Dear Steven,

Congratulations!

You have been selected as a winner of the Join Al Backstage contest for the
date listed in the subject above!

Yeah, I know the contest was discontinued in late-June, but since you
entered early, you are still eligible to win... which you have done!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Oh, I already said that...

You may bring one guest with you backstage, and you will each get:

A pass to meet Al and the band after the concert!

Two tour clothing items (shirts/hats) of your choice!

A personally autographed photo of Al and the band!

You get to enter your comments or a short concert review on the weirdal.com
Web Site, to be posted immediately after the show!

Okay, here's how to get your passes:

Your name will be on our guest list, which will either be at the box office
or will-call window of the venue, or may be on a list at the backstage
area. (Every venue is a little different, so please don't be concerned if
your passes aren't available before the show.) I recommend NOT telling
anyone beforehand that you've won, so that nobody tries to use your name to
get the passes for themelves!

After the concert ends, you and your guest will need to find your way to
the backstage door or the area that's obviously "backstage". Again, because
each venue varies, I can't be more specific than that. But if you
absolutely cannot find out where "backstage" is, please ask someone!

Since I probably don't know you, and you'll already know what I look like
(just look for the guy who was playing drums!) I will rely on you to find
me once you're backstage. I'll get your clothing items and photos to have
signed by Al, and will take your comments for the weirdal.com web site!

If there are two shows in one evening, and you have won passes for the
first show, you will be allowed to come backstage immediately afterwards,
even though most guests won't be coming back until after the 2nd show. Al
doesn't want you to have to wait around all night!

So that I can confirm you'll be there, please email a reply saying "okay"
or something like that. If you have any questions regarding the contest,
include them in the same email and I'll be happy to answer them.

THANKS AND HAVE FUN!

Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz
