We’re extending the deadline because it was brought to our attention that the Mechtorians were only recently released in Asia and Europe.  So we decide to allow an extra couple of weeks  in order to give collectors overseas a fair shot at the custom Pioneer Stephan Le Podd by Doktor A.

It’s the home stretch… now or never.

Contest Time

Well, it is contest time. This time I will be giving away  one of my new Rear Window prints. Here's whatcha gotta do. The best guest post for Vinyl Pulse wins. Keep it interesting, timely  and relevant to the vinyl scene. Imagine you’re a writer for VP.  Email your post (text, pics, links) to post_contest@vinylpulse.com. Weener gets the thing. (If you're far away you pay for your own shipping!) If we like more than one we'll use 'em on on the site, but only the weener gets the trophy. GO!  The deadline is Midnight tonight PDT.  Winner will be announced tomorrow.

Also if you’re around, don’t forget that we’re celebrating my birthday with a free screening of Rear Window at the Rialto in South Pasadena at 9 PM tonight.

The details on this sweet piece are top-notch from the cowboy hat to the pistol to the wood-grain on the steam-pack.  This is hands-down one of the best prizes we’ve ever offered for a Vinyl Pulse competition--  a custom from Doktor A who is regarded by many in-the-know as the top vinyl customizer. 

Now that you know what you’re trying to win, how do you win it?  To enter, shoot a creative photo (scary, funny, or just plain awesome) starring one or more Mechtorians figures (s1 and/or the 9” Stephan Le Podd).  Impress us with your creativity.  Then submit the photo to our Mechtorians Photo Competiton gallery by the deadline which is Monday, April 20th 2009 @ 8 PM PDT.  At the conclusion of the competition, the photo judged to be ‘most awesome’ will be declared the winning entry and its creator will receive the Stephan PioneersPodd custom.

Fully Visual x Vinyl Pulse Photo Contest Extended Til 12.2.08

So it pains us (not quite, but sort of!) that due to our overlooking key details in setting up the photo gallery for the Fully Visual x Vinyl Pulse Photo contest, no one was able to upload submissions…  a small problem ;-)  So you know what that means…  deadline extension til Tuesday December 2nd, 2008 @ 8 PM PST.  This will be the final extension – lest we be known as the home of the never-ending photo contests.  So go get shooting – the winner takes home a Luke Chueh Shit Head metal figure from Vinyl Pulse. Submit your masterpiece here. 

To clarify the theme is Fully Visual and/or Vinyl Pulse – basically come up with a picture that represents either literally or more subtly either or both brands.  Put another way, submit a picture that would make sense with a caption of “Fully Visual” or “Vinyl Pulse” (no, don’t actually caption your pic). 

And…  to up the ante we’ll let it slip that we  have more than one figure to give away.  That’s all we’re saying about that.

Photo Contest Rules
1. To enter write take a creative photo that represents Fully Visual and/or Vinyl Pulse. Upload it to the special photo contest gallery.
2. Deadline to enter is December 2nd @ 8 PM PST.

Luke Chueh’s Shit Head + Photo Contest

      

Today is the day…  In about an hour (11 AM PDT), Fully Visual will release Luke Chueh’s limited-edition metal Shit Head figure.  We’ve seen these in person, and they rule!  As with previous FV releases, it’s limited to 100 pieces with 1 golden chase.

But… what if you can’t get one in the mad rush ?  We’re pretty sure these will fly off the virtual shelves.  And with these tough economic times, maybe you’d love one but can’t afford it.  Whatever the case, we’re stoked to announce that Fully Visual is generously sponsoring a photo contest with the winner receiving a Shit Head metal figure.

Entering is pretty straight forward.  Shoot an original photograph that represents Fully Visual and/or Vinyl Pulse.  Make it creative, funny, wild, scary – it just has to scream Fully Visual and/or VP.  Then just upload it to the newly created photo contest gallery in the Vinyl Pulse community (you’ll need to register if you haven’t already). The deadline to enter is Tuesday, November 4th @ 8 PM PST.

The winner is.... Hellopike!
       enjoy the dumplings,
       they will be the last you eat,
       I poisoned the sauce.
Andrew: I like this one, it is evil, right to the point AND contains
dumplings, doom and perhaps the posion is a disease. Bravo.

Second place goes to Boultini
       Kidnapped by Dumpling,
       A gravy grave awaits me.
       Curse my beefy tomb.
Andrew: Bumped up on bonus points for the term "beefy tomb"

And insectoman has the dubious honor of third place with his entry:
       Dumpling on the floor
       Five second rule is safety
       You thought very wrong

Andrew: I think i can find it in my heart to send you a little prize as
well! It's time that everyone knew that five second rule is bull.

Runner up status is bestowed upon Delial with a two-parter
       "Malignant dumpling,"
       said obese verdant demon,
       "to kill enemies."
       I wish I had not
       taken the offered morsel
       from putrescent hands.

Honorable Mention goes to quahogclam's "My ode to Joe's Shanghai's Soup
Dumplings..."
      
Waiting in shadows
       Prey comes in pork and crab soup
       Shanghai Joe I stalk
       The soup makes me wet
       Literally, balls splash down
       Spoon cannot contain

We expect you will enjoy,
you can win some stuff!

All you have to do
is write a lovely haiku
and share it with us.

Your subject can be
"doom" or "disease" or "dumplings";
one or all of these.

keep it in haiku!
five syllables and then do
seven and five more.

post it right on here
in the comments area
and we will read it!

( please limit yourself,
two submissions at the most,
and in the same post. )

we will wait a week,
and then we will judge you all.
"and the winner is..."

First prize will go home,
Gangrene Giver toy in hand
