PedalSteel.us Contest

Dan Farrell · Post by **Dan Farrell** » 31 Mar 2003 5:17 pm

Well, the magazine made it to San Diego today (March 31) but not up to Anaheim (where I live), which is 90 miles north of San Diego. Following up on a comment Billy Easton made, lets see who wins the contest of getting the first issue last! As of March 31, I am still in the "contest". Anybody else?

My buddy in Apache Jct AZ got his today, but I have still not received mine. I paid via PayPal way back in December. Tomorrow is April Fool's day...hmmm.

Billy Easton--- looks like we are neck and neck in "winning" the contest. Is Apache Junction the same distance from you that San Diego is from me? Speaking of today's mail,I got my PSGA newsletter today. The cover story on you is great!

Terry-- I can't speak for Billy Easton, but if I "win" the contest, and get on the cover, the magazine will tank right after that issue!

Gino Iorfida · Post by **Gino Iorfida** » 31 Mar 2003 11:51 pm

so is there a 'handicap' system for those who live closer? After all, if say someone living in DC gets theirs the same day as someone in Oregon, both being the 'last 2 to receive' on the same day, I think the guy in DC should be the winner, after all, the postals did a better job of losing something in transit 6 horus away, vs, 60 *laugh*...

seriously though, I keep checkin the mailbox... the anticipation reminds me of being a kid at christmas

Dan....
Apache Junction is about 60 miles from Casa Grande, so we are a bit closer. Today is April Fool's Day......wonder if one of us will get ours today? I was really surprised to see my picture and story on the PSGA Newsletter. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw it. Take care, and I will let you know what today's mail brings!! Good things come to those who wait.

Still waiting for mine.

Terry Wendt · Post by **Terry Wendt** » 1 Apr 2003 7:43 pm

Actually, I sent one here to the office in Nashville and it still hasn't arrived either

Didn't reach Florida yet....

Gino Iorfida · Post by **Gino Iorfida** » 1 Apr 2003 11:38 pm

Still in the contest here... anticipation is ALMOST as bad as whe I was waiting for my push/pull to arrive *laugh*

now if Terry is the last to receive it, that REALLy says a LOT about our postal system *laugh* but woudnt he be disqualified since in all contests "family and employee's of said company are not eligible

Well, I have to drop out of the contest as my copy arrived yesterday (April Fool's Day).
At first glance, it is all I had hoped for. Terry, good job. Better include me in your count for potential subscribers!! Hope the rest of you get yours soon. It was worth the wait.

No sign of it showing up at my house yet either.

Dan Farrell · Post by **Dan Farrell** » 2 Apr 2003 4:57 pm

I'm still in! No magazine in today's mail (4/2/03). The best punishment for the Saddam Hussein regieme (not the regular Iraqi folks) would be to force them to use the USPS for all of their governmental communications.

Craig A Davidson · Post by **Craig A Davidson** » 2 Apr 2003 5:19 pm

Well depending on how you look at it I either won or lost. Mine came today.

Geezz Dan,

The office copy arrived, Nashville to Nashville (via who knows where else

) and it looks like it's down to you and a few others

Who's gonna win your contest... hmmmm?

Hmmm the first contest I was ever in that I WANTED to lose! Still in the running though... oh well, to be positive about it, the time I'd be spending reading is now being put into extra practice time, which is always good...

Michael Brebes · Post by **Michael Brebes** » 4 Apr 2003 7:21 am

I'm still in the running as well.
