This game ends at Noon, on Fridays. Winners will be randomly selected from all correct answers. Can also enter by email at socialmedia@samtrans.com
#HashtagWars
This game, created by the folks at Comedy Central, asks players to riff on a topic. In our first game we offered the topic of #CaltrainMovies. Using some creative word play players come up with movie titles that have a Caltrain spin to them. A top selection was “Lawrence of Sunnyvale” combining the classic film Lawrence of Arabia with the Lawrence Caltrain Station.
In this week’s battle of the #Caltrainbands @zaiserama‘s #LawrenceandtheMachines emerged victorious with 26 rt and faves! Great entries!
