So, a couple months ago, I got an invite to the Lockerz.com<\/a> website (thanks @davidzumini<\/a>!). While there’s a lot of speculation out there whether the site is a scam or not, I’m not here to talk about that. I will, however, briefly say that if it is<\/em> a scam, so far I haven’t had an increase in spam, cold calls, or anything else of the sort. Personally, I think that what others are considering a scam is just a startup trying to meet the demand of the ravenous hordes looking for free stuff. It happens.<\/p>\n

Anyway, in order to earn PTZ (virtual currency) for the Lockerz site, you have to log in once-a-day and answer the daily question (2 PTZ for each action). Today’s question I rather enjoyed, as it gave me an excuse to talk about my favorite band.<\/p>\n

\"Lockerz.com\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been a big fan of Ludo<\/a> for several years, and have met them twice: once when I came in second for a costume contest at their Halloween show in Columbia, MO (where Andrew Volpe told me that the band thought I should have won) and shortly after danced on stage while they played the Ghostbusters theme (my costume was a ghostbuster), and then again when they played at the Apple Store in Kansas City, MO. So obviously, the answer to the question above was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
