CD Giveaway: Congrats to the Winner(s)

We’re still giving away free CDs, and last week we invited blog readers to write about @U2 (good or bad) for a chance to win. After reviewing all the entries, we’ve chosen the winner … make that winners. :)

The original plan was just to pick one winner and give that person the full set of remastered CDs — Boy, October, and War. We’re still gonna do that. But in addition to the Grand Prize, we’re also going to give away a few extra CDs because we liked some of the blog posts so much. Sound good? Here we go:

Grand Prize Winner: Mimi

Mimi had us LOLing with her LiveJournal post, Hello Mimi - @U2 Whore. And it’s really not because she listed yours truly as her favorite thing about @U2 — srsly, it wasn’t that. It was the style and panache she wrote with, the “I am the normal one” line, and the fact that she refers to her friends/readers as monkeys.

Great stuff, Mimi! You win the set of three remastered CDs sets.

Runners-Up

Rather than write a missive about why these were chosen individually, let me just say that these writings as a group were just fun and/or interesting to read. Thank you for putting your thoughts/stories into this little contest we did. Congrats to:

Anna
Fernando Castro
White Noise
Fauzan Adam

You each have a choice: You can pick ONE of the remastered CDs, or you can pick the rare collectible promo CD, U2 Remasters: 1980-1983. It’s a 6-track CD not available in stores. This is what it looks like:

U2 promo CD

Warning: We only have a couple sets of the remastered CDs left, so if 3-4 of you want the same CD, we have a problem.

To All Winners

Email me (matt … atu2.com) with your full name and mailing address, and tell me which CD you want, and we’ll sort it from there.

Thanks again to all who participated.
