Sweetwater / MOTUNATION Giveaway WINNER ANNOUNCED!

[James Steele]

Hey everyone! Just want to make a very cool announcement. As some of you have already noticed I recently started running a banner ad for Sweetwater on this site. I avoid making retailer endorsements, but from my interactions I've had with people there and Brad over the years, it's apparent that they're good people over there, and I plan on doing more business personally with them.

They had approached me to see if they might help support the MOTU/DP community by running an ad here and I decided... why not? But then, it was their idea to do a giveaway just for MOTUNATION members to celebrate. I suggested the MC Transport. "Okay, no problem they said... how 'bout we add an 8 Pre to the giveaway too?" Sounds good!

So here you go:

May the best man/woman win! And by the way this contest is being announced EXCLUSIVELY on this site and not broadcast everywhere, so your odds of winning are pretty good. Except for me! Being the sole "employee" of MOTUNATION... lol... I and my family (that means my cat, Jet) are ineligible! DRAT!!

As a Canadian and long time contributing member of this forum, I am being shut out from entering this contest for being Canadian. That sucks. I was born in Germany. Does that help?

James, can you possibly influence this contest to be more fair to all members?

Yeah, well I heard that Jet is not very good at turning the knobs, anyhow.

Cool, James. I think endorsing Sweetwater is a good thing. They have been my "go to" source for gear for quite a while now.

I should note that I've dumped a lot of "k" into the Sweetwater coffers. They're also my favorite supplier of essential toys. But every time they hold a contest, it's not with me... [sniff]

Thanks James,
I've spent a lot of coin at Sweetwater ... great folks !!!

The last time I won anything, it was a 7" single of "Supernature" by Cerrone, and I had to dance my butt off to win over the judges ....
Hope this one is easier.

Blessings

I was gone all day after I posted it. Just like MOTUNATION, first follow up post is a complaint. I didn't even think about it. I may be able to do nothing about it. Sorry.

Hey James. It's a typical Sweetwater thing. I get their newsletters inviting me to enter contests that I can't enter. Hmmm. Unfortunate, really, because a lot of us up here spend some big dough with those guys. Makes no sense that they wouldn't find some way to at least come up with a workaround or consolation prize. Ginsu Knives, or hockey tickets or something...

Anyway, good luck to all at the Motunation, US Division.

I just spent $150 on a raffle ticket for a chance to win a 2.5 million dollar house overlooking San Fransisco Bay. Proceeds go to charity. I'd really like to win that, but this is cool, too.

Thanks, James & Sweetwater. I feel so special.
