There was a little competition on a small cheesy German radio station today - you could win 2 tickets for a gig in front of 100 guest on September 25th... they described it on their homepage as "dress rehearsal before the Dylan tour"... You had to send them a mail why it would you who should have the chance to win ... I did so... and waited in front of the radio for about 2 hours from 16:00 to 18:00 ... then, I wasn't lucky... 2 guys were chosen and had to answer five " very difficult" questions about DS/MK... the one with the most correct answers could win 2 tickets to fly to London on Sept 25th...
Questions were:
Who is singing in the background of Money For Nothing, Elton John, Sting, bla bla bla
What was the most successful album from Dire Straits?
What is the name of Mark's brother?
What was the name of the first hit of Dire Straits - King of Swing, Sultans of Swing, Swing of Blablabla
Which song of Mark Knopfler is named after a famous love couple?
Is it true that there is a dinosaur named after Mk, what do you think??
What did Mark study when he was young - journalism or architecture...
First guy knew exactly ONE answer, Sultans of Swing, the other one had to answer only two other questions, and I was bittlery laughing about how "difficult" it had turned out to be and what kind of fan now will travel to London and will be one of the chosen 100...
Then I mailed TK and got an answer in no time at all:
There are indeed two gigs:
One gig on Sept. 25th, for non-UK countries, run by promoters and local labels, with obviously 100 allowed guests,
and the one for UK residents only, run by conjunction with amazon.co.uk on on Sept 26th.
Thanks to TK for answering my mail in less than one hour! Very appreciated!
