The OFFICIAL “We Blame Brooke Fraser” Giveaway Tour — Week 1
There are a lot of #sadpanda peeps out there. Sam Bradley is touring the U.S. and so many of our fellow fangirls got sold out. This makes us sad too. But you all are not allowed to be so sad anymore. Why? Cause we have kind of a kick ass announcement….
HOLLA! Since Brooke Fraser caused so many of y’all to be sad, we figured it was time to do some giving away of some fun stuff. And I mean it. This stuff is kind of the bomb diggity. (Yes, I’m bringing bomb diggity back. Join me.) And hence the name. We blame her for making us have this awesome contest! Kudos to Brooke’s awesomeness that leads to you all getting fun goodies!
Here’s what’s gonna happen….
For the next FOUR weeks, we are going to be giving away goodies from both Sam AND Brooke… with a grand prize that may really make someone’s day!
Soooooooo, what are the prizes you ask?
This week (week of 10/11), we are giving away not one, but TWO signed posters of Sam Bradley! Courtesy of LiLi and I who have way too much crap stuff signed by Sam and decided we should share! And trust me. This is difficult cause I do not like to share. Blame Brooke for my change of heart.
Next week (week of 10/18), we are giving away one of those kick ass Sam Bradley key chains we all went crazy for last year. The best thing about the keychain? You get a code to download Sam’s EP! Really awesome prize for any of you late to the Sam Bradley party! This gift was provided by the amazingly awesome EYES OF AMBER! We <3 her!
On the week of 10/23, we’ve got something super special! TWO posters of Sam Bradley signed by not only Sam, but also The Men, Version 1.0. I call this one a collector’s item, since we have the signature of the now gone man, Dave. :tips one out for Dave: These are also from EYES OF AMBER, cause she loves us!
And for our grand prize…. :insert drumroll:
TWO TICKETS TO THE SOLD OUT BROOKE FRASER SHOW IN DALLAS ON 11/12!!
We hear Sam will be there, too! 
As well as LiLi and I. We may even buy ya a beer if you ask us nicely!
[LiLi edit: er...Amber will be buying the beers. I plan on being drunk. duh.]
AND included in this is Brooke’s new CD, Flags!
Can this BE anymore win?!
So now you are asking yourself this… how do I get to be a part of this business?! Well, it’s easy peasy!
Each week is a different giveaway. We will post the giveaway on Tuesday for you to enter. All you have to do is leave a comment on the giveaway post (like this one for the Week 1 giveaway) AND make sure you are following us on Twitter by Sunday at 12 a.m. central time! You must do both to enter, so be sure to let us know your Twitter name in the comment!!
On Monday, once LiLi and I manage to roll outta bed, get to work and get to business, we will use one of those awesome random tweeter generators to pull a follower name and then check for a comment from that follower. No comment? No win! We move on till we get the one!
You must reenter the contest each Tuesday, but you can only win one of the Week 1-3 prizes. But EVERYONE is eligible for the grand prize, regardless if you won any previous prizes.
The contest is open to anyone, U.S. or international alike. However, please don’t enter to win the tickets if you can’t make it to the show in Dallas. Cause that is just not cool! And we’ll be there, so we’ll know.
So are you ready to win some prizes?! Then leave a comment below and enter THIS WEEK’S giveaway for an autographed Sam poster! Be sure to leave your Twitter anem, too!!
Special thanks to Mary at Sideways Media for helping us out with part of the booty in this here contest– Thanks Mary! You’re our hero!
ohaithere Mark Kerrey!!
Man. Our stalking investigation skills have been ON this past week. I mean, with all the Marcus and magicness, I feel that I should keep the party going.
But how, you ask? How could I top MAGICNESS??
Well, never you fear dear readers. We have plenty o’ google alerts tricks up our sleeves! For today’s show I give you Mark Kerrey from The Men the Sam Bradley Band singing solo!!
word, Mark. WORD.
Mark performed recently at Frederico’s Poppy Cafe in Vancouver and luckily someone got a few songs of his on video:
Videos were found on RobbedMyHeart’s YouTube Channel. Go check out her page as she has a ton of other vids from some other artists you might know. I am not going to name names….but they might rhyme with Mam Schmadley, Farcus Moster and maybe even a couple of Slindsey’s singing too.
Happy Humpday, y’all!
Now, leave some love for Mark, yeah?? And don’t forget to follow him on twitter. And while you’re at it, do you follow us?? Er…please to be getting on that.
Where we conquer LA. And Amber gets drunk. I blame Jason Segel.
ohaithere Sam and Co....totes forgot my camera ::facepalm::
Once upon a time, LiLi and Amber packed up their little bags (well, mine was little…Amber’s could hold a small child) and flew out West to have some girly time and see one Mr. Sam Bradley at the Hotel Cafe. In case you didn’t know, Sam is playing there every Tuesday until July 13th– so if you are in the area, go check him out. And then send us pics. Word.
Now, if you know Amber or I, or hell, if you have even read one post of this here little blog, then you know that we don’t take things too seriously ’round here. That’s just us. I mean, yes, we like to give the news on the guys but we can’t help but add in our own thoughts to things. So, if you are looking for a specific-music-theory-analysis-complete-with-set-lists then sorry….this isn’t it. What it is though, is a re-telling of two fangirls’ trip to see someone that they really like. Hell, we should like him. We blog about him. But I digress….
So, pull up a chair and take a stroll with us down memory lane as we re-live our Sam experience via gchat:
We try to start off on the right track….but derail quickly:
LiLi: sooooo

Regrets, Serious Sam and Amber making LiLi a hooker:
LiLi: any regrets?
Amber: um, everything?
LiLi: BWAHAHAHA
Amber: is that a good answer?
LiLi: maybe that 11th beer?
you said, “Here Sam, sign your Serious Sam picture”
Amber: my biggest regret is that my friends didn’t stop me
LiLi: um, hell to the no
at least you weren’t the one that showed him the pic of Otto.
[LiLi edit: watch this. trust.]
Amber: TRUTH!
Amazingly, I did not have that much beer flowing through me.
LiLi: i was dead that that point. and not in that good way.
but Sam took it all in stride.
Amber: he seemed to be on his game for the night with the fans
LiLi: and during the show– cause let’s go ahead and get this out there– Sam gives good eyes

Amber: you did, i remember
LOL!
I’m sorry

LiLi: hahahaha
Click to read where we get serious about Sam, and blame Jason Segel for everything:
We’re taking this show on the road!
This past Wednesday, Sam announced, via his twitter account, that he will be preforming FOUR shows in LA this coming June and July. And guess who has two thumbs and will be there? THIS GIRL! And Amber. So, I guess that makes it four thumbs? Huh. Well, whatevs, point is….we’re taking this show on the road!
The four shows will all be at the Hotel Cafe on the following dates:
June 22nd buy tickets
June 29th buy tickets
July 6th buy tickets
July 13th buy tickets
We have plans to be at the June 29th show and we anticipate a supa good time (DUH), since we had a blast the last time we saw Sam (with The Men). I mean, check out the happiness:
How can we NOT replicate all this joy in LA? I don’t know whether The Men will be accompanying Mr. Bradley on this particular trip, BUT if they are, well, we have gone ahead and put together a little tour guide for them. I mean, we aren’t LA natives at all, so obviously we are qualified to point out the hot spots. And since we are super nice, we will even offer to personally escort them to our “Must See” sights.
First, Malibu.
You can’t go to LA and not go to the beach. So here we are, laughing it up in front of Amber and I’s rented beach house.
Next on our LA tour of fun:
In-n-Out Burger
All that frolicking in the sand will work up an appetite, so where else would we go but the ol’ In-n-Out?!
After we scarf down our Animal Style burgs we continue the festivities with a trip to:
The Santa Monica Pier
Where we will all try our hand at the Flying Trapeze classes they got going there. Of course, we will also ride the rides, play all the arcade games (6th grade Skee-ball champ, right here, yo!) and overload on some churros from the Churro Man.
After all of that, we will need a place to wind it all down. And what better place than:
The Waffle House!
I mean, if you want to get all technical and stuff, there actually isn’t a Waffle House in LA. Or all of California. But that is neither here nor there, yanno? We can make it happen.
Look how fun it would be to end the night, er, day there:
So there you have it! A spoiler alert glimpse into Amber and I’s LA Vacashe of Fun!
Will you be going to see any of Sam’s show’s in LA? Let us know! We would LOVE to meet some California peeps! And maybe actually go to an In-n-Out Burger after the show. I mean anything can happen people– anything.
Amber
