Bonnaroo 2009 by Snyder

One of the great pleasures of booking Bonnaroo is the opportunity to introduce other music lovers to some of the great but lesser known artists. Organizers understand many ‘Roo fans are also rabid music junkies who love to share new musical discoveries with their friends. So festival organizers are going to give you the chance to share one of your unknown musical pleasures or brand new discoveries with the Bonnaroo audience.

How?
Visit here and watch Gary Chardonnay’s Bonnaroo video (up at the top).
Look for hidden clues and then answer the questions below.
Submit your answers along with a testimonial in 25 words or less on why YOU should be allowed to book a band at Bonnaroo.

The Questions:
How many bobbleheads appear in the video?
What is the meaning of “Bonnaroo”? (Hint: it’s written in the clouds.)
How many times does Gary Chardonnay say “Bonnaroo”?
What recent (ridiculous!) news scandal is touched upon in the video?

Why Me?
Write a testimonial in 25 words or less.

The Good Stuff:
One Grand Prize winner will get to book an artist at the 2010 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.
One hundred other contestants will receive the Bonnaroo 2010 calendar as seen in the video.
The winners will be selected by our Bonnaroo judges from all correct entries combined with the most convincing “Why me?” testimonials – so that means everyone has a shot!

The Grand Prize winner will be announced on Wednesday, January 6, 2010.

How It Works:
The winner will be contacted by one or more of the Bonnaroo booking teams and will take part in a “booking call” about the festival. The winner will then work with the Bonnaroo booking team to select an act to play the festival. The winner will be expected to focus on either a favorite local/regional act from their area or a relatively new artist just achieving major recognition.

The act selected will have to meet the following criteria:
The band/artist has to have been together for at least one year with a track record of regular live performances to audiences of at least 200-300 regularly.
The band/artist has to have at least one CD that has been released for at least 6 months prior to selection.
The band/artist must not have more than one CD released on a nationally recognized recording label.
The winner may not be a member or manager of the band, nor can the winner be a music industry professional.
