Guitar Center Battle of the Blues first two weeks over?
By KenBJammen on May 16, 2012 | In Welcome
Yes, the first two weeks of the Guitar Center battle of the blues are in the book. My personal experience this year is that interest locally is down significantly from even last year. Most of the stores have had multiple open slots open, one store reported only 6 contestants the first two weeks *(two the first week and four the second week). Easy to find on Youtube accounts of bad blues playing, but I have yet to find that elusive shredder who cannot cross over...
Road Contruction Awareness week.

I am very aware of road construction. I notice that the main highway that I take to get to Guitar Center is under construction. I will have to take back roads to get to the BOTB (FKA KOT
competition. I will have to plan an additional 30 minutes or so of road time...
Do this for fun first.
Are you ready for fine print?

Here's the fine print for the Battle of the Blues
1. HOW TO ENTER: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. To compete in Guitar Center's Battle of the Blues 2012 contest (the "Contest"), sign up at any participating Guitar Center following the procedure described in Paragraph 3(i). You may participate in only ONE Preliminary In Store Competition. You must be sixteen (16) years of age or older to compete.
Bartle of the Blues, really KOTB reworded

Guitar Center has announced the 2012 King of the Blues contest... But they are calling it Battle of the Blues.
Sign ups start today. April fools day. Same as last year. Who will be the biggest fool of the year.
Happy Leap day

Yes... Remember that this only happens every 4 years or so (sometimes 8 if you coun't missing leap days.)
A leap year (or intercalary or bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.[1] Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year.
Guess we are experiencing an uncommon year.
