The Holiday season is all about joyful music and giving. As many of you know, music means everything to me. My friends never see me walking downtown or on the subway without my trusty iPod at my side, playing the latest tunes, an ABBA classic, or some duet from an old Broadway show. One of the best aspects of living in Queens is that this borough has some of the finest stores in the country. I bought my iPod and all the accessories at J-OK Electronics in Flushing, Queens. They sell EVERYTHING at terrific prices, and their knowledgeable sales staff, led by Jonathan Lui, treat their customers with respect. From their lovely pre-war building in downtown Flushing, to their festively decorated “listening room,” J-OK Electronics “gets it right!”
Jonathan is the coolest guy. When he received the latest iPod in his store, he wanted to give me one — for FREE! I’m sure you are all anxious to read my upcoming review on this hot new product. But then I felt a little guilty. Why should I be the only one to have a happy iPod Holiday?!
I went to Jonathan and told him, “I want to thank all my readers during this season of giving. I want to give away a brand new iPod to one of my online friends!”
And you know what — Jonathan of J-OK Electronics agreed to find me another iPod!
(editor’s note: iPod giveaway is subject to availability. If iPod is NOT available at time of giveaway, a photo of a PEAPOD with Neil’s face photoshopped inside will be substituted (signed by Neil AND his mother!)
So, how can you win a iPod*** from “Citizen of the Month” and J-OK Electronics?
(***editor’s note:Â From this point on, the term iPod signifies either an actual iPod, or the photoshopped PEAPOD photo.)
