Free Spurs Tickets!

by tomasito on Mar 12, 2010 3:44 PM CST

No joke, no catch. I got two free tickets to Saturday night's game for buying a washing machine from Home Depot. I had been planning to go with my wife, but alas, she has come down with a fever today, so we're probably not going to make it unless she makes a miraculous recovery.

Sorry I haven't been around much this season. In a nutshell, here's what's been going on since the season started...

1. My father in law died.

2. I had to finish my last semester in graduate school and graduate (while working full time).

3. I applied at a bunch of places and had a couple of job interviews.

4. I started a new job where I'm working 50+ hours per week.

5. I've been studying for the FE exam (Fundamentals of Engineering), the passage of which is the first step towards becoming a licensed engineer. It is sort of like a bar exam for engineers, except that it's about engineering topics (structural analysis, thermodynamics, mechanics of materials, site work and surveying), so it's hard ;-)

6. We are selling our house, so I've been fixing it up to get it ready.

So that's why I haven't been around as much. I've hardly seen any games this year, so as far as I'm concerned, RJ will still figure it out, Tony will come roaring back, Manu is still Manu, and we'll make some noise come playoff time.

Anyways, put some comments in to convince me that you deserve these awesome tickets. Flattery works well, but so do humorous links and photos. I'll decide who gets them in a totally arbitrary and unfair fashion, then contact the lucky winner to arrange to deliver them. I'll still be traveling to San Antonio in the morning and leaving around 2 pm, so one condition is that you must be available to pick them up around then.

Let the contest begin. May the best Rock Pounder win!

Good to hear from you tomasito! I’m going to be in town…but I’ll be spending time with my father-in-law, who returned from Iraq today. So I will not be able to enter the contest to receive this gracious offer of yours. I hope all is going well in your busy life. Good luck.

My post would be incredibly hilarious and certain to win, but I just threw my back out and can’t use the tickets…….

This is a website that has all the consoles ever. They’re shown as thumbnails and if you click on them, it gives you info on the particular console.

There’s nothing cooler than that, so everyone just give up. I can’t go to the game though, as I live in California. I want my tickets to be burned and a video of it posted on Youtube as proof.

I'm not saying something is wrong, but something isn't right.

Great to hear from you, tomasito. Come back whenever you can.

I smell death... everywhere.

I live in a different state, but great idea, tomasito. Also, good luck with the FE. It’s not an easy test, but when you’re done, you have the PE to look forward to, which is even tougher! :)

OK, so the winner was some guy my dad knew in San Antonio. Second place was Hipuks; the tickets almost got burned and posted to youtube. In the end, I’m glad they didn’t go to waste.
