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.

Hey, so I’m allowed to comment more than once, since it’s been on separate days, right? Okay good. I need this phone! Was going to buy it til I heard the price. I’m already a Verizon customer, so it’d be totally seamless and easy.
