Meeting Joe Satriani

Joe Satriani - Picture courtesy www.satriani.comLast night, when I was watching a movie in a Cinema hall, I got a call from Reliance Webworld. It was a girl and she told me that I'd won the contest that I had entered while buying tickets for the concert; and that I get to meet Joe Satriani, and a free ticket for the concert.
Well, I am speechless and there is a lurking doubt that someone is pulling a fast one on me. I have never won a contest in my life; not even the Big Fun poster contest.
I have to go to the Cunningham road Reliance Webworld to meet Joe. Let's see. I'll go there with my fingers and toes crossed. Watch this post for updates.

Update: Folks I met Joe Satriani at the Reliance Webworld on Cunningham Road. A total of six winners from Bangalore got free tickets and most important a chance to sit next and talk to Joe Satriani. I told him, 'It is an honor!' and wished him good luck for today's show. He was down-to-earth, affable, and at total ease while answering the questions from the sizeable gathering. I told Nishita, the sweet girl from Reliance who called me to tell me that I won the contest, that she made my day and that I thought it was a prank. Whoa! I don't believe it man! That I shook hands with Joe-Guitar God-Satriani! Nishita promised she'd e-mail the pictures. Once I get the pictures I shall post them here. And yes, I got four autographs from Joe. One for Arnab and the rest are mine. Hee-ha!
