SHOOT WITH PAULA ABDUL … ” story makes it back to Paula and you someday get your photos — or an autograph?

I am sure those PR machines absolutely “get the photos OUT.” I’m wondering if they were concerned that by sending photos to you — should you be dangerous, that it might inflame any disordered obsessions? Little did they know it wasn’t Paula herself … : )

In light of this website, I’m hoping Bryan that you could perhaps share your savings? How much was a ticket THEN — AND how much did you ACTUALLY spend on clearance envelopes, an expedited rubber stamp and gas money for your mom to deliver the entries? (We do realize the backstage meeting was technically priceless!?)

Lastly. Just had to mention here that I similarly won two concert tickets and a backstage pass to see U2 at the old �� High Stadium. BUT I used FREE recycled notecards — and I only needed 9999 entries … so there!

I did however, HAVE TO PRINT ALL OF EM BY HAND … yeah, THANKS BRYAN!!!

(Yeah. No U2 contest, just kidding here.)

Thanks for sharin the great story.

You are too funny! Your story reminds me of the sweepstakes in the fine movie “Real Genius.” I admire your willingness to share so publicly what a dweeb you could be 20+ years ago. I still am too embarrassed to admit some of my old deeds. Thanks for the chuckle.
