Well I used the term "I" kinda loosely. My mother-in-law plays all the radio call in games while she's at work. And she wins a friggin lot. And with the stations there's limits to how often you can win, and she already won the most she could from the classic rock station. But she's addicted to playing. So when she got through, she gave her daughter's (my wifes) info. So we win the trip lol.
The original prize was Rock Band for XBOX360 which we already got, and then all the winners of that were entered in a drawing for the grand prize, which we won!

from Rolling Stone (SPOILER!):
This Saturday Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, the Flaming Lips, Incubus and Tenacious D will play tribute to the Who at VH1’s annual Rock Honors concert in Los Angeles. The Who will close out the night with a 40-minute set that may include the first live performance of The Who By Numbers track “Slip Kid” since 1976, though you may have to actually be at the venue to hear it. “What they use on the TV will probably be the same old stuff,” laments Roger Daltrey. “They’ll probably just show ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again,’ ‘Baba O’Riley’ and ‘Who are You?’” Daltrey also revealed the Flaming Lips are working up a Tommy medley and Pearl Jam will likely play “Love Reign O’er Me.” “It’s gonna be weird having them play Who songs while we’re there,” says Daltrey.

40 minutes?? that's pretty cool. I was starting to think it'd be a song from each of the opening bands and then like a 3 song Who set, with the last one with the other bands coming out. But 40 minutes is pretty cool.
Oh, so we got this whole travel package itinerary for the trip. For the show it says that we should dress VH1 Hip and Chic! What is VH1 Hip and and Chic?? Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure I don't have it. It described what the presenters will be wearing lol; I guess that means I'm supposed to try to dress like them?

I'm not sure. That was the impression I got, but now I don't really know. There's a VH1 Suite, but it also talks about picking up tickets, so I'm not sure.
We do get picked up and dropped off in a limo though. From the airport and the show, so that's kinda cool. Maybe there'll be red carpet lol.
The sentence in the itinerary that troubles me is "If you are found with a camera, it may be confiscated and you will be asked to leave."

YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, DON'T YOU...
You need to bring a pocket camera that also does video, and record any PJ performance in case it doesn't make the TV cut, like Daltrey said in the interview above.

troubling... yet also exciting
probably means you're going to be close
just leave the camera at home... you'll have the memories in your head
i stopped bringing my camera to shows after philly 1 this year ... it's annoying how half the crowd is sitting there taking pictures from way too far away and with awful lighting
although some people do get good shots.... and part of me wishes i had it for the front row at mansfield2... but i was too busy watching the band...
either don't risk it... or keep that shit hidden well
that's an odd sentence for them to have on there... although they're only going to "ask" you to leave
