I will visit it every day.

Colleen Witwicki was the first winner of tickets to see the Jonas Brothers and exclusive entrance to a pre-show soundcheck party with the Jo Bros. before their show at the MTS Centre on July 5 with our "Hey HOT 103! I'd Do Anything To Get My Kid Closer To Jonas Brothers and Am Ready To Prove It!" Contest.

Colleen is a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg and has been a big sister to Laura for 4 years. Laura's favourite Jonas Brother is Nick, who is 16 years old. Colleen said she would run 1 KM for every year Nick has been alive, all while listening to the Jonas Brothers.

It's the Nothing But Nick 16 KM Run!

More Thriller. And...

I can't stop thinking about Thriller. Everything about owning that cassette, my first, is so wickedly vivid it's bizzare. All I want to do is listen to Thriller over and over again from start to finish. To distract myself... I've been thinking of other cassettes that stand out in my mind as having a significant place in my memory. So here it is... my list of the greatest cassettes I've ever owned. Anything owned on vinyl or CD doesn't count.

1) Michael Jackson. Thriller. My first and all-time favourite.
2) Metallica. Master of Puppets. I would never rewind or fast forward to certain songs. I would always just listen to it from start to finish.
3) New Kids on the Block. No More Games. Lame? Some might say. I loved it.
4) Bonnie Tyler. Faster Than the Speed of Night. It was my sister's, and I only knew Total Eclipse of the Heart... but that was good enough for me.
