Contest
Pack your bags…

The entries are in. The folks who REALLY wanted this BlackBerry Tour (and earned ten entries each for it) were:
Miss from Just One Miss
Stinky from I can’t complain
Michael on his lawyer blog
Beth from My Life in the Low Country
The rest of you tweeted, plurked, and commented your little hearts out.
So, without any further ado, I have assembled a list of all the entries, alphabetized them by the commenter/twitter/poster name (to be fair) and drew numbers using random.org.
The winners of a signed copy of Kathy Buckworth’s latest book, The Blackberry Diaries goes to:

Stinky
Beth
Mamabub
Lori (who’s a mom without a blog)
and the big winner of the BlackBerry Tour with a month of free service from Verizon Wireless goes to…

Thanks to everyone who entered. Special thanks to the folks at Weber Shandwick, Blackberry, and Verizon for making my inaugural contest here at GoodBadUgly Reviews so much fun!
You can come and see Kathy Buckworth (Sat., Aug. 29) at the Galleria in Henderson. I’ll be there, too. So be sure to say “hi!” I’ll be the redheaded dork with the Diet Coke.
I’m going on Tour

Blackberry Tour that is.
Kathy Buckworth, author of The Blackberry Diaries: Adventures in Modern Motherhood is coming to Vegas this weekend. Her nice PR folks have partnered with Blackberry and Verizon to back her book tour.

And I get to share the love with you.
I get to give away four copies of Kathy’s book AND a brand-new Blackberry Tour (a $500 retail value) with 30 days of service from Verizon Wireless.

How do you win?
It’s pretty simple. There are three ways to enter:
1. Comment on a post here at GoodBadUgly Reviews before noon (pacific time) on Friday, Aug, 28. Each comment gets you one entry.
2. Tweet the following:
@GBUReviews is going on tour, a Blackberry Tour, that is, with @BBDiaries. I want to win. http://tinyurl.com/n66vgy #GBUBBTour.
Each tweet sent before noon (pacific time) on Friday, Aug, 28 gets you one entry. Don’t be too annoying, though. Tweet once or twice. Otherwise folks will unfollow you and hate me.
3. Write a post on your blog about your experiences with your PDA (it doesn’t need to be a Blackberry, I’m an iPhone geek myself). Tell the world about how you dropped it in the toilet, got busted checking your email at a holiday meal with family, or whatever you want. Just be sure to mention that you’re entering into the contest and link back to this post here at GoodBadUgly Reviews. If you don’t have a blog of your own, send me your post and I’ll put it here or on my main blog, Fear and Parenting in Las Vegas. Send an email to fandpinlv (at) gmail (dot) com. I’ll do a list post so others can see your story. Each post earns you 10 entries in the drawing.
Winners will be contacted on Friday. I’m happy to get Kathy to sign your copy of the book if you win. Speaking of the book, I’ve been reading it this weekend and a full review of the book and the Tour will be coming soon. In the meantime, here’s a quick synopsis on the book from her site:
The BlackBerry Diaries: Adventures in Modern Motherhood” is a no-holds-barred trip through the wacky world of toddlers and technology. Kathy takes the reader through a year-long blog account of life with her new BlackBerry and how, as a Mississauga, Ont.-based mother of four, her two worlds — technology and children — collide.
If you’re in Vegas this weekend, be sure to check out Kathy at her appearance at the Galleria Mall from 1-3 p.m. on Fri., Aug. 28 and Sat. Aug. 29. I’ll be there on Sat. to say “hi” and read my own BB Diary entry.
So, be sure to enter. Share the love.
Thanks for dropping by!
