So. The radio thing.

As I hoped, it appears that the "lifetime ban" was an error made when my data from last week's big prize was being entered. That's the good news. The somewhat-meh news is that when one wins the bigger prizes nowadays, the six-month timeout period applies not just to the station you won from, but to every station owned by that conglomerate.

This is either a new rule, or one that hasn't been applied to me previously, because I don't remember it kicking in after I won the Orlando trip the year before last.

But it means I didn't actually win Cirque du Soleil tickets over the weekend :<

At least I have nibbles on the Dane Cook and Gene Simmons prizes online, which should help with the abysmal paychecks I've been getting lately :>

Aw. Condolences on the denied win. Especially for Cirque tix. Those things are expensive!

I'll be all right. I just saw Cirque's Alegria show last year, so I'm still on a bit of an adrenaline high from that :>

And the grotesquely overpriced passes that put me in time-out are theoretically worth $475 x 2 (but I don't expect to get nearly that much for them).

I was almost looking forward to the idea that my destruction had become the pet project of some black-hat at this media conglomerate's office. I had the Bruckheimer script half-written in my head, and everything...

Alegria remains one of my favorite Cirque shows. (I haven't seen any of the stationary shows, nor the more recent touring shows.)
