{Re-Play Thursday} Eyes Wide Open - Gotye & Giveaway Winner Announced!

"Eyes Wide Open - Gotye"

It has been a hot minute since I have posted anything. Sorry to those who actually care to read this blog but after finding out that Facebook doesn't show my feeds I would like to say I did not throw my hands in the air and yell "FINE FACEBOOK! I just won't use your ish." Then I realized that makes no sense so we meet again.

As a DJ, I get the assumption that I am on the BALL with new music and I would like to think that I am most of the time. (I do fade away into different era's sometimes and forget that I actually need to know new stuff and before I know it I have spent 80 bux downloading new stuff. I try to avoid this and spread it out) This little diddy was released last week and like his other ever popular song "Somebody That I Used To Know", I loved it. He sounds like Phil Collins and that makes me swoon right away. But his sound alone is different and, by habit, have been trying to compare to others. He nails his own sound and that is hard to do. He has been around down-under and in the UK for awhile and finally broke through in our market this year. Good for him. Oh and he has better hair than I do. Of course. 

So without further adieu:

"Eyes Wide Open"

With our eyes wide open, we...
With our eyes wide open, we...

So this is the end of the story,
Everything we had, everything we did,
Is buried in dust,
And this dust is all that's left of us.
But only a few ever worried.

Well the signs were clear, they had no idea.
You just get used to living in fear,
Or give up when you can't even picture your future.

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open.

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we...
(Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we...)
Yeah, we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we...
(Walk the plank with our eyes wide open.)

Some people offered up answers.
We made out like we heard, they were only words.
They didn't add up to a change in the way we were living,
And the saddest thing is all of it could have been avoided.

But it was like to stop consuming's to stop being human,
And why would I make a change if you won't?
We're all in the same boat, staying afloat for the moment.

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we...
(Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we...)
Yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we...
(Walk the plank with our eyes wide open.)
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open,
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open,
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we...

With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank.
With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank, we walk the plank.
With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank.

That was the end of the story.

MEMORIAL DAY GIVEAWAY!

Crystal S. got the most likes (18) and comments (10)! WAHOO! CONGRATS! You won a $100 gift card to Ticketmaster that should be in the mail as we read. Have fun with whatever you decide to do! THANK YOU ALL for posting photos and including me in your Memorial Day fun! 

Speaking of giveaways, I learned something from this first giveaway experience. I will need to space them out a little because I fund these giveaways myself. No sponsors, no help. This is just me wanting to give stuff away! I honestly was surprised by the lack of participation and I thought my prize sucked or people just didn't want to. Then I learned that facebook wants to charge business pages for all the fans to see the posts and I kinda shrugged my shoulders in defeat. Again, if you were one of the few that did post a photo - THANK YOU SO MUCH. I loved that you took a second to try to win or even if it was just to humor me. I want to keep doing these giveaways and posting blogs but I need to know it is not wasted on cyber space haha! As much as I like talking about myself, this is all for you guys. :)

Memorial Day Weekend Fun Fan Giveaway!!!!

This is my first official giveaway and I must say I am super excited. I will start off by saying this giveaway is 100% out of my pocket and I am not getting anything out of this except pure hilarity that I am sure will ensue. I am using you all for my entertainment. Duh.

Memorial Day weekend kicks off summertime and it just so happens to be my favorite ever. Everyone celebrates in their own way whether it be on the boat, at the beach or just chilling with the fam and friends! Over the weekend I want you to post a picture of yourself on my Facebook page celebrating! The most comments and likes (combined) on your photo by 11:59 pm on Monday night will win. Easy squeezy.

What will you win, you ask???? Well, another favorite thing of mine to do over the sweet summertime is to go to concerts so the winner will get a $100 TICKETMASTER GIFT CARD**. I know. I know. Calm down. I know that this is awesome.

The fine print:

1. ONE picture per person. 
2. Multiple comments from one person or you commenting on your own picture does not count. Let's be fair :) Comments AND Likes COUNT!
3. You must be a fan of Fat Cat Productions on Facebook. All fans are eligible and trust me I will check if you actually are a fan. Do not do that crap where you "Like" and then "Dislike" after the contest. This is for the long haul baby. I am fun I promise, so stick around will ya?
4. The photo MUST be Facebook appropriate. No booby, up-the-skirt, or nekkid shots ok? I will delete in a hot minute bc I get into trouble for no one. Plus no one wants to see that. If you really want me to see it, email it to me haha. 
5. BONUS! I will comment on your photo if you mention what song was playing while the picture was taken. If you can't really remember then you can make one up. I wasn't there so I will never know. You can do this in the caption part when you post it letting me know what the heck I am looking at. Me commenting = extra point. Score. 
6. ANOTHER BONUS! I will comment a second time if you can include something patriotic in your picture. After all, that is truly what the day is all about. Second comment = another extra point! Score x2. 
7. If for some reason there is a tie, I will be splitting the gift card into two $50 Ticketmaster Gift Cards. All the more reason to share a million times with your friends so they can comment on your picture and get you ahead of the game. 
8. **If a current or potential client wins they may choose to use the $100 as a credit for their event. 
9. You have to take me to the concert/event that you use your gift card on. Just kidding haha! 

I want to do more fun stuff over the summer so play nice and do not make me regret this! haha! The big thing here is I want to thank all of you for being awesome and supporting me. Every single "fan" is awesomesauce and I hope to do more giveaways, more often. So spread the word!

Go forth and post your photo then share! share! share! Good luck :)

xoxo
