BUT WAIT! There’s more…

Re-post / share Block Party 2012 online and be 1 of 10 people to win FREE TICKETS TO BLOCK PARTY!

include with your posts #blockparty2012 &/or www.communityrecordsblockparty.com  to enter!

We will be checking networking sites & on our google alerts to see who has been putting the word out. If we notice you’re doing a killer job of helping us to spread the word, chances are you can win a free ticket, or if you order one early, you can bring a friend for free!

We will also be posting various art installations and posters around new orleans, take a picture & share online with #blockparty2012 to be entered to win free tickets.

This is the first time we’ve done this, so if it goes over really well, we may release another 5 or 10 tickets for free. Just keep helping us spread the word and we will do what we can to return the favor.

Also we will be releasing a free download sampler of the bands on block party some time in March. We will do our best to send you the link to this to you first when we see your posts around.

THANKS YOU ALL! also look at the street team link for other ideas to help spreading the word.
