Crunchgear, Zune, and the Secret Machines Breakfast/Concert Contest

posted by on November 10 at 15:14 PM

Ô, man!

The esteemed gear and gadgets blog Crunchgear is holding a contest for Seattle-area readers in which two persons will win:

  • a brand new Zune
  • a Belkin leather case
  • a special breakfast at Minnie’s in Belltown with the Secret Machines and Crunchgear’s Matt Hickey
  • entry to a special Secret Machines show at Westlake Center
  • entry to a formerly-secret Blonde Redhead show at the War Room that evening
  • drinks therein, presumably

What do you have to do to win?

We want you to show us how much you love CrunchGear and Zune. We want you to print out this document. Then we want you to have a photograph taken of you holding this document with four places around Seattle in the background: the Freemont [sic] Troll, the arrow over the Cha Cha, Safeco Field, and the Experience Music Project building-blob-thing. Once you’ve got all four photos, email them to matt at crunchgear dot com with the subject “Seattle Zune Contest.” We’ll randomly pick two winners from the pack. Make sure to include your name and a phone number. Your deadline is Sunday at Noon, got it?

The catch is that you have to have Monday open and be at the breakfast to receive the Zune and Belkin. Personally, I think that “Zune” is such a stupid name and “Belkin” sounds like a hairpiece for your choad. So this contest is all you, reader. Get on it.

Typical marketroids. There's no such thing as the "Freemont" troll.

After reading about the DMR and EULA for the Zune, I wouldn't want one.

Freedom for IP and Defective by Design will be out in force at the War Room tonight protesting Microsoft's appalling DRM and EULA.

Wanna come make some trouble with us? Be there at 8:30!

sure, Hickey misspelled Freemont but at least he got the EMP's "building-blob-thing" right!
