Yes You Can't!

Hurray! This is really turning out to be my year with the contests.

The other day while I was studying up on important world news (surfing gossip sites), I stumbled upon an Amy Sedaris fan site that was offering fans the chance to win the complete series box set for the Comedy Central show, “Strangers With Candy.”

If you haven't seen it, the now-canceled Strangers With Candy tells the story of Jerri Blank, a 40-something ex-junkie/prostitute who decides to go back to high school after finishing out her prison sentence. The entire show only lasted three seasons, but in that time, we laughed and cried as Jerri tried to navigate her way through the halls of Flatpoint High without slipping back into her old habits (“boozing, using, losing”).

It was a pretty odd show, but deliciously fun-so OF COURSE I wanted to win the box set!

The contest asked fans to either submit an artistic rendering of Jerri OR to submit a question for Amy Sedaris.; and, the best picture/question would each win a brand new Strangers With Candy box set.

I came up with both-but only made the questions deadline; and as you may have guessed, I frickin’ WON!

I really hope this isn’t a scam; but just in case it's not, here was my winning question:

“Fast forward 10 years to Jerri Blank's highschool reunion: where will she be and what has she become?"

….and for posterity, here is my never-seen artistic rendering:
