Update: The contest is over! Congratulations to our winners, Meredith and Jessie! And thank you to all those who participated. We can’t thank you enough!

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen… would you like to attend Chicago’s Lollapalooza? Are you interested in catching Foo Fighters’ triumphant set at Grant Park? Do you want to “lose yourself” to Eminem? Are you totally crushin’ on Jim James? Or, maybe you’re just dying to sweat a storm over at Perry’s Stage? All conceivable possibilities if you had tickets.

But, you don’t.

That’s why you’re reading this — right? Naturally. Don’t worry though, once again your pals at Consequence of Sound have you covered. Sort of. Actually, let’s just lay out all the facts, it’s just easier that way. Wouldn’t want to confuse anyone…

Fact #1: We have a pair of passes that can get you and a very, very special someone into Grant Park.

Fact #2: There can be only one winner.

Fact #3: This will require some work.

If you’ve come to terms with those facts, then here’s what you need to do next: Promote us. Yep, that’s all we ask. But, you need to get creative. Don’t just go and bookmark our page or tell your best friend. We’re talking “big picture” stuff. Create some flyers, design a commercial, get a CoS tattoo (well, maybe not), or plan an outing… The sky is the limit, so long as it’s a.) legal and b.) safe. We just need proof, so videotape or take a photo of whatever you’re doing and add it to the comments below. We’ll choose our favorite next Thursday, July 28th — so yeah, consider that the deadline.

Who knows? Maybe we’ll have some second and third place prizes, too. It’s chaos! And you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.

p.s. If you’re not “into this”, then you can always try and win passes at our Official Lollapalooza Pre-Party!

    You said this was “fair” but i have a hard time believe that a less attractive girl or even a guy could gyrate around with a hula hoop for two minutes and have won this contest. If that’s all you were looking for why didn’t you just have a wet t-shirt contest instead? I mean, i know none of these entrants are that great but you could of at least picked one of the more creative ones instead. I’ve been a loyal reader for a long time and i don’t really appreciate CoS turning into my local classic rock radio station’s website. I thought you were different than all the other boys, but i guess i was wrong.

      Uh, you can think what you want, but they were selected because a.) it was the ballsiest promotion of them all and 2.) it reached the greatest amount of people. The goal was to promote. We felt this did the best job. Had nothing to do what they looked like tbh.

    P.S.  I would have made cupcakes that said CoS and passed them out with a mini business card that I made with your info on it.  Yep, pwned. Damnit.

    I’m not kidding you, I will get a CoS tattoo if I win those tickets. I won’t do it until then, but you can hold me to it if I win.

    Through a series of somewhat bizarre events (looking up Regina Spektor songs) i stumbled upon this video on youtube. Which subsequently led me to this website and i must say, i like what i see. It’s like a cross between Pitchfork and Rolling Stone but much easier to navigate. I look forward to reading in the future. Good luck to Greg as well in this contest. I know you brought at least one person here :)
