I'm the luckiest man in the world!!!!!!

I am busting!! Newsgroup, I am busting!!!

I don't even know where to begin.

Ok.

Wendesday night I get a phone call from a friend.

Hey Dave. Do you listen to 94.9?

No.

Well you should this week, they're doing this whole thing on Seinfeld, and we all know how much you love Seinfeld.

Really? Cool. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Friday morning I'm driving to work. Around 7:00. I hear the Seifeld theme and the DJ asks for callers. I reach for my cell phone. IT'S NOT THERE. Shit. I forgot. My battery went dead and I forgot and left it in the charger. Shit. So I'm listening as they get three people on line, they're asking trivia questions from the show, best of five. The two highest scorers win tickets and #3 gets radio staion promo crap. Of course you'll believe me when I tell you these were the easiest questions ever.

What's Kramer's first name? [1]

What fictitious company sold latex and latex related products? [2]

I was furious and the idiots won the tickets. and the DJ said they'd be doing this again tomorrow to give away two more sets of tickets, and then they'd be having a drawing to upgrade one of them to front row seats.[1]

I got to work, went to ticketmaster.com, cool, internet presale tickets, get 'em on line before they go on sale. It wants a password. A password? What the hell?

<<What's Jerry's favorite brand of toothpaste? Prell. Next.

Toothpaste? Prell? Rinse & repeat.

Great story....Congrats!

Aw, I meant shampoo. :-)

Thanks. I'm still so thrilled I don't know what to do with myself.

And I just watched the Miami Hurricanes squeek by VaTech to clinch a spot in the National Championship game, so I'm just off-the-chart happy right now.

Dave (wondering what my biorhythm chart looks like.)

Congrats! That's a great story, and with perfect ending!

BTW, very impressive with the quick answers--you'd have beaten me since I didn't remember "mango", despite it being the freakin' title of the episode. Doh!

When you said "Del Boca Vista", did you repeatedly slaughter the name like Frank Costanza in the bloopers? :-)

Dave,

Having just read you story I am grinning my ass off!!! I have a smile from ear to ear and it is great to hear a fellow seinfeldian getting what they deserve for years of loyal devotion!! I am in the UK and a huge Seinfeld fan. I will be in NYC for New Year and I am disappointed that I won't be able to catch any of his upcoming shows! I am so Jealous!!

Excellent Story !!

Dominic!!

Wait, what's that thing on your lip? Looks like...a discoloration. You should get it checked out.

Seriously though, congratulations. That was a great story.

Woo- woo Dave!!! Way to go, dude.

((( HUGE hug )))

:) No one deserves to see this more than you the #1 and probably longest-loyal Seinfeld fan ever.

Have a great time - laugh til your face aches, man.

Grins,

Congratulations! Its a nice story, hopefully true one ;)

Awesome story man! You sound like you know your Seinfeld!

Post back on here when you see the show. I went to it a few months ago and LOVED it.

Who is this? Uncle Leo?

Congrats dude.

Great job, Dave!

I was so excited reading your story, well, I think it moved! :-)

So, what are you gonna ask Jerry if there's a Q&A??

Oh wow, I hadn't even thought about it.

First off, a group thanks to everyone who's offered congrats in this thread. I would have answered each individually but that's bad Usenet form.

Second, you can all help me decide. If I'm going to be seated so prominantly, there's a pretty good chance that I may be selected during the Q&A.

So what do you all want to know?

We can decide as a group on the best question, and when I ask it I'll say, "This question is from the gang at alt.tv.seinfeld who wants to know what/who/where/why/when... ?"

We've got months to decide.

Dave (T minus 69 days and counting.)

I'd ask if he remembers the "combination from the safe in Episode 38". ;-)

In 69 days you can (probably) ask, "Can you believe Julia's show was cancelled faster than Michael's and Jason's? "

^^^^^^ "Art is often hailed as the grandest expression of human spirit, but we know now ... that the grandest expression of human spirit is whatever it takes for a man or woman to rush back into a burning building to save more people."

If you stay *after* the encore and hang with the dozen or so fans after the show, chances are will come out and talk to you, sign autographs, etc.

This is generally his pattern on tour.

Also - if there is a t-shirt or merchandise table at the venue you attend, ask them quietly what the plan is for after the show. Generally they will have the *inside*

:)

So many questions, no clue as to what to ask...

How about, "What were you THINKING?" on the topic of his high school sweetheart??

*Evil Grin*

In article ,

She chewed black jack licorice gum, remember?

Heh, you appear to have issues with purple, no?

- Mark "What holds the world togetha' ... 'As I have learned from bitter experience is sexual intercourse .'" Mellin'

And how!

Ask him hif he is aware of Usenet and this newsgroup. Then ask if he ever reads any posts here. Would be fun for us to know.

Ask Jerry when he was first aware that the series was becoming part of of American culture.

He knows - a bunch of us went to visit him on the set in '93.

:)

Did you ask him about this NG? What did he say?

Maybe he needs to be reminded. We're still here. For him.

Dave (like with Beth and Arnie.)

You're welcome. Oops! I forgot to offer my congrats.

Congrats, nice score. Now you won't have to scalp tickets.

So, why didn't she eat the pie?

NO CARRIER

Ask if the show ever is gonna be realesed on DVD. If so, when?
