Well, what do we have here?! We realize this is kind of last minute, but LoCO finds itself in possession of a pair of four-day passes to this weekend’s Redwood Coast Music Festival and they’re burning a hole in our pixel-y pocket! Perhaps you’d like ‘em, yeah? Maybe you were thinking, “Gee golly, I’d like to go to that thing, but $170 per pass seems a bit steep for me at the moment. I’ll just listen to 8-tracks in the garage again.” Well, here’s your chance to boogie down for free on LoCO. But you’ll have to earn it.
How, you ask? We’re gonna play LoCO KARAOKO. Follow along, music lover, for directions on how this is gonna go:
- First, record a new under-60-second video of yourself singing a song of your choosing. We are not limiting your genre or song selection, just try to think of a song that will win over your Humboldt neighbors. You can sing acapella or with musical backing. It doesn’t matter. Just be entertaining.
- At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1, we will launch the official LoCO KARAOKO post on our Facebook page, which we’ll link HERE to make it easy to find.
- Upload your video to the comment section of that Facebook post. One entry per singer.
- Then, hopefully, Humboldt’s Facebook users will organically find and enjoy your musical stylings enough to grace you with a “like” or a “heart” or whatever (but we know that you’ll probably all be rallying your troops, which is fine).
- This all culminates, at noon on Thursday, Oct. 3, when we will close voting. Whichever singer garners the most reactions will be declared the winner. (We will weigh “like”s, “heart”s, “wow”s, etc. equally, in this instance.)
Does that make sense? We’ve done contests like this on our Facebook page in the past with some success, so we have no reason to believe this won’t work again (though, sometimes things go hilariously sideways). A couple more notes for voters, though:
- LoCO is watching. To those who might like to game the system by voting through their business/artist/political campaign pages, we see you.
- Now, can you vote for multiple entries? Sure. If you’d like to dilute your vote that way, LoCO is not going to stop you. You are full of love and appreciation, and that’s fine.
OK. Let’s try this out! Again, you’re competing to win two $170 passes to the RCMF. So that’s — hold on… uh… carry the one — a $340 value, people! Hot damn. Thank you in advance for your dulcet tones. And good luck!
