(1) Jenny Lewis/Aimee Mann/Mountain Goats BookEaters tickets.
(2) Video iPod loaded with every Outkast album, video, and clips from Idlewild.
(3) $250 Guitar Center gift card + Technics SL-1200 MKII turnables and headphones.

Read on if you wanna win free stuff...


WORDSMITHS ON A STAGE Revenge Of The Book Eaters presents a six city tour benefiting 826 writing centers nationwide. The line-ups are phenomenal. I already bought my tickets for the NYC show featuring Sufjan Stevens, David Byrne, Jon Stewart, John Roderick, Dave Eggers, and more. (Ticket/event info at here.) But since we always do NYC concert giveaways, this time we're throwing some love to the LA folks. Winner gets a pair of tickets:

Hosted By: Andy Richter
Performances By: Jenny Lewis, Aimee Mann, Dave Eggers, Sarah Vowell, The Mountain Goats

OUTKASTS ON AN IPOD: We've got a new video iPod loaded with every Outkast album (including Idlewild), every Outkast video, and exclusive clips from the Idlewild movie, courtesy of Andrew, Big Boi, and Volkswagen. Three runners-up win the Idlewild CD and some limited-edition vinyl promos.

The Buddha Boxes went to the winners. Sorry for the lack of official announcement. We'll announce the URGE and Soul Asylum contest winners soon, and the winners of these contests when they're done.

the rooster is blending in with an asterisk on the idlewild page...I kept getting the "fill it out kiddo" message. Don’t fear, I summoned my brain power and figured out State is a required field. Carry on S-gum.

So. I allegedly "won" a contest to go see People In Planes in Cleveland in May. They cancelled the show due to an injury but you guys were going to send me a nice CD or a shirt or some such thing. Nothing.

What gives?

Hey DBati --
We sponsored that People In Planes contest, but it was actually hosted and fulfilled by WiredSet.

If they promised you swag, you should definitely bug them about it!
