Okay, I did it. I threw my hat in the ring to win a chance to play at the Crossroads Festival in Chicago this summer.

In order to get there, I need votes – a lot of them. That’s where you come in.

Visit http://playcrossroads.com and register to vote by entering your email address and then confirming it (sorry about this step, but they have to know you’re a human – or close enough.) Here’s how that’s done…

When you first get to that page, the register link is the tab on the right:

Once you click that, you’ll see the register page. You’ll need a fan account which is the top radio button here:

Fill out the rest of the form and submit it. Then check your email for a link you have to click to verify your identity.

Then visit http://playcrossroads.com/griff3 and vote for the band there. Here’s the vote button:

While you’re there, feel free to listen to some tunes I posted. And you can make fun comments too.

That’s it. Thanks and I appreciate the help.

I’ll let you know if she wins!

]]> http://www.yardsaletheband.com/?feed=rss2&p=52 Java Joes on Friday, April 3rd! We need your help! http://www.yardsaletheband.com/?p=51 http://www.yardsaletheband.com/?p=51#comments Mon, 23 Mar 2009 05:47:43 +0000 admin http://www.yardsaletheband.com/?p=51  Hi Everyone!

On Friday, April 3rd at Java Joes in Yorba Linda, Yard Sale is going to be pulling out all the stops for a very special reason.  The band is under consideration for a performance on the Tomorrowland Terrace Stage at the Disneyland Resort, and the Director of Talent Booking for Disneyland’s Entertainment Division is scheduled to stop by and have a look and listen.  Nothing would make us feel more confident and proud than to have Java Joes packed with all of our wonderful friends and family.  We chose this venue for the audition because of the warm welcome we have received from day one at Java Joes.  It is our favorite place to play, and that’s because of YOU!  :-)

Yard Sale will be sporting a new look and filling the room with exciting new songs showcasing the versatility of the ensemble.  It promises to be a great night!

If you would like a flier for this event with more information, just shoot me an email and I’ll respond to you immediately.  My address is:  Laura@yardsaletheband.com
Yard Sale thanks you for taking the time to come out and support us on this very special night.  Hope to see you there!

Most Sincerely,

Laura and the band
