Win A $500 CMJ Badge Today with a 25 Word Comment
Today we’re giving away one free CMJ Badge, WE ARE SERIOUS, as well as a DVD prize pack from “The Happening” and “Joy Ride 2.” Highlighted performers at CMJ this year are Lykke Li, Broken Social Scene, Crystal Castles, Deerhoof, Beach House, David Banner, Gang Gang Dance, Chairlift, Jay Reatar, among thousands of others.
To win, leave a comment (with your name and email address) with the best reason - real or made up - for why you deserve to win, in 25 words or fewer.
The badge itself sells for about $500, so it would be dumb not to try.
Everybody but NYU Local editors gets a shot. The contest closes at midnight, and we will announce the winner tomorrow morning. Be creative, and good luck!

I need a badge in order to stalk, seduce, and marry a member of The Whip. This requires attendance at all three of their shows.
Beau stop drawin titties you didn’t even come home last night like you said you would…

I need this badge to save the world. If I don’t win, the economy will collapse and America will fall into anarchy. Save Us All!

I need it to grant me access to take priceless photos which will end up on this blog, stimulating traffic, clicks, visitors, ad sales (=$ for all!).
Please Cody!
It’s very simple: I cannot endure another Friday night playing Palin drinking games, wasting money on a ticket to W or overdosing on heroin and crack do to my naive nihilism (thanks Half Nelson!).
Please?
I intend to document the last days of my life. CMJ, day one, is the first of those last days.

It was fate that I happened upon this 30 minutes before the end and I think that speaks for itself. Plus, don’t got no monayyy.

Wait…am I too late?! No! Let me have a late shot. I deserve to win because life is too short (like this contest!)

I will be driving from up north New Hampshire to New York to see my favorite band Darkest Hour. I really need this badge to get in to seem. Otherwise I will just be a country boy lost in the city…
