Q. How do I enter?
A. Write a haiku and submit it as a comment under my example haiku. You must have an OpenID to submit a comment for two reasons: one, I won't get crazy spammers taking up space; and, two, I can reach you when you win!
Q. When is the deadline?
A. The contest starts Monday, January 28, 2008 and ends Friday, February 1, 2008 @ 11:59 P.M. EST! I will post the winner on Sunday, February 3, 2008. The tickets go out that day EXPRESS!
Q. What if there's only one entry?
A. Then that's the winner!
Q. If I win, how will I get the tickets?
A. Congratulations to the winner! I will send the tickets by next-day delivery! Make sure I can email you on February 3 so I can get your address and send out the tickets.
Q. Is this a joke?
A. No way! The picture of the tickets is on the side!
Q. What should my haiku be about?
A. It has to be related to the Spice Girls. Maybe inspired by a song, or by the women themselves. It can even be a great moment that happened while listening to the Spice Girls. Be fun. Be original. And enjoy what you're writing!
Q. Why do you have the tickets?
A. I bought the tickets before the Montreal and Toronto shows went on sale. Oops. So, now I have tickets for Montreal and won't be using the New York tickets.
Q. Why aren't you selling them?
A. I tried! I even put them up at cost. But no one wanted them! I have to admit, I'm a bit prideful. I'd rather put up a fun contest than sell the tickets at a steep loss.
Q. Can I buy the tickets off you?
A. Nope! My mind is set. The tickets are going to a haiku-writing, Spice Girls lovin' fan!
Q. So you're not seeing the Spice Girls?
A. I am! But in Montreal! I'm so excited!!!
Q. How did you come up with the idea?
A. I love the idea of the tickets going to a fan who maybe couldn't afford the tickets or realized at the last minute they wanted to go, only to find out the show was sold out. I wanted to do something interactive, something that would reach people around the world. I would have loved to have fans make videos or take silly pictures, but there just wasn't the time for it.
Q. Why haiku?
Well, I loved writing haiku as a kid, and I work as a freelance writer now, so it's my way to encourage more writing! The world needs more writers!
Q. Who are you?
I'm a freelance writer living in Toronto. I own all three Spice Girls albums and even own the SpiceWorld movie on DVD! Even though I'm in my twenties, I'm still a kid at heart. I prefer play to work and like life to be whimsical and light-hearted, which is why a contest is more interesting to me than a discount sale of tickets! Hmm... that's about it!
