    I don't know what the rules are on bumping here, but I actually won this competition! I went in July 2008 and met the Simpsons animation crew and what not. It was really amazing, I'm only 15 and the chance to go with my best friend and family was just fantastic. I still miss it haha.

    Well done! That's fantastic. My family are going to L.A in October thank to a comp on ebay sponsored by Monsters Vs Aliens. We're going to Universal Studios and my children will be going to a studio that specialises in masks. They'll get to make their own latex monster mask and be able to take it home with them.
    We can't wait!

    As for bumping - you shouldn't really bump comps that are on the current comps pages, but once they're in Game Over it's fine to chat about them. xx

    Congratulations, they'll love it! :D The hotel I stayed at was actually going to be the Renaissance, but it was changed at a later date to the Hollywood Roosevelt and I'm so glad now it was changed, we checked out the Renaissance and it was very 'business'y and a bit boring but the Roosevelt just had so much character.

    Btw, tell your family to visit a little beverage store called 'Dlush' on Hollywood Boulevard, they do the nicest Oreo Milkshakes and Strawberry Mango lemonades!
