Odd One Video Shoot

More from the Odd One shoot
They say a photo is worth a thousand words and these days it’s a whole lot easier to share our words this way. We just got home from an amazing tour with Nickelback in Australia and we’re working on the Odd One video. We’ll be hitting the road again soon with Breaking Benjamin and other rockin’ acts. See you there!

Sick Puppies Pumpkin Carving Contest 2009

Pumpkin Carving Contest
Contest starts October 1, 2009
Contest ends November 1, 2009
Rules/Guidelines
This contest is open to all World Crew members aged 13 and older.
Get a pumpkin and decorate it with something relating to Sick Puppies. Designs can be drawn, carved, painted, etc.
You CANNOT use computer graphics … all designs MUST be done by hand. There will be 2 categories for this contest: pumpkins that have been pierced/carved, and pumpkins that contain drawings/paintings only.
Offensive and/or inappropriate designs will not be considered.
Method of submission
Take a photograph of your design(s) and upload the photo(s) to Photobucket, TinyPic or a similar site. Send the URLs to spwc2009@gmail.com along with your username, your real name, mailing address and date of birth. Please also specify in the email whether your submissions are pierced/carved or drawn.
Everyone who enters will receive 25 points for each submission. You can submit up to 3 designs.
You will receive an extra 25 points if you also take a picture of the pumpkin on your doorstep on Halloween (we will require the picture to include a costumed individual to prove it was taken on Halloween..and for our amusement
).
If you do choose to get these 25 bonus points, simply send a link to the picture before November 5, 2009 to spwc2009@gmail.com and the points will be added to your grand total.
Voting
All submissions will be put up for a vote within 1 week of the contest end. Please DO NOT reveal which submission is your own so the voting process can be as fair as possible.
Prize
Prizes will be given to both the best carved pumpkin AND the best drawn pumpkin, as decided by a vote. Winners will each receive a signed setlist from one of Sick Puppies’ shows, as well as 100 points.
Please note that if there aren’t enough entrants for one of the categories (we require AT LEAST five entrants per category), both categories will be merged and one prize will be given. To clarify, if we only receive two drawings (for example), the entries will be merged with the carved category and only one prize will be awarded.
Need carving tips? Check out this site.
Sick Puppies, their management and World Crew have the rights to all photos to use on websites and publications without any further credit or payment promised.
St. Louis, Missouri & the Shinedown Tour Kick Off
It’s been a busy few days back from a short break and boy did we have some amazing welcomes back! Thank you to everyone who came out for the last date of the Sick Puppies/Hurt tour in St. Louis. First you packed the T-Mobile store in the afternoon. When we say packed, we mean there wasn’t any room left inside the building and we had fans standing outside. Thank you to TMobile for hosting us so well and handing out free food and drinks to everyone to keep them rockin’ and cool.
We had a bunch of our World Crew family and Ambassadors show up and help us celebrate the new site and forum designs at www.sickpuppiesworldcrew.net. Check it out and let us know what you think.
That night we returned to one of our favourite venues, The Pageant. You guys helped us sell out the venue! It was so awesome to see both levels totally packed. Thanks for making our last show a great one! Well, last show with Hurt anyway. We’re on the road with Shinedown and hope to see even more of you soon. We’re also in the process of adding new merch from the road onto our online merch store – so check it out often: www.sickpuppiesmerch.net
