And the winner is...


ME!
YES! I'VE WON 2 TICKETS FOR ATTICFEST IN THE STATES!!!!!!
During the Attic show I managed to submit my answer very quickly for this week's competition.
After seeing that mine was the first correct answer I was waiting patiently, while enjoying Mikey singing "A Better Me" - fingers drumming on the table all the time...
After the song, a voice, recognizeable as Pete's voice said
"Looks like Marietta's got it right!" - I NEARLY HAD A HEARTATTACK!
I screamed so loudly my mother came into the room wondering what the heck happened.
Rachel said
"Marietta you totally won!"
I had to watch the loop to believe it! I still can't!
I have never won a competition before in my life and here I am winning the most important and coolest one for me!
I was planning to fly to the States in the autumn for the Who shows, anyway.
Now, looks like I have to!
And it feels bloody great!!!!
YEAH!!!!

Oh, Marietta!!!!

Congratulations!

Where is the Atticfest going to be held?
Any info on dates, etc?

Did you see that I was able to sneek a couple of lines in the chat at the end?
I was at work & had to be really quick!

I hope it all went well...
Well, of course it did!

I am so happy for you.
Regards to your Mum.

If I heard Pete say my name on the show I think I would scream too.
That's fantastic that you won. Congratulations!

I'm so happy for you.

Dear Marietta

No apologies necessary!
We do have that 7 hours of difference between us, too!
You were most likely sound asleep when I commented last evening.
I am so thrilled for you!
You are also most deserving...

Jenny will be nine years old in June. She is so funny & such a typical redhead!

I do hope to make the chat a wee bit longer next time. I usually don't work that late on Wednesdays.

Take care, sweetie!

Love
Dale

congrats Marietta!~! I do not seem to win anything either, especially something like this!! wow! How exciting! I was not able to watch ITA on Wednesday. As usual. I seem so out of the loop of everything. Good for you. Very cool.. So, my question is, since I have missed this weeks show, there is an atticfest? What did Rachel say about this? Would love to hear from you. woohoo, coming from the UK to the US for tour. awesome. Grace

Hope your weekend is good!

Marietta Zervou said...

Grace hello.

I tried to go to your blog but, erm...you haven't got one?!?

When the Who tour was announced last Christmas, Rachel said that she will do Attic shows before each gig... Keep watching the Attic with fingers poised for the next competition!

...and Good Luck!

Meg said...

How is the search for a Convention Ticket? I will be in London on Thursday, hope you make it to the Goldhawk.

PTfan said...

Hey Winner. What kind of fun are you and your mom getting into these days!

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Marietta-
Congrats! I think I won too last week...I hope I really did!
You should try to come to L.A. - or were you going to go to NYC?
Didn't manage to watch live last week - it takes two days to recover from so little sleep!
Maybe I'll try this week though!
Hope you are well!
You don't visit me anymore!!
:(
Take care,
Sue

congratulations to you Marietta. You've got some good WHO karma. I'm afraid I'll never win, I can't get the "first run" feeds, at all. They stop and start so many times, i think I'll lose my mind.
Now, if Rachel starts a new "loop" addition, maybe i'll have a chance...lol

Good for you, M. Enjoy!

BTW, just stopped in to see the pics from the convention and started noseying about. You've got a really good blog here! ;)

Peace,

Sue
