Now, as for the manner in which I acquired the tickets from Derf, well, it’s a new one for me. You see, a few weeks ago I signed up for a twitter account, as more and more Cincinnatians I met were using the micro-blogging, social-water-cooler service. Rest assured, I talked as much shit about twitter as anyone else, and hoped that it would fade away and die. But folks, I have seen the light. The way information passes around is incredible. The late night trending topics are hilarious. You can never tweet a thing and still end up with hours of fascinating reads. And there is the whole retweet contest thing (side note: I’m addicted to entering contests and trying to win stuff) where people/groups (like Derf) will post a message, and simply ask you to retweet that message in order to gain entry to a given contest or promotion. It’s a brilliant way to get your name out, and can garner you a large set of new followers (see @kegorators).

So thanks again to Derf for the tickets, Dane for the entertainment, and Twitter for setting the whole thing in motion.
