http://www.2blossoms.com/modules.php?name=Downloads New VAST MySpace contest:
To promote their next record and tour VAST are starting a new MySpace contest.
The contest will run from now until one week before the first date of their next tour, sometime in early 2007.
There are several ways to win and several prizes. Here is how it works:
The overall winner will be whoever brings the most people to the official VAST MySpace page. You must have the person you bring to the page post a comment with your MySpace URL. They must also send a friend request to the band.
http://www.myspace.com/vast 1. First place prize: VAST will set up a private show and party in your home town. You will choose the set list and VAST will play the songs you want to hear! It will be recorded and you will receive a copy of the recording. You will be able to bring all of your friends to your free private show (depending on the size and capacity of the location). The show will be at the end of the US tour.
2. Top ten winners: The next ten participants who introduce the most people will win two VIP passes to the next VAST tour. They will also receive an autographed copy of the new record and a free t-shirt. The VIP pass includes attendance of a sound check, a dinner with the band and a chance to hang out with the band after the show, as long as the band can stay factoring in travel time to the next show.
3. Every one who brings 30 people to the VAST MySpace page will receive a free pass for entry to a VAST show of their choosing.
4. You can also win by getting your friends to join the VAST message board and mailing list (we know there are still one or two people that don't use MySpace). You must have the person post your name in a special area of the board.
5. As before, members of the VAST Fan Club will receive a free ticket to the show of their choice. There is a fee to join, please see here for info:
