Help WDS Members Qualify for a Listening Party for BWGK

[Rob]

DMB is conducting a contest for the best listening party for the new album. WDS has created a new public event page for the party on May 25th, 2009.

In order to qualify, we need the most "Confirmed Attendees" as we can get. Whether you are in the area or not, we need this in order to even hold the party.

Here are the WDS Sponsored BWGK Parties. Please confirm your attendance at all of them.

• Austin, Texas, hosted by Michael
• Boston, Massachusetts, hosted by Rob
• South Jersey/Philadelphia, hosted by Chris (dbtp)
• New York City, hosted by Jesse

Holding an event in a major city? PM Dan (Dwill26) the details of your plans!

We're on the lookout for people who can help get the word out about this page across the globe and those local to Boston who can help plan the event. For instance, we need a giant white bear costume.

Are you interested in hosting a WDS Listening Party for BWGK in your major city? We're looking for serious representatives in cities world wide. Please PM Dwill26 directly if you are interested in hosting a Listening Party in your city on behalf Weekly Davespeak.

What is getting Weekly Davespeak a copy of the album gonna do for me. I think I'll be voting on the party nearest to my location. I doubt Boston Is it. Sorry but......

[Rob]

You can vote on more than one party. So, we're looking to create a network of WDS hosted parties in major cities around the globe. If we all join each other's events, it will increase the chance that someone affiliated with our site throws a cool party and wins the contest. If you know of a great organizer in your area, please PM me the url to the FB event page and we'll reach out to expand the network.

I'm on board for the New York City crowd: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=76619839532

Join the party, let's make some music history!

I'm looking into booking a fantatsic outdoor location for a listening party in a New York City park (perhaps the large "Central" Park...)

Why don't click "I'm Attending" on the Facebook event? Even if you can't come, it would be great for you to help out the fine folks in NYC.

From my quick scan it seems there are definitely more than a hundred out there..with the leader being 626(I think) I think WDS's is in thetop 15 at the very least...if not top 10.

It's hard to remember the hosts name vs. the number. Dan is trying to compile a leader board. Should appear within a couple days or a week. We will try to update it weekly or so.
