This past winter we gave the low-down on Matador's $500 Brighten The Corners IKEA shopping spree, which was launched as a tie-in to the Brighten the Corners: Nicene Credence Ed. Folks who entered were asked to submit a photo and short essay explaining why they should be the ones be awarded the dough. We joked that you should be stoked even if it's Bob Nastanovich you end up eating Swedish with ... and, you know, it is Bob who ends up passing the winner meatballs on a stick. He's a gracious and funny host, but he does about 95% of the talking in the video of the outing, so we don't learn too much about Jenny Bergen, except that she lives with a 74-year old and remains focused on getting a new non-airbed bed. Her place looks grim, so we can also say she deserved the prize. Congrats:
