Yeah, so we were a little slow to get to this today (oops!), but hey, better late then never, right? First things first, last week we announced the first giveaway of our “We Blame Brooke Fraser Giveaway Tour.” Lots of you entered, most of you thought it was for the tickets (which we aren’t giving away till the END of the tour), but I digress. Two of you lucky ladies won autographed Sam Bradley posters, courtesy of LiLi and I.

And the winners are….

SHAY

Yay!! Exciting!

Here is what you 2 girls need to do…

Email LiLi and I at shackofsoul@hotmail.com with your names and addresses. One of you will get a poster from me. And one from LiLi. Each one of them is signed by Sam Bradley himself! And I’m pretty sure he breathed on them too, you know, if you like that kind of thing like I do.

Exciting, huh?

And now, I pass the torch on to LiLi who is gonna tell you what’s going down in the Tour this week…

LiLi here– ps why do I feel like we just tagged in a tag team match.  Amber, we are totes the Von Erichs. HOLLA!

Anyhoo, it’s time to talk about about more free stuff!

Up for grabs this week:

one Sam Bradley Keychain

Now, this ain’t no ordinary keychain.  Each dogtag style keychain has a code printed on it so you can download Sam’s EP, which he released last year.  I remember when this all went down too.  Sam tweeted that a limited number of these keychains would be available so to get them while you could.  Of course, Amber and I were like, uh, we ARE going to get one of those.  Sure enough, we did get our hot little hands on some during a certain conference that shall not be named.  Which coincidently, is the first time that I met ol’ Mr. Bradley.  And of course, I word vommed all over him.  I know he doesn’t remember as that day was all crazy with peeps but I sure do.  I alluded to the fact that Sam was kinda like a hooker.

::facepalm::

Shocking, I know.

Which is why, if you ever meet me at a show, I am usually mute.

Back to the task at hand now– how to win one of these amazeball keychains.   First, go to the sidebar over there on the right– see that?? Clicky on the twitter icon and go follow @ShackofSoul.  Already a follower?? Perf.  You are all set.  Now, second, leave us a comment in the comment section with your twitter name and a story of how you facepalmed when you met someone you liked.  It can be about a time you met the guys or something else completely.  Winner will be chosen at random and announced next Tuesday.  You have until Sunday, October 24th @ 11:59 central time to enter.  Good Luck!!

Remember, this is for the KEYCHAIN album only this week.  Tickets will be given away in November.  Check out our contest page for all the rules and regs and stuff. Still cornfused?? Shoot us an email or tweet us!

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!!

SAMamGlobal is a music publicity company and does the publicity for none other then our very own Marcus Foster! The company is launching their new website on Nov. 1 and let me tell you, it is going to be awesome. There will be tons of giveaways all through the month of November in celebration of the new site AND in the month of December to celebrate Marcus’ tour!

And I know for a fact that some of those prizes will be Marcus related. And I know what some of them are, but I am sworn to secrecy and cannot say! All I know is… they are cool. So cool that I am seriously considering dropping SoS so I can enter into the contests! (Just kidding….maybe…)

So all of my Twitter friends, start following SAMaMGlobal now! If you are already following them, then ask your followers to follow! This is just one of those times you are going to have to #trust in me.

We have a winner!

Thank you to everyone that entered their idea’s to me. It was a tough choice and most of the designs were excellent. I say most because there were totally inappropriate but funny ideas floating around in my email account… You know who you are!

I appreciate the time and effort you put into this competition.

Now the winner is……. Christina Contreras!

Her design is simple and professional and light. Her T-Shirt is called Adventure.

So please give a large round of applause to the one the only Christina!!!

Thank you all again and watch out for this design at all of the shows for the November tour!! Oh and Buy your DAMN TicketsSam xx

imacontender@gmail.com

Sam x

P.S. Sam, Since your getting new shirts, are you gonna clearance out the shirts that look like you are hugging the wearer’s boobs? Cause I totally need to get one before they are all gone!

But, on top of that, not only is our site giving a CD away, but so are 4 others, giving you 5 chances to enter!! Be sure you are following us (ShackofSoul), @EyesofAmberBlog, @myRobertPattinson, @SamAmGlobal and @LandofDreamers to catch all of the details and for more chances to enter!

Are you way excited now? What if we sweetened the deal just a bit?

On top of entering to win the CD, if you are following all 5 of us, we will also enter you into a drawing to win 2 tickets to see Greg Holden wrap his U.S. with a solo performance at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles on October 9th!! YES!!

How much do you love us? Bunches?!? That’s right, and keep up with us cause this is only the first of many, MANY more super awesome giveaways!

And this is why I have problems functioning throughout the day. PokerStarlight said I should post this and I thought, hey, what the hell? We need a FUN post on the site STAT, and today seems like a good day to do it!

The deal is… we are wondering which of the guys would last the longest in a “no holds barred” drinking contest. The going theory is in Sam’s favor, but hey, your opinion matters!

So vote here, then go down to the comments and tell us why you chose your guy!

And, since this theory needs to be tested, I am depending on one of the guys to make this competition happen. LiLi and I are happy to be judged. We can be non bias and all that jazz, as long as we don’t start drinking, too. Then we might have problems…

But before we announce the winner, we would like to take a minute to thank everyone that not only entered but to everyone that visits our site.  We have only been up and running for a few weeks now but we have had so much fun already.  So, thank you!

So, without further ado, ::drumroll playing in the background:: the winner of the poster is:

@Chrissie_D

Congrats to Christina!

Again, thanks to everyone who entered– now let’s all get back to listening to Sam’s new album, yeah??

Wait?? You don’t have the album yet?? For shame!! No worries, though, you can get it HERE.

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, if you haven’t already.  That way you can get breaking news on these hotties as we do.

I want to come home with you!

There are 3 different ways to enter…

1. Comment below!! Creativity does not matter!

2.Follow @shackofsoul on Twitter! Our new Twitter account will give you all the latest and greatest from the guys.

3. When we #SamBradley on Saturday (more deets to come on that), add #shackofsoul with it! We will do a search on the Twitter trends and get everyone who tweets that entered, too!

By the way, you can enter (that’s what she said!) all 3 ways, so every person can have up to 3 entries for the poster! The winner will be picked and announced via the SoS Twitter on August 30. You must enter by 12 p.m. Central Time in order to qualify for the contest. Everyone can enter, even our international fans!!

Be on the look out for more information about our Twitter Party on Saturday night in honor of Sam! It will be tons of fun, I promise you!
