Halloween Costume Contest!!!

Hi everybody!

As you all know, it's that time of year, and costumes are abundant! I am looking for a few good contestants, and even more bad ones! We here at BitB love our contests and giveaways! This contest is very, very, very simple. All you have to do is send us a photo of yourself wearing your Halloween costume, and you are entered into our drawing. We are having a drawing instead of a "who's got the best costume", that way everyone has a fair chance to win! Depending on how many people play, we may even have multiple prize giveaways!

Take a picture of YOURSELF in your costume, if you have multiple costumes, feel free to enter as many times as you like!

Let us know who you are, just your first name, we want to post your name with your picture!

Send us your photo, you can Twitpic (or equivalent) and give us a link, or email the photo to info@boredinthebasement.com.

Hm... well. Those are some really easy rules. So, you've entered, what do you win? You win a t-shirt of your choice! Anything on the website is fair game! For every ten people that play, we will give away another tshirt! 1 in 10, those are some really, really good odds! If we get over 30 people, we will break the costumes down by category and give away another cool prize, not sure what yet... We will be accepting pictures starting as soon as this post is... um... posted, up until November 5th! We will conduct the drawing on November 7th, that way if we get any late entries they get fair viewing time for people to stare... I mean observe. I am really hoping for a big turnout for this contest, tell all your friends!

Thanks Everyone, our first year has been going very smoothly, and we have you to thank! Help us to continue in business and continuing having fun!

As always,

love

#PantsOff

We got bored... that's what happens in our basement. Our friends over at YourMusicShow and Bored in the Basement have teamed up to bring a new contest!

First let's talk about YourMusicShow. These guys are like a couple of last true DJs. With a motto of "if you can't change the scene, just make one", you know you have people that love the music. To be honest, I followed these guys only because they fell into a circle of friends I was already following. Even then, I only joked with them and never really even thought of listening to their podcast. Then, a month or so later, the boys over at YourMusicShow started their fund raising quest to get better equipment, funds for exploring and finding new music, and getting out of a living room... but I don't know what's wrong with running a business out of a room in your house........... Bored in the Basement

Well, that's enough name calling... Here's where to find them!

Online: YourMusicShow

Twitter: @yourmusicshow

FaceBook: Your Music Show

Now that their semi-shameless plug is over, seriously, checkout their KickStarter, it's hard to find people that are anti-radio only songs. We pledged, now you should. With that out of the way, lets get to the contest. #pantsoff

One of the most common things I see in the @yourmusicshow twitter trails is #pantsoff. I feel it's time for everyone that likes these guys, or would like to get to know them, antes up! This contest is simple, I'll quickly go over the rules:

1. Follow @yourmusicshow

2. Like Your Music Show

3. Post your best pants off picture!

That should be pretty simple right? When you post your picture, you can do it one of three ways, you can @ reply to either @yourmusicshow or @BitB_Shirts, then we'll place it right here in the blog. The second way to enter is for you to directly post it to our blog, on the #PantsOff Contestants Page.

If neither of these options work for you, maybe you need someone to help you get #pantsoff.

"Ok, ok, so you've entered, now how do I win" - You

Well, You, that's easy. We just throw all the contestants into a hat and draw a name.

"What do I win?" - You

Two things, everyone wins a few new friends, and depending on how many people play, a few lucky people will win shirts of their choice from Bored in the Basemen!

"Can I enter more than once?" - You

You would be stoopid not too. For every picture you submit of yourself #pantsoff you will get one entry for the contest... but I think we will only allow 2... or maybe 3 entries per day, just because if you're like me, you'll cheat until you win. Plus we want to keep your posts original.

"How long will this contest be going on?" - You

You... you have a lot of questions, but I like that you are being thorough. Contest... ok, how does August 4th work? That gives us plenty of time to have plenty of people play, and it's also the last day that people can (and better) pledge money for continued show. So, You, do you have any more questions?

"Just one... well two... what can our pictures contain? and... do you have a soda I could have?" - You

Your pictures can have anything, I guess. However, if there are naked bits in your #pantsoff, I may need to slap a CENSORED block on it just so our blog people don't get angry... and um... so it stays kid friendly. As for the soda... you're a mooch, did you pledge yet? If you pledged then yes, you can have my last orange soda.

That's all for now, and as always.

Love

Tom and Ant
