    I thought Brooke was kidding.

    Brooke: it is you. For realie realz.

    Congrat! I know this is hard to imagine but Anne is doubly as awesome in person as she is online. I promise.

  9. Joe Louthan Avatar

    BTW, Anne, excellent choice of song for the commercial break. That, in itself, deserves some Starbucks lovin’.

  10. Anna Avatar

    I know her through the blogosphere! That’s awesome. Yay Brooke.

  11. Anna Avatar

    And Anne, you are officially the coolest blogger ever for doing this.

    yeah for brooke!

    btw, don’t ya just love where the image chooses to freeze on videos sometimes?

  19. Anne Jackson Avatar

    John, the sad thing is out of the three they offer you, that was the best!

    the first one actually showed brooke’s name and blog so i had to pick one of the weird facial expressions!

  20. Linda Sue Avatar

    How COOL! congrats Brook – and wise choice Anne – Vermont is beautiful!

    Vermont…is that the one that points up or down?

  22. Kenyon Avatar
    Kenyon

    DANG IT!!! That means I missed it by 3…so close…yet so far. *sigh*

  23. mandy Avatar

    had to come back to see what brooke said… and i’m DYING that she couldn’t hear the announcement! LOL!!!!

    lemme know if you make a stop in Boston while your up in Vermont.
    ;)

  24. Brooke Avatar

    Kenyon- VT is the one that points down, or is top heavy. NH is the one that points up, or is bottom heavy….if that makes sense!

    Anne- sounds great! I will email you when i get home and am not surrounded by bosses…eek!

  25. Mindy Avatar

    seriously?! I was 9,998! I just missed it. Oh man!

  26. lynse leanne Avatar

    so assuming that it is Brooke…i cant watch videos at work or on my computer….is my assumption correct?

  27. Reese Avatar

    What an awesome idea, I’m sorry I missed the chance to put my comment in the pool. I have no friends…

  28. seven Avatar

    Oh my gosh my heart stopped for a minute there. My name is Brooke too, and I just met the Brooke who won online a couple weeks ago. If it couldn’t have been me, I’m so glad it was her. Congrats, Brooke!

  29. Nathan Avatar

    Am I 25,000? Close?

    I’ll tell my wife someone else will have to buy her that pumpkin drink thing from Starbucks.

    Congrats Brooke!

    Cheers.

    For all of you out there who haven’t heard Anne’s voice until now: Am I the only one who realized Anne didn’t sound like I thought? I guess after reading someone’s words for a couple years you get some sort of idea of a voice.

  31. cool dad Avatar

    Good observation, Tim! Who did you think Anne would sound like? Can you pick an actress or singer so we can get a reference point?

  32. lynse leanne Avatar

    that is so fun!!!

  33. lynse leanne Avatar

    that is so fun!!!
    have you all ever met?

  34. Helen Avatar

    Congrats, Brooke! Have fun!!

    Tim – I thought so too. :) Expected your voice to be a little deeper but it’s still great the way it is. =D

  41. Carol Avatar

    Congrats Brooke. Oh yes, Anne will love Vermont. Good going, Anne! Neat contest!

  42. Jenny867-5309 Avatar

    Great idea for a contest, Anne!

    Without realizing it I assumed you sounded like the Tat artist, Kat…you know, because of the look-a-like thing.

  43. mike foster Avatar

    its as if brooke just won the powerball lottery! congrats!…anne better not forget to come to california this spring/summer…vermont is cool but dont forget the left coast out here….mike.

  44. Dan Avatar

    great contest, anne!
    Um – who is that musician/group on your interlude? Nice touch to your video…

  45. Anne Jackson Avatar

    Dan – it is from the soundtrack for the movie “Once” – the couple won the Oscar for another song. You MUST see the movie and get the soundtrack!
