i won! i won!

last week, two days before gary coleman passed away, i answered the following radio trivia question, "what was the name of arnold's goldfish on 'different strokes?'" duh, abraham. (i won't go into the fact that some people are now calling me "dark angel" - you know who you are.) i won two tickets to see what turned out to be a fabulous band at one of my new favorite venues.

it was a great evening. that april smith can wail!

today, i learned that i won a brand-new 8gb ipod nano from the kind folks at dwell magazine. for years, i have a been a devoted reader and more recently, i have been an official "insider" (i.e. i answer regular questions about each issue. which cover is better? did you like this article? etc.)

i guess all that poll answering finally paid off.
