We Have a Winner!

Congratulations to Kevin of 914 for being the first to get the answer to the mystery contest and win a pair of HOPE tickets.
Here is the solution. In the Spring issue on page 3 in really tiny type you will see “iwtftfto@2600.” Anyone who sent an email to iwtftfto@2600.com would have gotten a reply which simply said “What does my username mean?” The answer? I Was The First To Figure This Out.
Watch for future contests, indicated by a flashing icon of George W. Bush near the HOPE logo on the main 2600 page If you see him, there is a contest underway. Finding the contest is half the fun. We plant them in recent events, such as a just released issue, a news story, or a current radio show. Oftentimes you can find hints here on the blog as people beg for help.

I saw it last night at 7:01 pm and I asked about it in the other competition thread. Did it have to do with the number message on Off the Wall last night?

[…] “I wouldn’t go so far as to say there is a secret message, but I would advise our listeners to look for one,” he said.
