Boston (February 13, 2009) – RCN Boston, a leading provider of triple-play cable, high-speed internet and phone services, recently sent Tufts University Freshman Tucker Delaney-Winn and friends to Los Angeles on an all expenses paid vacation as a prize for winning a recent contest for Boston-area college students. Actor Rex Lee who plays the character Lloyd on the HBO hit series "Entourage" helped the students videotape their entries. Delaney-Winn, 19, a Tufts University freshman from Winchester, Mass., got the largest number of votes in a contest that asked for the best "pickup" line. Delaney-Winn won with the line, "Excuse me, do you know how much a polar bear weighs? "Enough to break the ice. Hi, I'm Tucker." Through his delivery of this line, Delaney-Winn and his three friends, all Tufts University freshman Andy Thorne, of Nyack, New York; Luke Fraser of Hopkington, Mass.; and Marty Donovan of Bethel, Maine traveled to Los Angeles to truly experienced the "Entourage" lifestyle. Tucker entered the contest at RCN's Somerville location in Davis Square. Majoring in Liberal Arts, Tucker is also taking acting classes at Tufts, so he truly loved visiting the entertainment capitol of the west coast. "Thank you so much for all of this, I am so grateful. This vacation was definitely one of the best vacations I've ever had," said Delaney-Winn.
