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.
Filled out the form! Great giveaway – thanks so much.

Would be nice to win …. since EVERYone else in this family has their own iPod!!! Mom’s are always the last to get the neat stuff, huh? Pick me pick me!!!!! :)
Okay, so I filled out the form…I’m going to forward the email on to our music minister just in case he doesn’t know about this thing just yet…sounds like a great event! And a chance to win an iPod isn’t a bad deal either.
Filled it out! Love me some iPod music! (and I don’t have one either!)
I did it. Oh yes, I did it.
This is what my son wants for his birthday (6/13)…It would be very cool if I could win it for him! :D
Not sure if we Canadians can win, but I thought I’d give it a go.
Thanks!
Chris

i was just about to blog about my iPod. Oh how i’d love a new one.
I want to win an ipod!!!
Okay, I did it. Now, to RandomGenerator, pick me, pick me!!!
Thanks for a great contest!
Registered! I’ve got no pods, i or otherwise – So I’m PATIENTLY waiting for my number to be generated. (Must provide a good example for the 4 & under crowd.)
Thanks so much for the chance! The non-confirmation thing is a little strange, but I filled out the form just now. C’mon random number generator!
Okay – I’m all signed up. I would love to win. I would give it to my husband who is the most technologically challenged man in the universe. He would love an iPod – although I would have to load all the music for him – and he would never admit he wants an iPod. But why else would he be stealing mine all the time?
I would love to win!!
That form was trixy. I was just tabbing through like I always do those things and when I got past my last name, it went blank before I could read what it said. So I had to cancel and try again. I mastered the from! Because of all the trouble the form gave me I think the random number thing should pick me! ro not. I would be blessed to have a cool IPOD like that. Thank you for giving away such cool things to such wonderful people.
This is a super giveaway. The Hubby could use one of his own :)
Yeah! I filled out the form. Thanks!
I filled out the form. Please pick me!

I’m in. I can’t play an instrument and I can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but I love music and would LOVE an iPod! Great contest.
Well, I don’t know much, but I do think that anyone singing some Amy Grant songs sounds good to me. Can’t go wrong with a little Amy. :-)
I signed up and if I am to win it goes to my hubby who deserves a little treat such as this. Thanks for your generosity.
Love your blog. This is the first comment I have left. I’m so blog challenged, it took me a while just to figure out how to do this!
I hope I’m lucky. YAY!!!!
