Welcome to the end of our email, where, like
Charlie Sheen sipping on Tiger's Blood, we offer you the chance to win a prize!
Congratulations to last week's winner, Jeffrey Miner (he's a two-time winner now!), who correctly told us that Bushwick Inlet Park will be 28+ Acres. Jeffrey volunteers with the
Greening Greenpoint project, and is interested in the ongoing stories of Newtown Creek and Bushwick Inlet Park. For his troubles, Jeffrey gets a free cocktail at The Diamond Bar.
All you have to do be a winner like him is answer me this question (which, if you've read this email, should be a snap):
- What famous person did Bunny get within 20' of a few years back?
Send your answer to
jamie@townsquareinc.com, along with your name and anything else you want us to know about you. Our winner will be selected at random, and published here, next week.
