100 Posts Later… Have we got a surprise for you!!!
100 posts! Wow, it’s so epic that me and LiLi spent 2 days trying to come with something really epic to mark the occasion. We could have been working on the Sam interview and getting that up, but I digress…
LiLi, the genius that she is, said we should give away concert tickets. I decided Marcus. Then she decided that a Twitter scavenger hunt would be fun. And then I agreed. Welcome to the train of thought behind all of this. But did you catch the most important part…
WE ARE GIVING AWAY TICKETS TO SEE MARCUS FOSTER!!
So here is the deal… for the remainder of the week, we will give clues out on our Twitter account, and you have to search the internet to find whatever we are looking for. Make sure you are following us in order to play at @ShackofSoul!
There will be a total of 10 clues given throughout the next few days, with the last clue coming out Sunday evening. Each clue will lead you somewhere. It could be a video, a picture, an article, the name of a song… who knows? (Well, we do, but we came up with this game!) Collect the web links or answers to the questions and send us an email to shackofsoul@hotmail.com with everything by 5 p.m. Central Standard Time on Tuesday, December 1, 2009. Everyone who has the correct answers will be entered into a random name generator and the winner will be announced the morning of Wednesday, December 2, 2009.
And what does the winner get…
Two, that’s right… TWO tickets to their choice of Marcus Foster shows during his U.S. tour over the month of December. It does have to be a U.S. show, so if you are out of the country, I am super sorry. We’ll have other contests for you in the future, I promise! Be aware, if you are planning to request tickets to the shows later next week, you have to let us know fairly quickly so we can arrange to have them waiting for you!!
Extra special bonus… If you pick the Dallas show, you can meet LiLi and me, cause that is where we will be!!! (I love when I rhyme!)
The first clue will be tweeted on Friday (cause these two girls have got to get their grub on tomorrow!), so get those laptops and get ready. Shack of Soul is giving you something to be thankful for this holiday… Marcus Foster!!
Saturday with Sam and The Men!
ohaithere!
After weeks and weeks of waiting, Amber and I were finally reunited for the Sam Bradley and The Men show this past Saturday. If you’re wondering whether it was amazeballs….well…..it was…..and THEN SOME!!!
I am not going to review the show in this post, because we have a ton of pics (thanks to the awesome Jen, aka GarnetGurl) that we need to sort through, but just know that the guys put on an effing kick ace performance! I mean, there might have been some texting today between Amber and I about how awesome it was and how we are still hungover “riding our high”.
Reunited and it feels so good...
In addition to the show, what made the night even better was meeting all of you guys that read this here little blog and take the time to tweet with us! We loved that you came and said hi and introduced yourselves!! Hopefully we will get to do it all again in December for Bobby and Marcus– word!
Now– I feel like I am forgetting something. Hmmm….what was it again that also happened on Saturday?? Oh, that’s right!! There was the part before the show where Amber and I (with the lovely Jen photographing) got to sit down with Sam and The Men for an interview!! HELLO!!! Best. Day. Ever. Srsly. They were so gracious to take time out of their busy schedule to talk with us and we are crazy grateful!! We are in the process of going through the audio and even more pics so fingers crossed we can get the interview up sometime this week. Stay Tuned!!
For those of you that went to the show– what did you think??
PS– the next post will be our 100th!! GAH! Can’t believe it!
Come and join in on the fun with us on Twitter– you know you want to !
We want to meet you!!
Fingers crossed these pants make an apperance. For serious.
Are you in Dallas this weekend for the Sam Bradley and The Men show?? Then come say hi!! Both Amber and I will be representing SoS at The Loft tonight pounding beers waiting patiently for Sam’s show. We would love, love, LOVE to meet you all. I will be dressed in all white carrying a red rose while Amber will be sporting her “I <3 Sam Bradley pants”. Okay…not really….just look for a tall hot blond, that’ll be Amber and I’ll be the shorty with bottle of Shiner hiding out behind her waiting to get shushed. Srsly, though, come say hi and buy us beers and let’s all enjoy the show together!
Show is at 8pm, doors open at 7pm. Hope to see you there!
Fan Pics of Sam!!
Sam is on tour (yeah!) and looks like he is getting some great audiences! And some of you all have been sending in your pictures of Sam that are just so fantastical, I gotta share!! This is the only way to hold over my own personal excitement until I get to see Sam myself this Saturday. WOOT!
First batch are from our good friend, PokerStarlight (who I get to meet this weekend!). These pics are from Sam Bradley & The Men’s performance in Atlanta on Nov. 10. Great pics babe!!
Digging the sweater!!
More pictures after the jump! Read the rest of this entry
Sam on Fearless Radio!
Are you sad panda cause you missed Sam Bradley on Fearless Radio?? Or were you trapped at work and couldn’t listen online?? Or maybe, you follow SoS on twitter (duh) and stumbled upon Amber’s live tweeting of the interview and wondered what the H she was tweeting about….
Well, wonder no more my little ones….you too can enjoy the full 64 minute interview/mini concert from yesterday! Just clicky this linky here and it will take you right to the podcast. Sam treats us to stories of his mom (awww), being confused with other famous Sams (Bradford– boo OU) and losing his phone in Austin– all mixed in with singing a couple of songs live. Listen and enjoy!
PS– my fave part is when he impersonates a Texas accent. Brill. What about you?? What was your favorite part?
PPS– if you are on Twitter, why not give a quick thanks to both FearlessJoe and Fearless Radio for having Sam on!
