It’s me – the new girl. Since I am new, I think it’s only appropriate that I kick things off right with a new post – and a new GIVEAWAY.
You probably read about the new band – Chasen – in Laura’s last post. They’re a pretty awesome group of guys… and they are stopping by the office next week. Since I am new here, I am going to ask them some questions to get to know them a little. This is where you guys come in handy. I want to make sure the guys answer YOUR questions, so here’s the deal. Leave your questions in the comments. I’ll have Laura draw a number out of a hat. The number will correspond to the comment on the page – which is your question. We’ll draw five numbers. If your number is picked, then we’ll get you a copy of the new Chasen album BEFORE you can get it in stores.
That’s right – you will be very VIP. So, start asking.
Make sure to check back soon to hear Chasen’s answers to your questions AND to see if you’re a lucky winner.
Oh, and this is a new year, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t win this one – there are LOTS of opportunities to win coming your way in 2010!
