There must be some mistake. I got a "loser" email. Hopefully they'll realize their error and send me the corrected version any minute.

I also received a rejection letter. And like everyone else, would be extremely grateful if someone has an extra! Will gladly pay to go see the Mats play with Dino..
Bummer. Maybe they'll do a real show some time soon?

(longtime lurker, first time poster)
Crazily enough, both my wife and I won pairs of tickets (for the record, we each only entered once and couldn't believe our luck)! We're psyched. I'm the guy on Facebook talking about going to the concert a month after heart surgery (not advisable, but the wife is going along with it, so why not?). We live in NC but lived in Boston prior to this and have never seen a show at the Sinclair, let alone one of this magnitude, though a lot of our friends play there or work there. All of our tickets are spoken for, sadly, but if anyone backs out I'll be sure to let folks here know if any spots open up!

Also received a rejection letter the other day. Keep hearing "You Lose" in my head since then.
Would be fitting if the band came onstage sans instruments and just chatted informally for ten minutes - this is the Converse show, after all. Or they could start the set with Alex - Dial - Can't Hardly Wait etc. and work back until concluding with Takin A Ride or whatever other opener they have in mind....

Check your mail everyone...... they sent out a second chance opportunity today! Any details on this? I'm already signed up for the mailing list through one of my email addresses, but signed up for another one as soon as I saw that facebook message this afternoon (telling people to sign up for the mailing list which seems to have been deleted since then). I haven't received anything since then, but have been pressing f5 pretty much all afternoon...

If you have no luck with that and you PM me your email address, I will forward you the email. Deadline is 10pm EST today and the contest requires a little work so act fast.

I received the other letter - "we're still going through the list and you'll hear soon." Truth be told, its probably too late for me to get up there tonight now anyways. Oh well, see you in DC in a few weeks.

I got the same email "still going through the hundreds of responses..."
What converse SHOULDve done is book Dinosaur and the Mats for a few nights!

So what did you say that got them to choose you? i wrote the following and included the picture my then-girlfriend and now-wife took of me and paul at an in-store appearance in boston in 2002: "the day i met my future wife, i brought her along with me to see paul at an in-store appearance in boston. she took the picture that's attached to this message. two years later, we danced to paul's "born for me" at our wedding. the replacements are our favorite band and we would love the chance to see them. whether we win or not, we'll be outside the sinclair tomorrow (but i hope we're outside with tickets!) thank you for the chance." i'm so excited for the show tonight, though i also feel terrible that so many who want to be there won't. i literally never win anything, so i have to keep reminding myself that this is actually happening.
