My favorite tv show is Pushing Daisies. I love the quirkiness, the pictoral quality and the storyline. So when I found out the Pushing Daisies Touch of Wonder Tour bus was stopping at Westgate last Sunday, September 14, I just had to go. They gave out free cup pies, magnets, pie servers, spatulas, balloons and a chance to win the first season DVD.
I participated in the trivia contest and answered the first question correctly, then went on to the second round, where I was asked an extremely easy question, (the name of The Pie Hole's waitress and I froze!) My mind was a complete blank. As a result, the other contestant won. An hour later, they played another round of trivia and I wasn't even close on that one. An hour later, they played yet again. This time, I was only competing against four other people, not twenty. I ended up winning an advance copy of season one (two days prior to the public release date.)
On my way home with all my free goodies, I stopped by a fast food restaurant for a burger. While I was driving home in my Buick (a car with no air conditioning) I had the front window open, one hand on the steering wheel, the other wrapped around my burger and suddenly my precious mylar Pushing Daisies balloon flew right past my face and out the open window! There went my twenty-years-down-the-road-Ebay-collectible.
If you like quirky, you'll like PD. Try it out - Wednesdays on ABC. And abstain from eating fast food in the car.

You're are sure persistant. I would have quit after the first game -- if I'd even play!! Sorry about your balloon. Sounds like it was a fun day nonetheless!
I thought you were going to say your gift certificate for the DVDs went out the window! Glad that didn't happen.
Congratulations on all your spoils!
