My gf took some pics of me on my cellphone and me, myself and photoshop did the rest. :biggrin:

[Samk]

This isn't for the competition but the thread reminded me of this photo my friend photoshopped years ago out of boredom. Photo is from the meet and greet in Melbourne, Australia. One of my other friends at the show took along this little mono keyboard which Jordan was messing around on during the signing haha

You can see where my hair used to be before Jordan stole it.

JP's right hand looks like it has too many fingers

No way I can beat Steve, heh?

[keys76]

Great entries so far.
I think Jordan's gonna have a hard time choosing a winner on June 1st.

Jeroen

[Premetheus37]

All right, here's mine. I don't really have that much experience in photoshopping pictures, but I did my best.
The idea behind it is that each picture is unremarkable in itself, (just me doing ordinary things) as is the big picture it makes, but all of them put together create something magical and amazing.
Similarly, there's only twelve notes...

The pictures also show my journey of one day, and in every one of them I'm wearing the shirt.

~Premetheus

[StandBuilder]

And this last one is a very cool one, IMO....
Beautifully made......

stainlessly,

P@

[Thefunkygibbons]

[Rudess]

I had quite a few ideas, but after looking at Prometheus, I'm just going to wait till next month.

Awesomely done man.

[Viperk88]

[thkyle]

Premetheus, I can't think of any words adequate to describe how much I like your art work. Monet would be jealous!

Congratulation to Premetheus and Steve!

Personally, I like lutima.mp's pic most.
But the winners' pics were the most 'creative' indeed.
A fair decision, Wizard.

[Yuperdo]

Congratulations you both!

[Premetheus37]

I'll be in Boston, MA. August 2nd baby!

[Viperk88]

Congrats to you both! And thank you Premetheus :redface:

[lutima.mp]

Ahh...thank you so much ! :smile:

Yeah...I was thinking the same, Jeroen, can you tell ? Does my pic counts for the next round or only new entries ??

[Thefunkygibbons]

So does this continue for 1st July closing date?

[keys76]

I'll have to ask JR about it.
He spoke about 2 winners, one on June 1 and one on July 1.
But he already picked 2 winners...

Keep you informed.

Jeroen

[Viperk88]

So I guess there wont be another winner picked since 2 were picked in July? Any news? :biggrin::rolleyes:

[keys76]

No, JR picked 2 winners but don't worry.
There will be more contests in the near future.

Jeroen

[King_Ellesar]

congratulations to the winners!

I won a similar sweepstakes a long time ago here on the forum. My experience was an interesting one, I'd like to share with you so maybe you can get some good advice from it.

Try and make sure the venue really knows what is going on. When I won, I won two free tickets, two backstage passes, and one private lesson before the show. Awesome, right? It was very exciting! A friend and I bought tickets to fly to Chicago for the show that worked out the best for us, and as they weren't coming any time soon to Florida (err, I mean Gondor...anyway...)

We were told that everything we need would be waiting for us at will-call. We get to the venue, see will-call, and they hand me an envelope with two tickets, and two "VIP" passes. There seemed to be much confusion at the front door at the venue and they didn't seem to know what was going on, or who I was, but apparently, backstage, the people were wondering where the hell I was! lol

Eventually someone from the back came to the front and found me and I had one of the coolest experiences of my life, I got to have a 25-30 minute private lesson with Mr. Rudess. Honestly, it is something I look forward to telling my childeren and grandchildren. James Labrie interrupted with some hillarious words of pre-show frantics, and I could hear Pettruci warming up in another room. I saw Myung practicing (as we always see him!) with his bass. It was a very cool experience, to say the least.

When it came time for the show to start, I left Jordan saying something along the lines of "see you after the show!" and found my friend again in line. The show was an amazing 3-hour set, with surprises and musical goodness. When it was finished, we walked towards the backstage areas where they were letting in fans with passes.

We had orange VIP passes, whereas many others had green ones. It turned out, our VIP passes were only passes which allowed us to watch the show from some balcony with other pass-owners, and were not actually backstage passes.

We tried and tried to explain to the venue guards and officials, but they didn't seem to know what I was talking about, thought I was making stuff up so I could get backstage and they asked us to leave. After a few more attempts of stumbling through empty hallways I shouldn't be in, and into more guards, we eventually did leave.

It was indeed a bummer, and it was pretty much a result of miscommunication, or that the venue didn't really know what was going on and screwed something up along the way.

I've felt bad for my friend, more than anything, as he came along thinking he'd get to meet portnoy and the others and instead had to wait in the snow for me to come back from my private lesson backstage!

I haven't really complained about it, and I'm not right now. I never wanted to sound ungrateful for what we did get out of the experience, as it was an awesome one although it ended a little bummy. I just want to give a heads up to others, and maybe to those involved in distributing the goods, so it doesn't happen again.

Dude, the SAME EXACT THING happened to me twice now!!! Once in 2005 and again in 2007, both times trying to meet with Jordan, just to say a couple of words...I'm hoping really hard I can make it happen this year, to finally make my dreams come true...

[Darkmeteor]

hey all, I just realised I finally have a pic of me with the yellow wheel shirt :D


here it is :

btw I'm really easy to find, I'm the only visible yellow shirt, on the the right :D

[STEVETHEATER]

Man, that place is packed!!:eek:
Yeah, I think you where the only one not wearing a black tshirt that night, cool pic.

Steve

[Darkmeteor]

yeah, Wettingen, near Zurich in Swiss... you can't see it but on the left side of the pic there is a balcony filled with people... that hall was very hot (JP had to use a towel throughout the show), no AC

[St0rMl0rD]

Usually, the band riders say that the AC has to be shut down during the time of the show, I'm not sure how it is with DT though.

-J

[Darkmeteor]

hmm yeah, probably for James voice... but still, that place had no air
