With the Warped Tour kicking off this week, it seemed appropriate to debut another big contest for the tour; this one is a biggie; a trip for two to Warped Tour 2006 August 11th at Tower City Amphitheater in Cleveland, OH - plus accommodations and transportation to and from the show; a pair of tickets for the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame tour, a signed guitar, a video iPod, an annual subscription to Audio Lunchbox and a subscription to Alternative Press magazine.
That's a lot of stuff, and the Cleveland show will feature a metric ton of bands including the Bouncing Souls, Eighteen Visions, Helmet, NOFX, Horse The Band, From First to Last, Anti-Flag and many more.
