I Need Some Help…
I had this genius idea the other day. I have a lot of them, but this one stuck!
The end of the year is coming up… FAST and FURIOUS! I wanted to make something to commemorate the awesome year the guys have had through the eyes of you, the fans! Since we haven’t been around the whole year, we need some help!
Here is the plan…
I am going to make a video for each of the guys. No more then 10 minutes per video (most likely less!). I want the video to include pictures and video from the eyes of the fans. They can be of performances, you meeting the guys, a photo of you with one of the guys, WHATEVER! As long as it is YOUR picture or video, it doesn’t matter what it is!
I’ll take everything sent to me and create montages for the year. This could be really cool, but I need the help from you all to make it amazing!
Want to participate?
1. Send me an email with your video or picture attached to shackofsoul@hotmail.com no later than Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Put the guy’s name and End of Year Video in the subject line (ex. Sam Bradley – End of Year Video) so I can sort them easily.
2. Make sure whatever you are sending is YOUR personal photos/videos. Do not send any promo shots or any photos or video you do not have permission to use.
3. Be sure to include your name that’d you like used to credit you for participating. If you have a blog or a Twitter you’d like to link to, let me know. I will try to accomodate.
4. Should we receive a huge response, your photo or video may NOT be used. It will be at our discretion. I don’t want any hurt feelings! We will do our best, but I make no promises.
5. Even if you have sent us stuff in the past, please resend it for the video. I don’t want to surprise anyone by using something they didn’t want put in the video.
So, what do you think? I’m kind of excited about doing this.
And if you want to participate, but don’t have anything to send, you still can! I need help picking out a song for each guy to use on the video. Leave your song suggestions in the comments and we’ll run a poll next week with the best ones!
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!!

Sam Bradley Rolls Out His New Site!
Clickity - click to go to Sam's site!
Sam rolls out his new site, and it is stellar!
Okay, I know you think I am just saying that because it’s Sam and because I’m fangirling a bit over our site being included on the links page (well it is!). But hey, I like to think I’m a straight shooter. And I got this fancy degree in marketing and public relations so I’m full of credibility.
But seriously, it’s a great site. It’s clean, easy to navigate and even strives to get you, the fans, involved.
Like most music sites, it has the typical news, tour dates, biography, etc. But delve inside and it’s way more then an average music site.
First off, I went to check the photos section (duh!) and not only are there the typical promo shots, but also a Fan photo section. Basically, we can all submit our photos of Sam or with Sam and they will be posted in their own album on the site. Kind of like bringing Facebook to the website. It’s really a great idea. And I may or may not have already submitted mine!
They’ve also done the same thing for videos, so get over to the video page and submit your best Sam video there, too. Holding that camera still while telling all your girlfriends to shush while Sam plays has finally paid off for you! (But not you GarnetGurl. You can not submit your video. You know why.)
Another great feature: Ask Sam! Do you have a burning question you’d like to ask Sam? Maybe you clammed up when you met Sam and forgot to talk to him (::cough::LiLi::cough::)? The best questions will get answered and posted for all to see. All I ask everyone is too stay cool with the questions. Actually, all of my readers know this already, but geez I hope other people can follow that rule. You know the rules of our blog? Yeah, they should apply to Ask Sam too.
So Sam, kudos to you and your team for putting together a top notch site. The wait was well worth it! (And thanks for linking to us! We love you so much for that!)
Yes, Man Fans DO Exist!
Most have us have been to a show put on by Sam, Bobby or Marcus. When you look around, what do you see? A slew of women. And probably 90% of the few men that are there seem to be there by force. This post is all about that other 10% of men. Those men that may have come because the wifey made them, but stayed because of the talent.
I asked these “Man Fans” 5 quick little questions about their love for the guys, and here is what they had to say!
Jon
1. Who is your fave Brit boy and why?
Marcus – because he is just so fun to watch
2. Have you been to a show and if so, what did you think?
Yes I went to both shows here in Dallas. When my sister drug me out there the first night I really wasn’t a big fan but I didn’t want her and her friends going down to that part of town without a guy. But when the show started it was awesome. Bobby was great and Marcus really surprised me. He is fucking awesome.
3. As one of the few guy fans, what made you become a fan?
What really made me a fan was how the guys acted around me. At the show the guys had to use the restroom in the dressing room and when I went back there the were just really cool and talkative.
4. Favorite song?
Shadows of the City
5. Why should other guys give the Brit boys a chance?
Because the are just really cool and fun guys. They are just like any of my friends they just talk funny.
Nominated by his sister Katie!
Author side note: If you were at the Dallas shows, Jon was the guy in the Dallas Cowboys jersey! LOVE IT!!

Gorgeous B&Ws of Bobby from Atlanta!!
So there is this girl and her name is @GarnetGurl and she is one of my enablers when it comes to the guys. She sent me a DVD of the videos she took in Dallas, she got Sam to follow Shack of Soul on Twitter and now she sends me these. I don’t know how she expects me to ever live a normal life with all of this awesomeness she provides me!
These pictures are of Bobby (duh!) and his most recent show in Atlanta. They are absolutely gorgeous and I think GarnetGurl should be a professional photographer or something cause DAMN!. I have no additional words to describe them other then enjoy!
