Tuba for Trib.

March 15th, 2007 18 comments

So I’ve got this friend, tribanin, who is returning to school as an adult. He’s a grown man with a teenage son and a regular job, so like many of us, he’s got bills to pay. What else does he have? A BURNING DESIRE TO PLAY THE TUBA. He played when he was younger, and now that he’s back in school, he’s got the opportunity to be in a band again, and he wants to make the most of it.

Now, me, I’ve got a soft spot for the tuba. I remember at college, there was this guy who would sit out in front of the cafeteria in a classroom chair with his tuba and practice. One day, two girls started squealing and ran up to him waving pencils and pads of paper. He kindly stopped and gave his autograph, and we all had a good laugh at the joke. And the guy took it in very good grace, because the tuba player, like the accordion player, is really a very geeky punk rock star. They don’t give a crap about society’s rules – they just wanna play their instrument, and who cares what people think about it?

Trib’s in Oklahoma, going back to college, and he doesn’t have thousands of dollars just burning a hole in his pocket to afford a tuba. And that’s where you come in!

There’s a sweepstakes going on where the first prize is the tuba of tribanin‘s dreams. All you’ve gotta do is go here: http://www.wwbw.com/Contest/ContestMain.aspx?cid=438 and fill out the form. I believe you can do it once a day. If you win, Tribbles will pay shipping for the tuba to come to him.

Won’t you please enter today and help a grown man realize his geeky dream?

Hats up for: WA, TX, NC
