How I won a Van Halen towel from the CEO of Zappos
BY Editweapon @ April 18, 2008
So there I was sitting on the couch on a Friday night, enjoying a nice liquid bread drink. Tony (who only had a few thousand followers at the time and was “new” to Twitter just like me) was walking through a Vegas casino on his way to a Van Halen tribute band concert.
He sent out a tweet like, “What’s your favorite Van Halen song?”
And so I was all, “Panama, of course!”
And so he was all, “Ok, I got 16 responses back. First number on roulette between 1 and 16 gets a prize.”
And so then like 3 minutes later he was all, “@editweapon, number 13! Send me an email to tony at zappos.”
And so then I was all, “Dude that is so awesome! And I hope that Jenny The Bloggess doesn’t get all ‘hey editweapon is stealing my trademarked so i was all and then he was all routine.”
That whole conversation is completely true. Except for that last part about Jenny. I didn’t know about Jenny last April.
Now go sign up and follow Tony and me .
UPDATE: This is me trying to say thank you to Tony. I’m obviously not good on camera. (Btw, this is not PG.)
