Squamish Fest Frenzy!

This summer's Squamish Fest (Aug 8, 9, 10) lineup was announced today with much fanfare. There was a media frenzy! Twitter and Facebook exploded!!! Rightfully so though, as the lineup is incredible!

Headliners are Bruno Mars, Arcade Fire, and Eminem. WOW!!! Something for everyone...almost. There will always be haters - one doesn't like Bruno Mars, one doesn't like Eminem, another dislikes Arcade Fire. But with a HOST of other days and artists to choose from, there's not much to complain about! If you don't like an artist, that would be a good time to run into town for supplies. Or a shower.

Other artists:
Arctic Monkeys
Broken Bells
Foster the People
The Roots
Lykke Li
Thievery Corporation
The Head and the Heart
Sam Roberts Band
Atmosphere
Serena Ryder
Tokyo Police Club
Boys Noize
Danny Brown
Gramatik
Austra
Walk Off the Earth
Mayer Hawthorne
Lord Huron
Kevin Drew
Hollerado
Ryan Hemsworth
Mounties
Whitehorse
The Zolas
Felix Cartal
Black Joe Lewis
Cyril Hahn
Herobust
We Are the City
Head of the Herd
Topless
Good for Grapes
Aidan Knight
Rykka
Cityreal
The Courtneys
Louise Burns
Zerbin
Slam Dunk
The Oceanographers

Now for the reason you're here: how do I win tickets?? Every station that plays this music will have oodles of free weekend passes to dole out. The trick is figuring out WHEN to call. So check the daily schedule - I will do my best to find out when tickets are being given away.

Sonic gave away their first tickets immediately after the announcement, and will have "a ton" more to hand out.

Peak will have tickets at 12:15 daily.

Shore will have tickets, probably on the morning show but will update when I know for sure.

CFOX will have tickets between 3 and 6 each day, on the Todd Hancock show.

Virgin will have tickets during Breakfast With Nat and Drew. I hope it's easier to win than the Newlyweddish game for those Katy Perry tickets! That was brutal!

No news from Jack, QMFM, or Beat yet, but I suspect we will hear of tix from them too. Stay tuned...

VanCity Buzz and Hello VanCity will also have tickets, so watch their FB and Twitter. I'd bet 604 Now and Georgia Straight will also have some to share.

To be honest, I don't know 80% of these bands. But I love to support local artists, and hope you do too.

Unfortunately the residents, trees, and environment of Squamish will pay dearly for this festival, so please be kind and considerate. Don't litter, keep the noise down, and be respectful. And leave it as you found it - SPECTACULAR!!!

:D

Weekend Rap-Up, KCS style

Have you ever heard the KCS on Sonic do their Weekend Rap-Ups? It's loads of fun! And always inspires me to do my own version. So here it is:

The weekend flew by
But at least it was dry
No rain, yo!
Fog's a pain tho!
Planes couldn't fly!

This crazy inversion
Is melting all the snow
Sledding with the kids
Was a no-go.

Kids were sick anyway
With a persistent cough
Made them wear hats
But they took 'em off.

Friends came for dinner and drinks around the fire,
Her hubby couldn't make it, sadly
Because we had a jam session with hubby on guitar, friend on piano
Son on drums and me singing badly.

Sunny Saturday
We cleaned the yard
Rode bikes to the candy store
I paid with my card

Socked in Sunday
Walked on the beach
Came across a dead seal,
Used it as a moment to teach

Had burgers at Vera's
You really CAN'T beat their meat!
Even the kids pigged out
They don't usually eat!

A quiet weekend
It was, it was
Which clears the soul
It does, it does.

Weekly overview, Jan 27th - 31st

Last week was c-r-a-z-y busy! More of the same this week! Let's go through station by station:

Virgin Radio (95.3)

- the Alpine Compatibility Quiz will tell you which celebrity you should share a chairlift with. For some reason this does not work on my iPad. But you can enter here, and maybe win a Silver Star ski getaway.

- have you put in your lowest unique bid for that $10,000 ring yet? Join in the Reverse Auction fun here. Unfortunately, the contest doesn't end until 5 pm Feb 14th, making it too late for the winner to pick it up as a Valentine's Day present. Must be a VIP to bid.

- No need to be a VIP to tell them about your Dose of Happiness and maybe win a trip to Whistler! Enter here. Brought to you by Northshore Auto Mall.

- also by the Northshore Auto Mall is the Happy Endings code word on Fridays - text it to 99999 for a chance to win $250. This didn't happen last Friday (or happened after 7:08 when I stopped waiting for it!) bit when I hear it I will post it on FaceBook and Twitter.

- Like and comment on Emilie and Simone's fabulous Abantu Hot Minute video here and you could win $250 (to spend at Abantu, I believe).

- have you ever wanted to have coffee with Nat and Drew? Apply here, and they might just show up with coffees, teas, and a special present to your workplace. I doubt they actually stick around and have coffee though...

Jack FM (96.9)

This is short and sweet: listen for a chance to win 4 passes to the Jack FM Super Party at the River Rock on Sunday, February 2nd. They are not allowed to say that you will be watching the Super Bowl with the Jack FM crew, but I can! This would be so fun...if I watched football!

QMFM (103.5) 

Log in to enter a BC Ferries trip to Victoria, a Wellness Show gift basket, and movie passes.

Sonic (104.9)

- Guys can enter the Shoe-per-bowl (a race wearing high heels) on Friday the 31st downtown at Granville and Georgia. Winner teeters away with a pair of CL shoes for his girl (or guy, whatever).

- enter on Sonic's FaceBook page here to win $1000 to spend at the Tacori Loft at Harling's Jewelers. All you have to do is tell them what you need to suck up, I mean, apologize for.

Rock 101 (101.1)

- Log in to win a surprise visit by the Willy in the Morning crew on Super Bowl Sunday. They will bring by a TV, beer fridge, X-Box One, and junk food. Meanwhile, this is the last week to call in daily to qualify to win a trip to Mexico.

The Peak (102.7)

- aside from the $1000 and endless concert tickets, gift certificates, and all around good vibes, log into your VIP account to enter the Chopping Block contest. This looks like wicked fun, and I desperately want my husband to apply! Four at-home cooks, three courses, and mystery ingredients. Love it!!!

CFOX (99.3)

- qualify for the draw for a trip to Hawaii every day, but don't forget to log into your account to enter to win a trip to Toronto to see Sam Roberts Band, or invitations to the Big Ass Party on Feb 2nd at Hard Rock Casino Vancouver.

JRFM (93.7)

- Red Solo Cup. *sigh*, I just love this game. I can't gush about it enough. But on top of that, they will have Lady Antebellum, Monster Jam, and Abbotsford Heat tickets to be won on-air.

The Beat (94.5)

FaceBook page and this weekend

I've finally figured out how to make a FaceBook page. Turns out, it's not all that complicated! There was some figuring out, but after far less frustration than I had anticipated, I managed to manage! Hah!!

So please go "Like" it, if you'd like. And if you like it, feel free to comment. I put it up because not everyone is on Twitter, so hopefully I can keep a wider group of people informed through FB.

There are a bunch of new and fun contests, but they won't start until Monday. Most notably, The Peak has a cool cooking contest that you should check out! I've posted it on FB, so now you have a reason to go see the new page. ;)

This weekend looks uneventful. It's possible that Sonic will still be qualifying people for the Whistler trip. If so, I will update this post, and tweet it, and now, FB post it. And I will also be trying to qualify, because we'd love to go play in the snow with our kids!

:)

GAME ON!! Sonic is qualifying people this weekend. Get on that stand-by list at 8:10, 12:10, 5:10 and 8:10 each day. Draw is on Monday.

Friday, Jan 24th

The Peak is giving away $1000 each day! Are you a VIP? Now's a good time to sign up - do it here! Listen for the Pay Day Band at 9, 11, 2, 5 and 7, enter as many as you have by midnight that day, and they could reward you with $1000 the following day. I tweet them all so check my twitter at the end of the day. You don't have to have a Twitter account, just google "@contestsvan and Peak Pay Day", and they should show up. I've also added a Peak Pay Day post that I will update every evening.

The Fox has trips to Hawaii (qualify at 7, 9, 12, 3 and 5), Rock 101 has trips to Mexico (qualify at 8, 11, 2 and 5), and at JRFM, play Red Solo Cup to win a trip to Vegas at 7, 11, 2, 5 and 7. Keep up to date on the Red Solo Cup contest with the post here.


Three times per day The Beat will call a name and that person has 15 minutes to call them back. If they do, they can have their bill paid (up to $1000)! So go register here, and listen to Beat at 7:10, 11:10, and 3:10 (or watch my Twitter feed and I will tweet the names if I hear them).


Jack and Sonic have skiing trips, with draws on Monday. Qualify 4 times per day at Sonic (Whistler), 6 times per day on Jack (Big White). Either of these would be fantastic!!


At some point, Shore will have Foster the People tickets. When I hear, I will let you know...

JRFM Red Solo Cup Contest

I am brimming with excitement about this contest! I can barely contain it!! Now that it is underway, all of my previous questions have been answered.

If you aren't familiar with the game, here's how it works: there are 5 red solo cups, numbered 1-5. First thing in the morning, they put "WINNER" under (or IN?) one of the cups. If you are the lucky caller (no set number, they randomly pick a line) you get to pick one of the cups. If yours says WINNER, you instantly win a trip to Vegas, including air, hotel, food gift certificate, and show tickets. Ah-mazing!

If the trip is not won all day, as happened on Monday, the trip is left there till the next day, when another trip is put under a different cup. Yes, like Tuesday, there will be TWO trips to be won that day! The trick here is to listen every time so you know which cups have been tried already, just in case you get to play. And if you can't listen, just check my twitter or blog - I will let you know!

If you pick the wrong cup, you get nothing but you can play again. Good luck getting through - I try every time with 3 phones and haven't even gotten a ring! I am persistent though, and that often pays off...

With this post, I'm going to keep you updated on the cups that have been chosen each day.

Radio Star contest

This contest has flown under the radar, at least with me. But it is a great contest for artists that are struggling to find their place in the music market. So if you know someone who is a great song writer or musician or band, has never had a chart-topping hit, and meets all the other criteria, have them enter this contest here.

The contest rules state that you are to submit a song no more than 5 minutes in length in an mp3 format. Sounds reasonable. But then Rule 6 comes along:

"6.  Judging will be comprised of industry professionals, radio station staff and online public voting.  The public will be invited to provide their vote from March 10th to March 24th.  The radio station executives will measure this feedback to create a social media score. Entries will be judged on the following criteria:
a.)  songwriting quality – originality, lyrics, melody, composition
b.)  artist or band performance (based on both audio recording and video link)
c.)  overall musicianship of artist or band"
Ummm...video link?? Huh. So as well as recording the song, your application may be enhanced by adding a link to a video of the song. What a great idea! And they just slipped it in there. This should be a bigger part of the promotion for the contest - who wouldn't want to make a music video?!?! So FUN!

I wish I could sing...or dance...or play an instrument... The most I can do is write lyrics. I wrote a song called "Mommy's Having a Bad Day", so if there's a band of tired mommies that wants to record a music video, let me know! :D 

Monday, Jan 20th

Another exciting week ahead! Cash from Peak and Beat, trips, concert tix, etc from others.

The Peak is giving away $1000 each day! Woot!! Are you a VIP? Now's a good time to sign up - do it here! Listen for the Pay Day Band at 9, 11, 2, 5 and 7, enter as many as you have by midnight that day, and they could reward you with $1000 the following day. I tweet them all so check my twitter at the end of the day. You don't have to have a Twitter account, just google "@contestsvan and Peak Pay Day", and they should show up.

The Fox has trips to Hawaii (qualify at 7, 9, 12, 3 and 5), Rock 101 has trips to Mexico (qualify at 8, 11, 2 and 5), and at JRFM, play Red Solo Cup to win a trip to Vegas at 7, 11, 2, 5 and 7.

Three times per day The Beat will call a name and that person has 15 minutes to call them back. If they do, they can have their bill paid (up to $1000)! So go register here, and listen to Beat at 7:10, 11:10, and 3:10 (or watch my Twitter feed and I will tweet the names if I hear them).
