FOUR (4) TICKETS TO BYU’S 9-MAN A CAPPELLA SENSATION:
VOCAL POINT!
Friday, April 26, 2013
7:30 p.m.
Cottonwood High School
For those of you who have
never heard of Vocal Point, let me just be the first one to say… “Welcome to
earth!” That’s right, everybody knows who Vocal Point is b’cept you, and my
gosh, I wish you could see your face right now, you are so embarrassed!
Vocal Point has been a performance
staple in Utah County, due to their affiliation with BYU, but they achieved
national recognition due to their critical and crowd-pleasing performances on
NBC’s The Sing- Off. To give you a
sample, here is their performance of Bobby Brown’s Every Little Step.
Pretty great, right? So,
these guys are performing a week from this Friday, at Cottonwood High School,
in Salt Lake. This will be their first concert in over a year and the final
performance for veterans Keith Evans and Robert Seely.
HERE’S HOW TO WIN YOUR 4
TICKETS!
1. Post on your Facebook wall about the concert, linking to the Vocal Point Concert page. https://www.facebook.com/events/460213150712347/?fref=ts (Or you can Tweet about it.)
2. Leave a comment here on our blog letting us know that you've done it!
THAT'S IT! Then we will randomly select a name out of those who've commented here on our blog. We will select a winner THIS FRIDAY, so you have today through Thursday to post about it and leave a comment here! Then check back on Friday to see who the winner is. (We'll need you to email in your contact information when you are declared the winner.)
If you don’t win, you can
still get tickets for the April 26th show by purchasing them online at www.byuvocalpoint.edu/events or
at the door. Tickets start at just $6 and group rates are available. A portion
of every ticket sold will be donated to the BYU Vocal Point Scholarship Fund.
You guys. I am super excited about this giveaway. Not only because I love giveaways (who doesn't?!) but because this is a product that I use and love.
Today we are giving away three (3!!) packs of Airbudz by SafeSound Products. I am a runner. And because running on the tiny track at the rec center with the senior citizens and their walkers makes me crazy, I am much happier and much more motivated when I can run outside. And when I run, I have to have my music (I have a lovely little play list called "Run, Tall Boy, Run!") But when you are outside with regular rubber tipped headphones, they block out TOO much sound. You want to be able to hear - cars passing, other runners coming up behind you, etc.
Enter Airbudz. These little rubber tips replace the noise-blocking tips that come with your headphones. They have specially designed air channels that allow ambient noise to come in so you can still hear your music, but you can also hear that semi barrelling towards you. Or the zombie horde that is approaching from behind. When your run is done, the Airbudz easily pop off and you can put your regular noise cancelling tips back on.
But they aren't just for runners. Let's say you like to listen to the Slate Culture Gabfest while you are folding the laundry. And even though you don't WANT to hear your kids, you feel like as a responsible parent, you should be able to keep an ear on them. Airbudz! You can still be culturally uplifted and distracted as you work, but if world war 3 breaks out upstairs (and you know it will) you won't totally be oblivious to it.
They have been featured in CNET, USA Today, Wired and everyone loves them. I really do own and use the Airbudz and I love them, too. And so will you. And we, and the generous folks at SafeSound Product, are giving away 3 sets!
Here is what you get:
A pack of Airbudz in THE COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE. Go here to see the color options - I got the neon (because of course I did.)
Each pack contains 9 pairs of Airbudz. A pair of small, medium and large in each of the three colors. So you can pick the size that fits your ears the best and switch up the colors when the mood strikes you. Or I guess you could share them with your running partner if you are a nice person. (But don't get any bright ideas, Brian. I'm keeping all of mine.)
You also get the handy little carrying case pictured above. It's great to keep your extra Airbudz in and keep your noise cancelling tips when you are using you Airbudz.
And here's how you can win:
Leave a comment on this post (not on the FB page. It has to be on this post.) Tell us how you plan on using your Airbudz if you win!
For a bonus entry: go to Facebook and like the Part Time Authors page. Leave a SEPARATE comment telling us you did that. (And if you already like the PTA page, just tell us that.)
And for another bonus entry: go to Facebook and like the SafeSound Products page. Your going to want to do that anyway to see what exciting products these guys come up with next. When you've done that, leave another SEPARATE comment on this post telling us that you liked the SafeSound page.
You have until next Saturday (February 16th) to leave a comment. Winner's will be announced on Monday February 18th.
It's important that each of your entries is a separate comment. When we pick a winner, we basically (literally) draw a comment out of a hat. So if you tell us in one comment that you did all three things, it will only count as one entry.
And be sure to share this post! Tell your friends! Get the word out about this great product. You will love it. I can't wait to pick the winners!
Disclosure: While SafeSound Products is providing the prizes for this giveway, the opinions expressed are all my own. I really do love this product.

Congrats!!! Click on the "contact us" link on the side of the homepage and email me your addresses. I'll get your books out as soon as I have my copies from the publisher (I'll get as many of the PTAs to sign it as I can, so let me know if you have a request for your dedication.)
Angry that you didn't win? First off, don't hate me. Hate random.org. And, we are giving away 10 copies of the book through Goodreads! Enter to win through them. And, be my Goodreads Friend while you are at it.
It our inaugural giveaway!!! We will be giving away to two lucky recipients copies of our soon to be released book Tell Me Who I Am. I know you usually like to enter giveaways on Design Mom and The Pioneer Woman for cameras and $500 gift cards. We are working our way up to those, we promise. But let's be honest: you'll never win any of those giveaways. They have THOUSANDS of people enter. So your chance is...well one in thousands.
But we are just spreading our fledgling wings to fly through the sun-dappled skies of this Internet (too much imagery? OK, I'll tone it down.) and we will have 2 winners so you have a really good chance of winning!
If you haven't heard, Tell Me Who I Am is a collection of essays by LDS authors and bloggers. It is moving, funny, emotional, funny inspiring and also funny. It all about family, Mormonism, parenthood, friendship and more. You'll love it.
Here is how the giveaway works:
Enter below by leaving a comment. Any comment.
You have until Monday 3/12 at 12am MST (or whenever I go to bed) to enter.
Two lucky entries will receive copies of our hot-off-the-press book. I will even sign it for you (and see if I can get any of the other guys to sign too.) if you want. This baby is gonna be worth money some day!
BONUS ENTRY: Share your favorite post on Facebook and leave us another comment telling us which entry you Facebook Shared (don't worry - it isn't a popularity contest. We are not at ALL trying to see who has the most shared post.) There is even a little "share" button at the bottom of each post. It's that easy.
Winners will be randomly selected and announced Tuesday.
So enter now! What are you waiting for?! Don't you want a free book!!
