United Spiels of A

20. Mar, 2010 12 Comments

Look out America, I’m takin’ this show on the road….

I’m heading to the InteractiveSportsConference in Las Vegas on Tuesday. It’s a two-day conference focusing on fantasy sports with some big names from the web2.0 and sports media industries attending. Companies like ESPN, NBC Sports, Fox Digital, Nascar and more will all be giving presentations. Just like Big Kev (RIP big fella)… I’m excited!

I’m hoping to get an iPhone data plan when I get there so I can keep y’all informed of how its going. If anyone has any tips on that by the way, please send me an email/tweet/DM/good vibration.

But you can gain out of this too because I want you involved!

So here’s what I’m offering you:

I will be in at least Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Phoenix during that week. Hopefully will be adding a few more cities but I’m still planning that,  so here’s what I want from you:

Choose anything you would like me to buy for you from one of these cities, and I will choose the weirdest most quirky and unique one. If there’s only one reasonable comment, well you’re the lucky winner BUT there are stipulations

  • Make it reasonable. I ain’t exactly made of money. $10-15 in value, or  perhaps a tad more if you make a really good case to convince me. Please, no dingy back allies or anything like that either.
  • You have to a leave a comment on this post or I won’t consider it. How you like them apples?
  • It doesn’t even have to be something monetary…want me to take a picture of some landmark for you? I’ll (try to) do it..
  • Make it kinda weird, the more weird the more likely I’ll pick yours!
  • If you’re family….no I’m not getting it.

I’ll decide by COB Monday.

    A picture of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Or one of the sporting grounds in that part of the world.

    Golden Gate Bridge may be difficult as its in San Francisco, anything else mate?

    A cactus from Phoenix?

    Or the Grand Canyon? (I think it is in that part of the world).

    Or maybe a mix tape of songs from the aforementioned regions.

    The tackiest David Beckham/LA Galaxy piece of merchandise you can get for $10.

    A photo of thunder dan majerle, or a phoenix suns player giving me a thumbs up, or similar kind of pose.

    I won’t ask U to buy me anything, but I want two pictures please –

    Picture one – An LA Clippers fan sitting down, maybe in tears, but defintley sad, while around him is euphoria.

    Picture two – A prostitute in a Kobe Bryant singlet.

    Take a photo of a Shaqtus.

    Well nobody wanted me to really buy anything for them except for the LA Galaxy gear, so thats no.1 priority. Apart from that photos may be easy to get to, JJ and Adelaide Dupont I’ll see what I can do. Daniel Eade, I wanted a challenge, you made it too easy.

    Much appreciated.

    And there are probably a lot of sports games (I mean computer games) that you probably couldn’t get in Australia, if they are not too expensive!

    (Look in the bargain basement).

    If it’s not too late, could you pop into a casino and place the following bet for us:
    $5 on red and $5 on black. We would love at least one win this season.

    What?
    00?
    Jeebus, we really do suck.
