This is one of the coolest things ever. Yesterday, I received an email telling me I'm the winner of a competition where the prize was a guitar signed by Jason Mraz.
As some of you know, I'm a HUGE fan of Jason Mraz, so this is really the most awesome thing I could have won!
What happened was I found out that Ginza.se had a competition with a guitar signed by Mraz as the prize. Of course I had to participate, considering I'm a huge fan. I had to write why I deserved to win, so I wrote, and I wrote, and I wrote. Far longer than I usually write when entering competitions like these, but I had to. It was almost like a short essay.
I told them how I had used Pandora.com back in 2004, and that they had suggested that I listen to Jason Mraz. I did, and I loved his songs. You can read about all that in one of my older posts. Long story short - few years later, Mraz became uberpopular in Sweden, which means he actually performs in Sweden every now and then! Awesome! I'm going to a concert with him in Stockholm in September. It also means him being involved in competitions, like the one where you had a chance to meet him (which I didn't win) and this competition, which I'm so happy I won.

Tjenare Danneballe! Fan vad kul att du vann, tror du jag är lite avis då.. :) Crasha den inte om du skulle komma till en punkt i boken där det står, "krascha ett instrument som en riktigt rocker".
hoppas du har det bra! Vi kanske ses i Umeå igen någondag!
Kram/ EngelskaFrida i Umä.

I hadn't seen this post but since Richard Horne showcased it on his blog today, I have to say (belated) congrats! Awesome! Have you learned to play it yet?
