17 Comments Win 2 Tickets To Synergy Live Music Festival 2010

Article written by the awesome Sean Lloyd on the 09 Nov 2010

UPDATE: This competition is now closed, congratulations to Michala Christensen on winning the tickets.

Alright, we’re making this fairly simple! It’s that time of the year when girlfriends/boyfriends start wanting things. It’s also that time of the year when you’re flat broke after a year of debauchery. To make it easier for you to impress your girlfriend/boyfriend, we’re giving two tickets away so that you can go see some awesome music! Two tickets to the phenomenal Synergy Live Music Festival. With the headline act being Feeder, then also:

Plush
Prime Circle
Aking
Van Coke Kartel
Dirty Skirts
The Rudimentals
P.H Fat
Afropunk (UK)
Bruce Willis
El Gordo

To…name…a…few!

So what you need to do is tell me who is in this picture, who took the photo, and then you’ll obviously have a better chance of winning if you write a short motivation piece on why I should choose you as the winner. The crazier, the better!

Johnny Cash at San Quentin. Photo by Jim Marshall.

I want the tickets so I can have fun times. And disco disco. How much more of a motivation can you want?

The most-rock-and-roll-photo-ever-taken is of The Man in Black himself: Johnny Cash

The photograph was snapped at the San Quentin “place for people who done bad” prison, by none other than Jim Marshall (the lucky git).

I believe John was saying something along the lines of: “Jim, hey Jim! Jim, check it out man! Smell my finger dude! *Phwooooar*!”

I mean, the face of Johnny says it all…. especially the mouth part of that face.

Also, can I please have those Synergy tickets? You can smell my finger if you like…*

* smelling my finger not recommended.

The ou in the photo is Johnny Cash.

I think you should give me the tickets because I just can’t face getting a job. Since I wrote my last exam I’ve been stuck in bed. In five days I’ve watched a season of 24, lie to me, smallville, caught up with dexter and chuck, and 7 movies. The last bit of my money I spent on surround sound speakers for my bed. If anyone deserves it it’s me.

its Johnny Cash in the photo and photgrapher was his annoying tour cameraman name Jim Marshall and the photo was taken in san Quentin prison.
I should win the tickets because if I do I will stay in SA to go to synergy and not leave to go back to work in Florida

Johnny Cash by Jim Marshall.

I am going to use the other ticket to take up the hottest chick I know and who is willing to pay for it with sexual favours. I’m then going to bring up bottles of brandy & tequila and several less than legal substances, so I can take shots off half-naked girls while high out of my mind.

And when I’m not doing sex or drugs, I’ll be doing rock ‘n roll, right at the front of the stage, going mad. Hell, I might even end up on the stage.

That’s Johnny Cash, and it was taken by Jim Marshall. Sad now they’re both gone…

Also, you should choose me because I’m totally broke and don’t have anything to give my best friend for Christmas:-( I’m going away to visit family over the holidays, so it would be awesome to share this with her beforehand!!

The picture is Johnny Cash and it was taken back in 1969 during his San Quentin prison performance by photographer Jim Marshall.

And my reason for wanting these tickets SO BADLY is that I’m pour at the moment and can only afford to keep my tick habit going!

This is a picture of Johnny Cash and the photographer is Jim Marshall :)

I would really love to win these tickets a) because unfortunately i have never been able to attend Synergy due to exams or monetary restrictions and finally i am rid of exams! and b) my best friend is leaving back for Denmark at the start of next year and it would be so awesome if i could party with her only last time!

I hope my Synergy dreams will come true :D

The famous person in the picture is the AWESOME Johnny Cash. HE IS SO AWESOME! The photographer of the picture is Jim Marshall!

I would absolutely LOOOVE to go to Synergy Live, because i have never actually been to the event! ever! can you believe it? I’m from Denmark, Scandinavia and have only lived here in South Africa for 4 years. Next year, i am living and going back to denmark, so this will be my last chance to go party the whole f****** night! All my friends are going, so it would be so great, if i can party with them one more time before i leave! it would be the most unforgettable farewell!

it would be be “A Certain Kind of Hurtin” if i don’t get to go with my “Best Friend” and then i would “Cry! Cry! Cry!”

okay, lets get real. i’m awesome. i should go to an awesome festival. yes.

Howzit old Sean ‘filth’ Lloyd.
Shit hey isn’t that old b.bizzle in his sex, drugs and rock and roll days?

on a serious note. easy peasy.
that right there is none other than the great Johnny Cash photographed by Jim Marshall at San Quentin Prison, 1969.

I should probably, no-doubtably win, (other than that i am the first to answer the question), because….

I work at a college as a janitor…
…even though I’m smarter
than most of the people there.
Sometimes i see a competition online for free shit…
…like half a competition,
and I’ll just figure it out.

Thanks for the tickets
G-Roff eout

Pic of Johnny Cash and it is taken by Jim Marshall.

Seeing as though it is two tickets I suppose two motivations are in order. My friend Ryan’s motivation is – free tickets means we can spend more money on drugs.

Now of course I dont condone that sort of thing (I hate spending money) but clearly there arent too many free drugs competitions going around so this is the next best thing.

The next best thing after that is my motivation. It is a lot more deep, meaningful, and heartfelt.

Winning these tickets will go a long way to turn around what has been a dreadful 2010.

First I got a long term steady girlfriend. Honestly what have a done? No more need for the only two books I own – The Game by Neil Strauss and The Rules of the Game by Neil Strauss.

Second I travelled around SA following England in the World Cup. Watching them play live ranks with having the doctor poke around down there for some unexplained itch.

Third I am going to be spending a week in PE either side of Xmas to be with the family. I am actually leaving Cape Town to go to Port Elizabeth. If you have never been then refer to “watching England live” above.

And fourth I went to a Halloween party in all black, as the great Johnny Cash – but on more than one occasion I was asked if I was dressed as Kenny Powers. If you dont know who that is then please refer to:

http://www.collider.com/2010/08/19/poster-eastbound-down-season-dos-deep-inside-mexico-clips/

I didnt make that up at all. It is 100% true no falsehoods here.

Please can I have the tickets to Synergy. It will really turn things around for this downtrodden shell of a man.

Why wouldn’t someone want to go to Synergy???, especially when ALL her friends are going and her broke ass can’t afford a ticket to go;(

Been a long year of working my ass off so a weekend away with all my friends going crazy with SA bands would be just what I need!!

(**,) thanks!

Hi, Ya its Johnny Cash caught in the moment by Jim Marshall. I have a bit of a dilemma, I want so very badly to come to synergy but one of my best friends are getting married so I have to budget big time for a bachelorette (strippers are expensive for somebody we dont get to touch) so Stripper or Syngery is a tough decision. So can I please have my cake and eat it too…

(what a ledgend photo)

I would like to win the tickets,because i am moving over seas and i wont be able to party with my friends for at least two years. All my wild girls are going and we plan on making this PARTY really count we want to do crazy dress up and run around like crazy people.

also my best mate has just finished her nature conservation and has really worked hard and has done so well like top of her class and would be rad for her to be rewarded.

hope i qualify cos i just wanna party one last time with the people who mean everything to me.
