Another thing I didn’t know when I started this blog campaign was that I would win a Sunrise Snuggie…. all because of John Mayer!
You may be wondering what a Snuggie is…. well its basically a blanket with sleeves. A Sunrise Snuggie?? That’s a Snuggie with a Sunrise logo on it! No offence to the makers of Snuggies, but a Snuggie without a Sunrise logo is like toast without Vegemite!
So how did John Mayer help me win this Snuggie? Read on!
I’m not so green nor so egotistical to think that this blog was ever going to get the extremely talented John Mayer to amend his tour schedule. If the John Mayer Team did choose to put Perth on the list of cities for the Battle Studies ”Australian” Tour, I know that the effort will not have been mine alone (or at all!). It takes a lot of fans and people in high places to pull something like this off! If for nothing else, I figured this would be a fun way to meet and interact with John Mayer fans living in Perth. And just between you and me I didn’t actually think anyone was going to read this blog (but I know at least two people in Perth have – thanks!).
So, there I was twittering away wondering how I could possibly get the word out there about the campaign when I remembered that Sunrise has a twitter feed going! I checked it out and there was a tweet about concerts – I thought this is PERFECT, I’ll just follow them and send a reply with a link to this site!
So, I did. This is what happened next:
I won a Snuggie for @perthrants being the 10,000 follower of @sunriseon7 on Twitter!!!! I can not believe it!!!! I’m…. speechless!!!
Coincidence?!? I’m not sure, but it gave me goosebumps.
And in my private correspondence with the good people of @sunriseon7, I shamelessly told them about this blog! (Oops!)
I don’t think anything will come of it – I mean lets be realistic here people! I’m just a girl living in Perth dreaming about seeing John Mayer in concert! THEY are SUNRISE!! The best known Morning Show in the whole of AUSTRALIA!!
Thank you for the Snuggie Sunrise! I will claim it for now, but half of it doesn’t really belong to me. Half of it belongs to John Mayer, because if I did not start this campaign, or this blog, I would NOT have joined Twitter under the handle of @perthrants, I would not have been the 10,000 follower of @sunriseon7 and I would not now be the proud owner of (half) a Sunrise Snuggie!
Thank You Sunrise and Thank You John Mayer!
By the way, John – if you do come to Perth on your Battle Studies Tour, I’ll owe you half of the Sunrise Snuggie and half of my heart.
