Winner winner chicken dinner!

Alright friends. The $25 Best Buy gift card contest is officially over.

After assigning numbers to everyone based on the order of their entry and how many entries they received, and using random.org to generate one super lucky number, our winner is..

ELYSE!

I cannot link to Elyse's blog because she doesn't have one. But I will say that Elyse is one of the more enthusiastic real life readers of this blog. Plus, her winning this contest is particularly appropriate (and I swear, not rigged) because a) she was, in fact, listed as someone else's favorite Jew (thanks Lala) and b) I went to a Weezer concert last night (excuse me, Blink concert with Weezer opening but WHATEVS ON THAT HIGHWAY ROBBERY) and Elyse is a fellow Weezer enthusiast.

Send me your address, woman!

And thanks to everyone who participated. If ever I should come across something else I don't want that others would find valuable, perhaps there will be another giveaway. Until then, please enjoy this extra little reward that Elyse gets, which is a photo montage of her 21st birthday weekend (for the record, she's 26 now).

Pregaming. Rebekah, my soon-to-be ex-roommate Jenny Bon Bon, me, and of course, the birthday girl/super awesome contest winnaaaaa.

Aw, remember the days of non-digital cameras? Elyse is clearly not the center of attention here and she looks horrifically bored by it. Cheer up, Charlie!
Tequila, bitches! This was back in college, of course (when I was not yet 21, shh), and now I live literally around the corner from this bar. Weirddd. PS, check out LizzieB's awesome face way on the right. Someone doesn't love the tequila.
Everyone loves the birthday girl
DONEZO

Hope you all enjoyed this brief flashback. And congratulations to our winner!
