Amanda O. from Pennsylvania was the winner of the Propeller experience to "Win a Trip to Choose Your Own All Things Go Adventure" that took place in September 2024. Below are some of Amanda's highlights from the experience.
When I first saw an ad for Propeller on Instagram, I was immediately intrigued. Supporting great causes and getting a shot at seeing my favorite artists? Say no more. I dove in, taking action, earning points—never really expecting to win, but hey, worth it either way.
So, imagine my surprise when I got a text from Hannah at Propeller saying I had actually won the All Things Go sweepstakes. I truly couldn't believe it. I thought it was a prank. But it was so real, in two short weeks, my girlfriend and I were on a train to NYC!
The Propeller team had us set up with an amazing hotel in the perfect spot for exploring the city—and they covered our travel. We wasted no time soaking up the NYC food & art scene: a Michelin-starred dinner followed by a comedy show at one of the city's most legendary venues.
When we arrived at Forest Hills Stadium, our VIP tickets did not disappoint: early entry, private hangout areas, and floor access. The best part, though? The lineup! We were front and center for some of the most incredible acts—Del Water Gap, Holly Humberstone, MUNA, Samia, Renee Rapp, Julien Baker, Ethel Cain, and so many more insane talents… it was unreal.
Forest Hills Stadium is such a beautiful venue. There really isn't a bad seat in the house, all these acts in such an intimate venue was unbelievable. And to top it all off, as we were leaving through the VIP area that first night, we ran into Lucy Dacus! We even got to tell her how much we love her work. Oh, and at one point, we were just casually hanging out by Samia and Holly Humberstone at the VIP bar. No big deal.
I've been telling all my friends about Propeller since. If you want to have a chance to win a surreal experience and support amazing causes, this is the way to go. Huge thank you to Propeller and their incredible team for making all of this possible! Made memories we will truly never forget.
