Twitter Contest – Starting Wed, May 20 @ noon EST!

Hey folks, it’s Kara. Just wanted to let you know that you can….

Win a limited SIGNED edition of The Continental Divide, a War Tapes T-shirt, and any THREE releases from the Sarathan Records catalog!

You could win this T-shirt!

Step 1. Follow @Consulton on Twitter
Step 2. Tweet the most about War Tapes’ song, “Dreaming of You” (http://bit.ly/freeWT). Include in each tweet….

• the following hash tag: #WarTapes-c1
• the album purchase link: http://bit.ly/WT-A
• new @replies in each tweet!

For example, using their twitter profile (twitter.com/SarathanRecords), Sarathan Records could tweet me a message saying:

@KaraMSarathan “I saw you in a dream…” & I envision you’d like War Tapes! http://bit.ly/WT-A #WarTapes-c1

Contest Duration: The contest runs for twenty-four hours, beginning Wed, May 20 @ noon EST and ending the following day at the same time.

How We’ll Find the Winners

To find the winners (there will be two!), Sarathan will perform this equation:
[total # of tweets sent regarding WT download page] + [total # of unique people sent an @reply with the messages]

(The above example tweet from SarathanRecords would earn them 1 point for the tweet and another point for the @reply included in the tweet…. A total of 2 points!)

Whoever has the biggest number in the end wins!! Remember to be CREATIVE, because favor will be shown to those who tweet the most interesting tweets, especially in a tie situation!

For example, you might include key phrases from the War Tapes song “Dreaming of You” (lyrics below).

Dreaming of You <–  Click to hear the song!
War Tapes

I’ve seen this all before
from the backseat of my life
on a run-down suburban road
that winds and winds, but you never seem to find anything

Refrain:
I saw you in a dream
a dream that always seems to be real
but the truth is you’re nowhere near
and I don’t care

I’ll just sleep my life away (dreaming of you)
And in a different time and place
In a house I’ve never lived
I hear you knocking at my door
So hard I try, but you never want to come inside

(Refrain)

I hear you knocking at my door….
I hear you knocking at my door….

And when I wake, you’re nowhere near
and when I wake, I’m all alone

(Refrain)

Winners will be announced on June 3 (my boyfriend’s birthday).
