  • Comcast Promo Rates Forever!?!?!

    About six months ago, I set up internet service with Comcast. At that time, the sales associate I spoke with said that I would be able to easily extend my promotional rate – an unlimited number of times – by simply calling Comcast the month before my current promotion ended to request an extension. Yes, an extension of my current promo – not a new one. I wasn’t really sure about any of this, but I took it in stride…

    And so, it has now been five and a half months, and I just called Comcast this evening. A cool girl named Dominique said that she’ll have to call me back tomorrow, after she speaks with the sales department, to see about extending my offer. So far, so good. I should get a call tomorrow around 4 PM! We’ll see. I have high hopes and low self esteem. (Yeah, I know that that doesn’t make any sense.)

  • A Special Thank You to The Gap

    On Friday night, I took a stroll down to my local Gap store to cash in a few certificates I received from the company for free jeans. Yes, free Gap jeans. It was my payment for driving my but up to Racine, Wisconsin, last summer, to perform for The Gap’s Born to Play artist performance series.

    Let me say that my experience at The Gap was superb. Thank you so much, Stephanie and Sanja, for letting me hang out with you in the store, after hours, trying on jeans and shirts, to make sure that I got just what I needed for my photoshoot on Saturday. You two were awesome! In fact, you were so awesome that I’d like to give you each a free download of my album, Glimmer. The only issue is, I don’t have your email addresses… So, if you’re reading this, please send it on over to this email address: email {at} jaymathes {dot} com.

    You two are awesome! Thank you so much! I’ll post pics from the shoot soon.
