LAist is Giving You Gwen and The Flaming Lips
Just a little reminder, in case you don't scour our archives or come here every hour (for which we forgive you). We're having two contests right now.
First, we'd like to give you Goddess Gwen in the flesh, but we are keeping her for ourselves. Instead, we are giving away an entire bag full of Gwen goods - everything pictured above. For that contest, all you have to do is link to a YouTube Dance video. For detailed instructions click here.
The second giveaway is for two free tickets to see The Flaming Lips, Gnarls Barkley, and our girlfriend Cat Power. All of them are playing on New Year's Eve. For that contest you simply have to put an LAist badge or button on your blog, site, or myspace or somewhere and show us via a link where it be. For instructions for that one click here
More contests all year long!
