hey Cale, would you let us know when you've selected the winner for each contest, maybe even announce who they are, so we in the process have a sense of closure? and also sufficiently ahead of the show?
for example, the Digitalism show opens doors in 1:30 hours and nothing has been announced. i bought my own ticket already for this show, as i do for the vast majority of shows. the contests are entertaining and free stuff is always fun, so i participate fully with brain and both hands.
however, a contest is a contest, with a beginning, middle and end. if a contest doesn't have transparency, people will have less reason to enter. like why would i bother to enter the eel contest or the other new one you posted i have have no clue will happen to the promised tickets?
