If you’ve been trying to access this post, you should have better luck now. However, I’m in the process of restoring all the comments that didn’t make the transition, so if you know you filled out the MIR form and left a comment here, you may not see your comment for an hour or so. If you still don’t see your comment by the end of the night, just send me an email and I’ll get it fixed.
Thanks for your patience, everybody!
So the people at the Gospel Music Association do this little thingy called Music in the Rockies. Music in the Rockies is a place where songwriters and performers and worship leaders can go and get all sorts of great training. And here is where I could start a big huge list of all the people who will be performing at this year’s MIR, but instead I’ll just direct you here because y’all are very, very good at the clicking and the reading.
Another component to MIR is that they have sessions where parents can learn how to protect their kids in the music industry. I know some of you have super-talented kids with some mighty big dreams, and this would be a great opportunity for you to learn how to help facilitate those dreams AND make sure you and your family head into the music industry with your eyes wide open.
MIR also provides the chance to get some feedback from successful professional musicians and other music industry people, which I’m guessing would be pretty invaluable if you’re wondering if you or someone you love has what it takes to make it professionally.
Needless to say, I will not be attending MIR. Because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I do not have what it takes to make it in the music industry, nor will I be leading worship at any time in my whole life, unless of course it becomes all the musical rage for a 30-something woman to sing classic Amy Grant songs in an off-key monotone.
FINGERS CROSSED!
So. All that being said.
Here’s how you can have a chance to win a real-live iPod Nano, which, by the way, can play music and movies and TV shows and everything.
OH, it is very fancy.
1. Click here.
2. Look for this image (I can’t provide direct links because it’s a Flash-enabled site, so instead I’m relying on visual aids, and I do hope it all works beautifully):
3. Click on the image, and you’ll see this box pop up:
Fill out the form – and you don’t have to give your phone number. Just fill out your name, email, and address – so that if you win they know where to ship your fabulous prize.
4. Come back here – and this part is OH-SO-IMPORTANT – leave me a comment letting me know that you filled out the form. I’ll draw for a winner from my comments, but I’ll have to verify that you actually filled out the form before I announce the winner (so make sure you use the same email address on the form and in my comments).
5. That’s it! The giveaway will stay open for one whole week – until June 9, 2008. As always, I’ll use random.org to draw for a winner.
And you will NOT be inundated with mail or with email if you fill out the form. I made a point to ask. You’ll receive an informational email about Music in the Rockies registration, and you can unsubscribe from that mailing list with the click of a button if you never want to receive another email from them again.
But I figured that filling out a form was a small price to pay for a new Nano. Call me crazy.
(CRAZY!)
(Beat you to it!)
Happy iPod’ing!
This giveaway is now closed.
I filled it out! Crossing my fingers :)
Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me! (I signed up on the list).

Done deal.
Ok, Coach! Life is lonely on the bench here, but I’ll keep trying. PUT ME IN.
Hugs! Your Central Texas Fan Club, aka Emmie.
PS Your email made my day. Precious girl.
I filled out the form!
Done. Beer me that iPod.
I signed up for the Ipod, too! Please pick me!!!! Thanks, Boomama — you’re the best.
Not for the giveaway (my entry is above) but if you’re coming to San Antonio in August, you need to let me know, because you will be majorly mobbed at the airport by your Central Texas Fan Club (I will travel for you–stalkers do that, you know). I will be there with flowers, but no chocolate, because you do not want to be waiting with chocolate at the airport in August in San Antonio. Trust me on this.
Whee! if you come!
Your Central Texas Fan Club Emmie.

Hi Boo! I filled out the form and have done some reading – my kids are so incredibly talented – we’ve got one copyright in the works already! But I’m not biased or anything. No, not me.

I’ve heard about you in Blogville and what a great time to check you out! I’ve entered too and hope to win, but I’m even happier I’ve found another blog to read!
I can already tell you are going to put a smile on my face everyday!
Hi, I’m Amy and it’s nice to “meet” you!
I entered again just in case. I didn’t see my comment from yesterday. technical difficulties, I guess!
pick me!!!
Done. And thank you! I don’t own an iPod. Isn’t that tragic?!
I filled one out!! At least I think I did. I filled it all out and hit submit, but it didn’t come up with a message confirming that the info was sent. Does it do that? Should I try again?
Filled out the form! And, I’m actually looking forward to receiving stuff from them!!!
Crazy girl!
I entered. Thanks.
dude, i’m nano ready.
Love your blog. Read regularly. The antics of your son help me realize mine isn’t a pod boy from another planet. I signed up for the iPod giveaway (though DH is soooo anti-Mac it could be called a religion). I mean, FREE, what is wrong with that!
Mission Complete!!
I filled out the form! Thanks! =)
Very cool! I filled out the form. Thanks!
I filled it out! *fingers crossed*
So I’m not sure what I just signed up for, I just know that I’m supposed to tell you that I did, and that significantly increases my chances of winning an iPod.
And I’m all about winning iPods.
I told them I was a singer, because, well, back in the day I sang in choir.
I hope they don’t come to my door with a television camera and a microphone and expect me to do some kind of crazy karaoke.
Although, if it meant I won an iPod… I just may do it.
I filled out the form, pick me!!!
EASY CHEESY – DONE! :>)
Hello,
I filled out the form and I hope it went through. It didn’t confirm.
Thanks for this opportunity!
Tanys
P.S. Love your blog!
Done! Thanks!
