So what was final word on the haiku contest?


Recommended Posts

I have a feeling Twitter is holding things up. There are still a LOT of bugs with it. Last week it was apparently hacked by Iranians: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/18/twitter.hacked/index.html.

 

I entered some haikus via Twitter, and my username (like_a_version) was hijacked, so I ended up removing all of my tweets.

 

Here is my favorite of my own entries. It wants an audience. B)

 

To tenderize steak,

try pounding the cold, raw slabs

I won what I already have---W(TA) vinyl and a tote---but am thrilled to be starting out the new year on such a positive note! Congratulations to everyone else here who got a nod...and did anyone in the band actually read the entries? That's almost scary...

Cool! I am slightly bummed that one of my students didn't win. I may have unintentionally screwed them by submitting theirs all in one email.

 

Hey HolyShit (that sounds funny) which one was yours? I'd rather have the tote/album. Wanna swap? I'll give them your address and you give them mine.

I am sure, Mr. Kinsley, that your students are/will be thrilled to hear of your Major Award! The accusations of cheating will come a little later.

 

I would be interested in a swap, if it doesn't make us look like total ingrates. I haven't received any official notice from them, though; have you? They must have my email address, but nothing more.

 

By the way, good going on your first place finish; mine was the "smoking towers" one. And thumbs up to Sir Stewart, too!

 

God, we're all so creative.

Hi folks. I'm stoked beyond belief: I'm the guy who won the guitar.

 

The crazy thing is that I entered the contest specifically *because* I really need a new guitar. I'm in a band, we've been writing some more "rock" sounding stuff, and the hollow-body I've been playing for years just doesn't have the crunch I want. I expect that problem has just been solved, courtesy of one of my all time favorite bands.

 

I joined this forum a bunch of years ago but forgot my login, so I just rejoined today. It's fair to say my feelings for Wilco have deepened significantly in the last day. : )

 

Congrats to the other winners. There are some good ones up there.

Congrats! Loved reading the winning haiku's and the community feeling yours brought. Nice! :thumbup

Congrats on the win.

 

Interesting that you will be using the guitar with all of the signatures on it. I would think that you would want to put that up on the wall "ala hard rock".

 

Thanks!

 

And yeah, I know what you mean. I guess I'll just see how I feel after I get it. I suspect my desire for a new instrument will outweigh my desire for memorabilia, though it may be too cool a thing not to display it somewhere in between gigs.

 

I'll report back, after I have a chance to play it!
