This past Friday, I won tickets and got to see a sold-out Gotye concert, with Kimbra as the opening act this past Friday, April 6th! The concert sold out months ago but the local radio station- KBCO had a Select-A- Set contest and if your set was chosen, 2 a day at noon, the prize was a meet & greet with Gotye and tickets for the show!
I heard about the contest on April 1st, the very last day the select-a-set could be entered. I got home, logged into the radio station, found the entry form and submitted this-
"For me, these three songs invoke Hope, Joy and the Promise of Love Eternal"
You and Me by Dave Matthews
Here Comes the Sun- The Beatles
Loving you is Easy- Sarah Mclachlan,
I hit entered and sent in my set. I didn't put any energy into winning and basically forgot about it. It truly didn't matter if I won, the only song I knew of Gotye's was the big hit- Somebody That I Use To Know and I knew that there would be thousands of entries for such an awesome prize!!
Well, Friday around 10:30 I was driving home from meeting a friend for tea and I suddenly was washed over with a 'thought' that I would get home and there on my caller ID would be KBCO, calling to tell me I won. Sure enough, I got home, went to my phone and saw Clear Channel on my phone, I WON!! I had 3.5 hours as the concert was that very evening. They played my set on the radio and it was just all very exciting.
WOW, what a show too!! I was blown away with the adorable Kimbra, my new Girl Crush and Gotye, all I can say is wow, wow and wow again!! Truly a magnificent concert.
I took some photos if anyone wants to see them! Most are of Kimbra- but got some great Gotye too.
