I mentioned back here the idea of selling an extra 50 tickets for Interesting in order to support the Do lectures. And we've done that. But I then realised that there's no way of doing a proper raffle-type draw and making it exciting via the medium of enbloggenication. So I've been putting it off.
But then it's also dawned on me that I should do it soon because Do is less than a month away and the lucky winner might need to prepare themselves.
So, here's the plan.
I will devise a fair way of selecting the winner - probably using Arthur to shout 'now' at some random point as I scroll though all the order confirmation emails from eventbrite. It seems pointlessly wasteful to print them all out and put them in a hat or something. You'll just have to trust be that I'm being fair.
I'll email the lucky winner and make sure they can go / want to go etc. It's a pretty special prize, but it's also not for everyone, so if you win but don't get the sense you'd enjoy it perhaps you'd be good enough to let me know and we'll move to the next person.
When we have a confirmed winner, and if they're happy for their name to be announced, we'll announce it.
Hope that makes sense. We'll do the draw this evening. Watch your inbox!
(See, that's just not exciting is it? Ah well)
