Well that certainly was an exciting week, wasn't it?! I didn't get to play Gold Digger, though I tried calling 80% of the time. I also didn't get through for Barbados, LA, Vegas, or the High School Reunion. But some other good things happened, so sometimes it's the little things that carry us through...
This weekend is also a rare winning weekend, with two noteworthy things happening:
1) The Peak is giving away 5 getaways to Whistler.
This is 2 nights in an en-suite room at the Hostel International (your own bathroom - yay!) which is about $90 per night. They are also throwing in Hostelling International memberships ($35 for 2 years or $175 for life) and 4 tickets to the Outdoor and Adventure Travel Show ($10-15 each). Add it up and the package is either $300 or $600, depending on which HI membership it is. Either way, a pretty sweet deal! Perfect for snow bunnies that don't ski - there is so much to do in Whistler besides hitting the slopes!
2) Rock 101's High School Reunion tickets every hour
Between 6 am and 6 pm, they will be giving away tickets to the upcoming bash every hour. This is good news, as I am pumped to go. Luckily they will be doing this all next week too, so I'll have plenty of chances if I don't have any luck Sat or Sun. You just can't BUY fun parties like this!!!
3) The Peak is also giving away $50 gift cards to Hard Rock Casino at 12:15 (thanks for the reminder, Brad!!!)
If you know of anything else going on, please let me know. I feel like I missed something...

Survivor still has it!
O.M.G. Survivor starts TONIGHT!
I know, I know, it's past its expiry date. But I can't help it! I just love it!!! I like trying to guess who makes it to the merge, who hooks up, who's in the final three... It's still an interesting social study, no matter which way you slice it. In the old days I used to turn off my phone when it was on. Now that we have a pvr, I usually wait till it's over so I can FF past commercials!
But sometimes, I like to watch it live. Can you guess why? Maybe not, so I'll tell you - sometimes Jeff Probst tweets live during the show. Last year he even tweeted me back! Li'l ol' ME! Eek! It was so exciting...
I'm wondering if any of YOU still watch Survivor? And if so, wouldn't it be fun to have a friendly game going on? We could bet on who will be kicked off, who makes it to the merge, etc. Or just pick players and whoever's player wins gets a prize (Oooh, that would be FUN!)
If you want to get in on the chatter, let me know - we can connect via Twitter or email or FaceBook, up to you.
This season's cast is here. Go check them out, choose your players, and email me at contestsvancouver@gmail.com with the following:
1) Who will be the first one kicked off (might be too late to do this one!)
2) Who will win the whole thing
3) The three players who will be in the final 3
4) 6 of the players you think will make the merge
5) 2 players you think might get together (bowchickabowwow)
6) Who will have a medical emergency (of sorts)
Let the games begin!
;)

Tuesday's trippin'...
I finished the weekly overview in the early afternoon on Monday and posted it here. Those are the contests that you don't have to phone in for, you can just enter online. It took me so long because I kept getting interrupted by contests! You should've seen me trying to play Gold Digger, listen for the Jack Win at Work name, AND call The Beat at the same time. Mayhem! I didn't even have time to play with my son, who fell asleep on the couch out of sheer boredom! That, and he played in the backyard in the snow and the fresh air pooped him out...

Week at a glance, Feb 24-28
I <3 Mondays... that's when all the new contests start! Here is an overview of this week's fun. I've included a link every time you see the word "here". Except that one. :D
Every Second Counts? Yes, it does! At 8, 12, and 4 on CFOX. They will play a song, and as soon as you think you know it yell STOP! You have 5 seconds to name it. If you get it right, you win the prize amount. But hurry - it starts at $1000 and goes down quickly. Details here.
Are you a Gold Digger? We are about to find out! Four times per day on Virgin 95.3, be caller 9 after the cue to call and you will get a chance to prove it. The prize amounts will only go UP and if you yell STOP before the dynamite blows, you win the last cash amount. I love, love, looooove this game! I've played it twice, won once. That $800 paid a lot of bills!!!
Five times per day you will get a chance to qualify for Breakfast in Barbados courtesy of The Beat. From Feb 24th to March 7th, they will take 5 names per day. On Friday the 28th and Friday March 7th, around 4:30(ish), a winner will be announced. You could win the trip which takes place April 5-13th, and includes accommodations (but not meals) plus tickets to a concert on the 10th (Pitbull, Enrique, and MAGIC!). EEEEK!!! More details here. All qualifiers will automatically win $100 cash and a $50 Blenz gift card. Great! But it also means that if you qualify for the first draw and don't win, you can't qualify again.
Did you go to your high school reunion? Did it suck? If you could have a do-over with a bouncy dance floor and a bunch of cool people and rockin' tunes, would you go? ME TOO!!! So win your way in to this wicked-ass party only through Rock 101 at 8, 11, 2 and 5 (ish). Two prizes for best costume (trips to Vegas!) and a Harley are being given away. You simply MUST go, and you MUST invite me!! More details here.
Sonic not only has great music and DJs, it also has appropriately topical contests. Last week and this week they were (are) taking qualifiers for a trip to LA to see Bruno Mars in LA. Bruno Mars is so hot right now!!! Qualify at 8:10, 12:10, 5:10, and 8:10 each day this week, and they will draw a winner on Friday. More details are in the contest rules here.
Jack?? Ooooohhhh Jack... Their Super Secret Win at Work contest is happening right through till April, and if you haven't registered yet then you just don't like money! Three times per day they nonchalantly say a listener's name, and that person has 30 minutes to call them back. They could win $100, $500, $1,000, or $5,000. WHAAAAAT?!?! Crazy!! So go and register here, then email me your name and number and I will call you if I hear your name. Easy money!!! Love it!!
On top of that, Jack also sends one lucky listener per week or two on a fun getaway. Last week it was a trip to Arizona (!) and this week? Well, we will find out at 8 am Monday morning...
What's missing...? Oh yes, Peak, JRFM, Shore, and QMFM. I am waiting with bated breath (not really) to see what these four have up their sleeves. Will it be Beat the Bank? Five for Five? A mystery trip? An iPad? Ooooh, so exciting!! Stay tuned...
And good luck this week!

Weekend, Feb 22 and 23
The only thing I'm aware of is the Rock 101 High School Reunion, with the cue to call at about 20 past 8, 11, 2 and 5. If you're unfamiliar with it, you can find the details here. Someone needs to win their way in and invite me along! This will be an amazing party!! Just dancing at the Commodore is a blast, but to hear all the Stones' songs, and maybe win a Harley or a trip to Vegas? SWEET!! Any costume suggestions?
The only other thing I know of is at 6:15 on the Peak, you can win a Hard Rock prize.
The weekends are slow, some even slower than this one. But come Monday, there is great fun to be had! Gold Digger is back on Virgin, The Beat is qualifying people for a trip, Sonic and Jack are also taking qualifiers for trips, and I am hoping like hell that Peak and JRFM are going to have something wicked to announce! Rock 101 will undoubtedly have half a dozen cool things to win, and CFOX must have something up their sleeve. I also expect a beat the Bank announcement from QMFM anytime...
It might be time to start having our own contests... any suggestions? Obviously we can't do them at the scale of the stations, but maybe some restaurant gift certificates, movie passes, etc. FUN!
Stay tuned...
Meanwhile:
8 -8:20 - Rock 101, 4 tickets to the High School Reunion
11-11:20 - Rock 101, 4 tickets to the High School Reunion
2-2:20 - Rock 101, 4 tickets to the High School Reunion

6:15 - Peak, $50 gift certificate to Hard Rock Casino

On a whim today, I wrote a silly post describing each radio host with a word beginning with the letter S. Certain hosts bring to mind certain words and evoke certain feelings, completely unbeknownst to them. Unfairly, to be sure, as we really know nothing about them personally. But perhaps it's the tone of their voice, their manner of speaking, the things they tweet, their FaceBook posts, and their take on news items, that gives us some small insight into them. Much like this blog gives you insight into me and my thoughts. But meet me in person and I am completely different from what you imagined! Guaranteed! So while yes, it's unfair and inaccurate to label the hosts this way, this was merely a fun exercise for me, and completely meaningless. They are (in all likelihood) nothing like these words. Probably.
:)
Good luck!

Hosts in one word beginning with S
If I had to describe each host with just one word, it would be so, so, so difficult. And I love a challenge (and am a sucker for punishment) so let me try! I chose the letter s because it's easy - there are a TON of adjectives starting with S. Whew!
Keep in mind that I don't know ANY of the radio or tv hosts personally, I only know their on-air personalities. And I don't listen to all the shows, so if I missed a host I apologize - it just means I don't know you well enough (yet)!

So while yes, it's unfair and inaccurate to label the hosts this way, this was merely a fun exercise for me, and completely meaningless. They are (in all likelihood) nothing like these words. Probably.

Keep in mind that I don't know ANY of the radio or tv hosts personally, I only know their on-air personalities. And I don't listen to all the shows, so if I missed a host I apologize - it just means I don't know you well enough (yet)!
On a whim today, I wrote a silly post describing each radio host with a word beginning with the letter S. Certain hosts bring to mind certain words and evoke certain feelings, completely unbeknownst to them. Unfairly, to be sure, as we really know nothing about them personally. But perhaps it's the tone of their voice, their manner of speaking, the things they tweet, their FaceBook posts, and their take on news items, that gives us some small insight into them. Much like this blog gives you insight into me and my thoughts. But meet me in person and I am completely different from what you imagined! Guaranteed!

Weekend Rap Up, Feb 17th
A warm welcome back to the KCS! Hope you had a lovely week off. Can't wait to hear about it with your raps!
Here's mine. As always, thank you for inspiring us to get creative!
Friday was the day of lovin'
So I threw some muffins in the oven
For my little girl to take to school
No nuts on 'em 'cause that's the rule
The evening we spent swimming
The pool was pink and it was brimming
With families enjoying good times
A great way to spend Valentines
After our dip we were all starvin'
And we heard Cheshire Cheese was carvin'
Some scrumptious prime rib, like every Friday
I ordered it med-rare, I like it my way
Saturday we headed up to Cypress bowl
Sunny at first, then it got cold
Tubing and sledding were so much fun
But snow started blowing and we were done!
Met a friend for wings and of course I had beer
A few hours out left me with good cheer
The clan was asleep when I got back
So out of boredom I hit the sack
Blustery Sunday I stayed inside
Didn't feel like cleaning but at least I tried
The storm really hit and I started to pout
Because it was cold and then the power went ou

Below is the detailed schedule for Monday the 17th. New contests will be announced this morning, so check back when you have time.
My favourite contest this week is on The Beat - see the details here! The second favourite is a tie between QMFM and Rock 101, but the prize is the same - an RV trip! Coming in third place but still winning is the Rock 101 High School Reunion - this would be a blast (from the past)!
Please note that while I have listed the CFOX and Rock 101 contests ON the hour, they are more likely to happen between quarter after and half past the hour. This list is just to remind you of what's coming up. Also, you can only qualify ONCE for the trip to Hawaii on CFOX, so if you didn't win there are no second chances! :(

Beat it!
Yes, Beat it this week!
Starting Monday, The Beat will be taking qualifiers 5 times per day - 8:10, 10:10, 12:10, 2:10, and 4:10 - with the winner being drawn on Friday afternoon at 5:10. What can you win? Well, check this out!!!
A European Vacation with the Griswalds! No, no, wrong prize. This is a European Adventure. You and your guest (who must be at least 18 years old) will spend 15 days traveling in Europe, hither and thither, and probably yon. The dates are set but not listed, the only sure thing is that you will be in London on June 10th for the Justin Timberlake concert.
JT is the icing on the London cake!
The rules and regulations don't list the countries visited or departure and arrival dates, but as this is part of the Topdeck European Tour (details here) my guess is that you leave on June 10th and continue from there, and your return flight is from Rome at the end of day 15. The trip will go as follows:
Fly into London, take the ferry to Paris in the morning
Days 1, 2 - Paris
Days 3, 4 - Swiss Alps
Day 5 - Avignon
Days 6, 7 - Barcelona
Days 8, 9 - French Riviera
Days 10, 11 - Venice
Days 12, 13 - Florence
Days 14, 15 - Rome
This trip costs about $2000 per person, and includes all meals, transfers, and accommodations. Each stop will include tours and free time.
There will only be 25 people in this draw so the odds are incredibly good! And each person that qualifies wins $100 instantly. While this dulls the pain of not winning the grand prize, it also keeps you from winning anything else from The Beat or QMFM for 30 days. Well worth it, in my opinion! By the time the next big thing happens your 30 days will be up!
This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I hope somebody wins who has always dreamed of going to Europe but has never been able to go. Yes, I will definitely be trying to get into the draw. Definitely.
