UPDATE: We have a WINNER! Huge huge thanks to all of you who participated in this quick contest. We had thousands of tweets and threads and trends all over the internet. It gives me great pleasure to announce the winner…drum roll…wait for it…. Amy Rollo (@brookland on Twitter). All told we had people from 94 countries participate. While my pocketbook hasn’t been so lucky in past contests, as I’ve had winners from Hong Kong and India for similar give aways, this time my wallet and the winner’s travel schedule lucked out on the draw. Amy is from the USA. Big ups to the so many of you who tweeted your brains out – I noticed lots of you and have followed many of you back. #Respect to you all for playing.

This is another one of those gigs where I pinch myself – getting to work alongside some of the best indie bands in the world – AND… Here’s a kicker: I want you and a friend to join me for FREE.
I’ll pick up airfare, lodging and VIP tickets for you and one friend (or just you) for the entire 3 day event below…plus time for us to hang out and drink beer together. And it’s NEXT week – PLUS WE’RE LIVE STREAMING THE ENTIRE EVENT. Read on…
The Capitol Hill Block Party is Seattle’s premier mid-summer music festival where more than 100 bands take over Seattle’s hippest neighborhood on 6 stages over three days. (Check out the insane lineup here.) And right now I’m freaking STOKED to announce that we’ll be #cjLIVE streaming the festivities — private performances, artist interviews, and main stage shows — for the entire 3 day event.
Here’s how you can enter to win tickets — airfare, hotel, and VIP tix to the festival — to join us in Seattle. It’s easy.
First, this giveaway couldn’t be possible without the support of my friends at the Block Party (love you guys) and TargetSEA (congrats on new SEA store) who are graciously supporting my ability to share this #cjLIVE internet feed with the world, so you MUST be following BOTH of them–and yours truly–on Twitter here:
@CHBlockParty http://www.twitter.com/chblockparty
@chasejarvis http://www.twitter.com/chasejarvis
@targetSEA http://www.twitter.com/targetSEA
Second, tweet this exact tweet below, only be sure to personalize it by inserting a cool word or phrase about music… (ie Music is LIFE, Music is ALL I NEED, etc)
Music is [insert your thought here]! I wanna go to the #CHBP or at least watch it #cjLIVE w @chasejarvis @targetSEA http://bit.ly/OAhg6t
Lastly, enter (tweet the above) as often as you like with variations on “Music is ____”. Contest runs from right now through Sunday July 15th at noon Seattle Time. And the contest is worldwide. Winner will be chosen at random and notified via Twitter and posted here on my blog on Monday JULY 16.
Who: You, Me, 100 bands, and a worldwide gathering of creative people
What: a LIVE, interactive broadcast of The Capitol Hill Block Party music festival in Seattle
When: This Friday, July 20 – Sunday July 22 (Detailed schedule of all day broadcasts coming soon.)
Where: tune in to www.chasejarvis.com/live. It’s free – anyone can watch and we’ll be taking YOUR questions during artist interviews, LIVE via Twitter.
It’s that easy… I’ll be working my butt off for these 3 days–shooting video, stills, and streaming this live music, interviews, performances at what-not. But we’ll also be partying and having the time of our lives. Whether you win the trip to hang with us in Seattle or you are able to tune in live at www.chasejarvis.com/live during the event to watch, interact online and get good music piped right into your home, my hope is that you love what you see and join me in doing what we can, spreading the message and democratizing access to this stuff as best we can with our guts, our will, and technology.
UPDATE: I’m doing a special trivia game via Twitter tonight, so keep your eyes peeled to my twitter feed @chasejarvis and @targetSEA at 6pm SEA time (9pm NYC time)
More updates coming soon – stay tuned. Please enter to win the contest. I’d love to meet you in person. Check out the video below – we’re gonna have a damn good time.

hey @ john, not to engage you too deeply in your inaccurate yelping, just a heads up that the two most recent winners of international contests I’ve hosted were both people of color from different continents – one from China (Hong Kong), the other from India. So check your facts homie. And from here on out, only say nice things.
