Paulie Mississippi Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Looking forward to the chance to be visitor # TEN Million next! You got a lot of people that love you Eric, and appreciate the heck out of you Bernie... (Ok, some of us might even love you too...) Thanks to both of you for providing us with years of joy!

Raspbernie Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 The winner (as I had hoped) is someone who didn't just register to win an iPod. He is a real Eric Carmen fan who will really enjoy this special prize and its preloaded music. His name is John Ward and his screen name is "TheTooth." He is member #71 and registered in April 2002! Congratulations, John!Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesberry Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Congratulations John!It's just as well I didn't win. I like to spend about 10 years behind in technology. No cell phone, no home computer, but I finally caved and bought a DVD player. First DVD's bought, The Concert for Bangladesh and Concert for George. Brilliant choices I must say. Hoping I won't have to wait too long to add The Raspberries DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspberrywine Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 It's clear there was a fix. We need Bernie to look into this and find out if it's on the up and up. Until then, I recommend that the Ipod is loaded with Dinah Shore recordings for John. If , subsequent to Bernie's ivestigation(and a potential Congressional hearing) it is discovered that it was all on the level, then the IPod can be loaded with Raspberries material.

Laura Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Congrats,John. Hope you enjoy the Ipod. Glad someone who's been here awhile won it. Although I was hoping I would have been the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmik Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 There was about 40,000 hits to go when I looked yesterday. Might want to point some fans at the web server and cool it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
