i returned home from a rather disappointing rane show at the coffeehouse to see this:

Congratulations! You're a Club-EQX winner for Ben Folds Big Ticket Thursday! You've won a pair of tickets to see Ben Folds Tuesday, November 20th at Northern Lights in Clifton Park, NY. Your name will be on the guestlist at the door. Be sure to bring photo ID. The show is 16+. Congratulations! And thanks for listening to WEQX. If you have any questions, please DO NOT reply to this mail. Instead, please send an email to XXXX@weqx.com. Thanks!

thought process: SWEET! didn't do anything to try to win, but maybe just because i was signed up for club eqx, i was entered! ben folds?!?! fucking awesome!

then i see this:
