As we all know, I’m often wont to shill for friends and other entities on this blog; so I thought I’d compile a small digest of things you should do, check out, or enjoy. In no particular order, here they are:
- The Grammys! My friend Jen does PR for the recording academy, and The Grammys is her biggest event all year long. Not only is she a total sweetheart, but she may be hooking me up with a free ticket to the show! Even if that doesn’t happen though, please all tune in this Sunday on CBS to watch the awards and help her do her job of boosting awareness and ratings. Sunday, CBS, 8 PM ET
- Model voting! Remember my friend Chris? Well, among other things, he’s a model, and when I last posted about him, he was vying to be the winner in an internet competition. Sadly, he lost, but now he’s in another competition — one that actually has a real prize. He’s been featured in the kind of NSFW DNA Magazine (along with — drumroll please — Scott from Real World Brooklyn), and now he needs your help to be January’s man of the month. If he wins, he actually gets a photo shoot, which as we all know from ANTM, is a very big deal. So if you’re so inclined, help a poor male model live the dream by voting here (again, link kind of NSFW, unless your job is cool with guys in speedos).
- Treadmill Trackstar: This band contacted me about two months ago and have been so persistent, I have to give them kudos. Plus, they gave me a free CD. Anyway, if you’re looking to explore new music, check out Treadmill Trackstar. I particularly recommend “I Belong To Me,” which is coincidentally also the name of the CD. Give them a listen at treadmilltrackstar.com.
