Fun, Fun, Fun!

Countdown to Blogathon 2007 has begun! I’m getting very excited! To date there are 494 bloggers participating and so far the total amount of pledges is at $56,245.35 and I even have $30.00 in pledges already and we haven’t even started yet! I will be blogging to benefit the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. See my Give A Little Bit post for the full story.

I was trying to come up with contest ideas, but I dislike judging contests and I’ll probably be a little tired, so I have decided to have a raffle instead! I have been seeking out the coolest of cool little raffle gifts (which will be revealed tomorrow in my Wordless Wednesday) and here’s how you can get raffle tickets!

#1) For every $5.00 in pledges you make, you get 2 raffle tickets! You can pledge anonymously if you’d like, but if you do and you’d like to participate in the raffle, please e-mail me or comment so I know how to contact you. If you’d like to make a pledge you can do so by clicking here.

#2) If you write a Guest Blog post for me, I will give you 3 raffle tickets!! So far I have several guest bloggers lined up, all very talented people, of course. If you would like to guest blog during the Blogathon, just comment and let me know. So far on my guest list is The Big BahUna, Damien Riley, Shelly, Michael C, Jessica Morris and posts by at least two of my musically talented kids! Some guest blogs will be written and some might even be actual performances. You’ll have to see when it happens!

#3) I will be posting trivia questions throughout the Blogathon. I may decide on an actual time frame, we’ll see. Full details of contest times will be posted in my Thursday Thirteen! The first comment I get with the correct answer gets a raffle ticket! I don’t even care if you cheat and google it!

#4) I will also give you a raffle ticket if you write a small announcement on your blog or website telling them about Blogathon and linking back to my site. Please leave a comment on this post so I know to enter you into the raffle.

#5) Michael C @ The Wonderful World of Nothing Worthwhile recently did a Q & A post, which had me in stitches. I think something like this would be fun and a great source of blog posts, so if you have a question for The Rock Chick about anything (NC-17 rated or less) just ask in the comments on this post and I’ll answer during Blogathon! Even better, for every question you ask, you get a raffle ticket!

Even if you don’t blog, you can participate! You can play along by commenting anonymously and just signing your name at the bottom of the comment. Check back, though, so I can get in touch with you if you win something!

Also, I will have my Yahoo! Messenger up and on during the Blogathon! I might even have my webcam going (don’t get too excited, I said NC-17 or less, remember?) which you will be able to see with Yahoo Messenger. If you don't have it, download it now! It's free!

My Yahoo ID is jessicatherockchick. Add me to your list!
