LG Electronics Times Square Moment

In previous posts I mentioned that I had entered the LG Electronics "Time Square Moment" Contest. I ended up being one of the 10 who had their photo broadcast in Time's Square on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, since I live on the west coast, I was never able to see it flash on the screen and I have been unable to find any pictures or videos of it. I would have loved to have been there to experience it in person and to hear the crowd's reaction. My daughter, on the other hand, who is pictured with the Naked Cowboy would have been mortified!

Here is my photo, and following it is the fb transcript announcing the winner.

Dayeanne with the Naked Cowboy, Times Square 8/16/07.

This is LG's post from facebook on January 7th, 2012.  I especially liked the battle of the words from the winner and the runner up accusing each other of cheating!

Ta ta for now...

"This past New Year's Eve, ten lucky winners from the Times Square Moment picture contest had their photos shown on the billboard in Times Square, New York City!

Congratulations to the Grand Prize Winner, Jose Angeles, who also won a brand new LG Cinema 3D LED TV."

José Alberto Angeles Veloz Dixie, I think that's what you did. Because I saw like 3 times an increment of like 200 votes on your picture in matter of minutes. I worked too hard and it took me a lot of time trying to get all my friends to vote everyday for me. So look at yourself before you point out fingers. We can run the contest again and I can guarantee you a will beat your up again. Just check all the comments and the likes I also got there. If I really bough them I don't think they will bother leaving comments of liking the picture too!!! Thanks and Have a NICE one!!!

NEW YEAR'S EVE 2012 - CELEBRATE!!

I can't believe that tomorrow is the last full day of 2011! Time has been zooming by. 

To get ready to celebrate, I used a "$10.00 off $75.00 purchase" coupon at BevMo! that they emailed to me to woo me back (I don't shop there that often, but having loyalty cards does have it's benefits!). I purchased some cheer in a bottle for the New Year Eve Festvities, and a very beautiful bottle I might add. I heard about a beer-champagne made by Samuel Adams call "Infinium" that they only make once a year, so I was very pleased that they had some instore. I picked up 4 bottles at $19.99, so I went slightly over the 75.00 requirement and then totally blew it by buying a small bottle of Baileys' as a stocking stuffer. I gave three bottles as gifts and have kept one for myself. Usually, to maximize coupons, I buy only the bare minimum needed to make the coupon valid, but heck, it's the holidays so I splurged!

I am very anxious to try this "Champagne-like beer with fine bubbles and a fruity, spicy aroma" as the label suggests. The tag also says that this "groundbreaking beer unites European brewing heritage with American innovation. Our brewers worked for two years with the world's oldest brewery, Germany's Weinhenstephan, to create a unique new beer style. They explored innovative brewing techniques but always remained true to the Rhenheitsgebot, a revered 1516 German beer purity law."

So in honor of my German heritage, and buying "American" I am excited to Ring in the New Year with a new beverage!

Happy 2012 to all!!!
