Contest: Sign on and shine on winner

Posted January 24, 2011 by Floydian Slip

The winner of our first “Sign On and Shine On” Contest is Gary Wicke of Indianapolis, IN.

Gary gets the 2011 Pink Floyd wall calendar courtesy of Pyramid International.

The first installment of our ongoing campaign was targeted at 96.5 FM WKLH, trying a little crowd-sourcing to see if we couldn’t get Milwaukee’s rocker to pick up our weekly Pink Floyd show.

So far, no luck, but feel free to continue to email your support to WKLH’s Program Director.

We’ll announce our second “Sign On and Shine On” contest soon.

Congratulations, Gary!
