Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

And the Marie contest winners are...

Written by administrator on January 26, 2006 to .

STOCKHOLM - When The Daily Roxette announced a contest to win one of two “After the Change” books from Marie Fredriksson’s art exhibition, we didn’t anticipate how difficult it would become. TDR was approached by Petter Lindskog of Musicshop.se who asked if we wanted to raffle out two of the books; and if so, he would donate them, including shipping to the winners. It was a very generous offer, and of course we accepted

  That’s when the problems started. Just as we were drawing the winner’s names, Musicshop.se apparently went under and Mr. Lindskog disappeared. We haven’t to this date been able to make contact with him. We were actually in the process of writing to the winners to offer them alternative prizes when, through a twist of fate, we were in touch with Micke Bolyos (married to Marie Fredriksson). To make a long story short, the two of them donated two signed books to our winners. The books, plus something extra, will be shipped to the two lucky winners: Maria Laura Osorio from Argentina and Kamila Lesniewski from Germany, next week.

  The Daily Roxette sends its warmest congratulations to our winners and we wish to thank everyone who entered. Last and foremost, a huge thanks to Marie & Micke Bolyos who stepped up for the fans!

I agree with Judith. Sooo much better. Not just beacause they’ll be signed.. but for the fact that Micke and Marie personally made sure the 2 winners would get their prize. So nice of them.

Congratulations to you both.

Congratulations to the winners! :D

With everything that went on, it’s no wonder people on this site think TDR moderators should be the new fanclub staff. ;)

onlywhenidream said on :

well done winners! It is so nice that both marie and micke are wealthy enough to donate TWO signed books for the competition.

We are truly honoured at this making a news headline!

lol

:o~

purplemedusa said on :

Aw Marie & Micke are just the sweetest people!

ally77 said on :

I will second that!

Harplinge96 said on :

Congratulations to the winners!!!! That is really cool and special!

Also a huge Hello to the moderators. You did a good job with solving that problem!

AURYTE said on :

Congratulations!!!

Majdy said on :

the good side of losing contact with Petter Lindskog is getting the book directly from Marie :)

the winners are so lucky :)

Sparvogamarie said on :

Micke Bolyos is the sweetest man you’ll ever meet. I ran into him once on the street and I asked him how his wife was doing. He was SO kind, he chatted to me for a few minutes about her and then he thanked me twice for caring enough to ask about her!! Such a sweetheart.

Can TDR explain the story of what happened? It sounds very mysterious with a “twist of fate?” It sounds like a cool story!

ally77 said on :

Well said Majdy! Lucky winners!

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Germany delivered, Argentina in Madrid and moving along.

ally77 said on :

Excellent! Lucky winners treasure them forever

PeterGm said on :

Dont understand how this guy can go under and disappear just like that when it was a Marie exhibition...not because of Marie selling enough to keep him going, but Marie Management not choosing the right channel!! dodgy dodgy dodgy

mlauraodd said on :

thanxs again to micke and marie and of course TDR
best wishes
Laura

Dedication for Marie Fredriksson

The time for, the wind ceases, the sea calms... when its candy voice, invades our hearts... when it sings a love song, all dumb one... exists something of special in air that we breathe... the smoothness of its voice Marie packs our hearts, its face in them transmits tranquillity, peace... something special in you, makes with that it is different, with that if has detached... as a great star in the sky, its brightness, its light invades our souls... you is special, precious... is… Simply Marie Fredriksson.

A great kiss… Soraya :-)
