Oh Sara

 

If you know me, then you know that I'm a HUGE Sara Bareilles fan. Yipee!!! I am proud to announce that her new album "King of Anything" will be out in stores soon! Until then, take a listen to the new single off the album.

Unfortunately my design didn't win, but many congratulations to the 2 girls that did win. Yay. I can be sore loser sometimes.

I'm crossing my fingers

Remember when I posted about the poster contest that Sara Bareilles was having? Well... I wanted to share what I wound up designing. Today was the deadline, so wish me luck!

Stuck on Sara

I'd like to say that I have good sense when it comes to music. My dear friend may seem to differ, and I have to give him credit for introducing me to some pretty awesome artists. However, I am stuck on Sara. You know, Sara Bareilles, that girl who sings that "Love Song" song. Or as I like to call it, my happy song. I got the opportunity to see this fabulous gal in concert at the Wiltern last October and despite the 2 bimbos who kept singing EVERY song to each other and hitting me with their huge purse because of their dancing (who brings a purse the size of a bus to a concert anyways?), I still swoon over Sara's music and I was not disappointed.

Ok, here comes the good part. She's having a contest to design a poster for the Gravity tour. How excited are you now? I'm super duper excited. I've never designed a concert poster before, but with some inspiration I think I can come up with something. Here are the details from Sara herself (actually from the email I got from the mailing list!)...

We are embarking on a month of incredibly intimate shows where we are taking a new approach to our performance. Not so much costumes and circus dogs, (although that would be AWESOME) but new instrumentation and arrangements, some new songs and covers, and hopefully just a lovely bookend to wrap up our touring for this record.

The chosen submission will be picked by yours truly. (me, sara, duh.) We will do a limited edition printing of YOUR design and offer the posters for sale on the Gravity Tour ONLY!

ALL NET PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT A CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE.

The winner will also receive a pretty cool package of stuff:
not so much costumes and circus dogs but...

4 tickets to the show of your choice

Meet and greet with moi (that's where we MEET and GREET each other)

Signed copy of Little Voice on Vinyl

DVD of Between the Lines

Sara B t-shirts and other fun stuff.

Submissions must be received no later than
MIDNIGHT FRIDAY, JANUARY 23.

SEND THEM TO: gravitypostercontest@gmail.com

Ok, so how awesome is that! If you're a big fan like me, I'd like to see what you come up with. And we'll inspire each other! Good luck and go Gravity!
