A Giveaway? At Living La Vida Loca?

Two exciting things happened today....



I got my $100 gift card from Hancock Fabrics in the mail with a congratulations letter for getting first place in the local fleece contest, and I got a free song download because I purchased tickets to Lady Gaga's concert in New Orleans! (Look, she's even excited for me.)



So I figured I can have a giveaway like all you sewing ladies do to celebrate! Except it's not my gift card...or awesome fabric...or vintage patterns....it's a new song called Vanity by Lady Gaga....because they gave me 2 downloads and I can email one to a friend. Except none of my friends like Lady Gaga, and Dean's only going with me so I don't have to drive by myself at night. When I told my mother LG was coming to New Orleans, she said, "Well, WHOOP-TE-DOO!" in a tone that sounded just like my grandmother (who was prone to saying things like, "She thinks she's Miss Asterbutt!" and "Just tell 'em to step to hell!" and "He's nutty as a fruitcake!")

So, what are the rules of this thing? I've seen others where you're randomly drawn from a hat, or you're assigned a number and dice are thrown, but I'm thinking that if you just really like Lady Gaga then I'll give it to you. (Because I'm not thinking that sewing chicks are really into her music, but I could be wrong.) I don't see a whole lot of takers on this, but let's give it till Friday. I'll email you with the link to the website where you type in the code and it takes 1.5 minutes to download the song to your very own computer! (And no, it's not very good, but there's no cursing or sexual innuendo in it, so that's a plus, right?)

Sadly, the download is only available to US residents per website rules - sorry nice visitors from Slovakia, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, Norway, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, and my Canadian/UK peeps! And if, by some odd coincidence, there is more than one of you who really does like LG, then I'll come up with a random way to decide.

Let the commenting begin!....You can go ahead and comment now....The phone lines are open....Can somebody check the connection, it doesn't seem to be working - I was sure I'd get some comments.

Well, if you choose not to give away the song to your brother or sister - let me know. My husband loves LG - to the extreme surprise of my girls! LOL.
