Just Announced

[eros]

Just announced: Ahmad is awesome.

(Seriously, we all knew this already, but great to see him getting some press!)

I also didn't realize that was him.  Very cool!

And who knew a boardie won the charity lottery one year?  Were you sworn to secrecy?

I know of at least two other raffle winning boardies but they can out themselves if they want.


And thank you Walkies.

I wonder what else we don't know about Azaghal.....

In 2006 or 2007, I put in nearly 300 entries to win tickets for an entire year, I swear it was rigged!!

Az has swore off looking at comments on the article, but sorry this one is too good not to share if it's legit.

Given U Street Hall's ban of taking photos this comment makes me chuckle.

finally somebody i'd consider hiring as a u-hall party photographer
 
p.s. the few comments there are mainly positive with a couple snide ones... basically think of it as the forum weighing in

Really? I sold you a Jan '09 Gogol Bordello ticket that I bought in 2008 before winning the raffle.
