Live Show News: Weezer wants to visit you at college and play for free
November 30th, 2009 - by Eddie
Mad at Tebow for dominating college football? Then maybe you should screw Florida State by stealing Weezer from them.
In what has seemingly become a new trend in marketing, Weezer is asking fans to vote via Facebook application to help them decide which college they should play at for free.
If it worked for “Paranormal Activity“…
And as it’s alluded to in the opening line, Florida State is currently in the lead with more than 10,000 votes, half of which were done by Tim Tebow on his Motorola phone during the game on Saturday* (yes, he can do everything).
Oh, why did I pick Motorola? Because it’s their Cliq Challenge and it’s their app you have to incorporate into your Facebook profile in order to vote.
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE: November 30. Go HERE
The reward for your post-Turkey hangover is getting your school to host Weezer, who just released “Raditude,” an album that is as much fun to say as it is to hear (disclosure: I got the album from Youcast, the good people who are helping to get the word out about the contest. Happy FTC? ).
As for me, I think the band should earn the right to perform at a certain school by engaging in an obstacle course that includes feats of strength, an eating contest and having 45 minutes to create a table out of items found in a dumpster. It would mirror some of the challenges fans have gone through just to get to certain shows.
But, if ya’ll are good with Tebow and company winning something else this week, then by my guest and do nothing. As for me, I’m a Syracuse fan, a team that is only good at losing games and injuring the players on their opponent’s team.
Go Orange!
