311 Ticket Winners Plus Raffle Video

Thanks to the more than 60 loyal readers of The Santa
Barbara Independent for entering the first ever ticket
giveaway on Independent.com. The “311 at the Santa Barbara Bowl” raffle went down
yesterday at Fiesta Laundromat on De la Vina at Carrillo, and the
winners emerged as Tyron Smith and John
Pierpont. See their photos in next week’s
Independent. Also, for those who didn’t win, make sure to
get your tickets for this Saturday’s 311 show by clicking here.

Meanwhile, watch the Indy get all multimedia in this
video, as editor Matt
Kettmann picks the winners from a hot, dangerous
dryer. Be patient as it loads and don’t mind the blurriness–it’s
our first stab at filmmaking, which we did on a Canon digital
camera usually meant for still photos. Plus, the clip, which we
miraculously did in one take, features a true “money shot”! And big
props to our man behind the camera, the formidable, budding
cinematographer Paul
Wellman.
