Do you happen to have a Snoopy electric toothbrush?  Anyone?  You see, my wife in a competition to retrieve 60 items - a scavenger hunt - to win not just a big prize but perhaps the biggest of all big prizes… to have a special dinner with a celebrity - Galen Weston of Loblaws foods (Superstore, and what have you).  I know.  Outstanding.  So take a look at the list below and identify any items you can contribute (loan) to the cause.  Everything will be returned in the exact same, if not better, condition that it was donated.Quebec Nordiques Hockey Memorabilia;  Expo ‘67 postcard;  ’88 Calgary Olympics key chain;  cow bell;  Backstreet Boys doll;  matches from a wedding dated before 1999;  a tie dyed shirt;  a Farrah Fawcett poster;  a ticket stub dated before 1985 from a rock concert;  a 1973 ‘Mountie’ quarter; wooden yo-yo;  a souvenir from a Royal Wedding;  Johnny Cash 8 Track Tape;  a metal slinky;  a K-Tel record;  ”The Fonz” memorabilia;  any Mr. Dressup memorabilia;  a conch shell;  wooden snow shoes.If you can believe it, we have none of these things in our household.  However, I did at one time own a Johnny Cash 8 track tape but ditched it for cassette technology in 1978.If you are able to help either contact me via vince.rock106@gmail.com or call the show between 5:30 - 9am Mon-Fri.Troy “the Vince” Vincent

A new approach this week.  I’d like you to take this weeks question and the $25 iTunes card goes to the submission that makes me laugh the most.The question: What does being Young & Free mean to you?Comedic submissions are welcomed at vince.rock106@gmail.comI also encourage serious submissions, but send those to the gang at www.youngfreealberta.com because the serious approach could land you that coveted Spokester gig where you will be the voice of the 17-25 crowd.  For more details on all the PERKS that comes with the job, check out other recent posts bragging about just that.  We wish you luck.  And if you get the gig, tell’em who sent ya.

I’m about to help you win a) $25 itunes card & b) a new job.  For those of all ages, the first prize applies to you.  For those between the ages of 17-25, you’ll be eager to earn the 2nd option.

The job is being the new Spokester for Young & Free Alberta, an outfit set up by Servus Credit Union.  Get a salary, an iPhone, a company car; all you need to do is post videos and write blogs.

How do you win either prize “a” or “b?”

Answer the following question:  What topics would you address as the 2010 Young & Free Alberta Spokester?

Now pay attention because here is where I’m going to help you win by listing you topics you should NOT include in your submission.

1) Lowering the legal drinking age to 17

2) Which Twilight character is hotter - the vampire guy or the werewolf dude?

3) Vandalism & how to get away with it.

If you discuss either or all of those 3 topics, you will not get the job.  You still might win the itunes card, though.

To win the $25 itunes card, email me your answer to the question at vince.rock106@gmail.com.

To win the coveted position of Spokester, sumbit your answer to www.youngfreealberta.com.

You’re running out of time, so stop reading and starting writing.  I look forward to your submission.

You are going to win $25 for iTunes just by answering this question: What topics would you address as the 2010 Young & Free Alberta Spokester?

You do NOT need to be between the ages of 17-25 to answer this question to win this prize.  Just submit it to vince.rock106@gmail.com.

However, if you are between 17-25, upon answering the question above, take that response and go to www.youngfreealberta.com and submit your answer there; you my find yourself with the cool new Spokester job for Young and Free Alberta with Servus Credit Union.  You’ll spend your “work” time posting videos (easy) and blogging (easier).  Wanna salary and company car?  That comes with the gig too.

Again, the question: What topics would you address as the 2010 Young & Free Alberta Spokester?

Answer and win.  Even if you don’t get the gig, at least you’ll get $25 for iTunes by submitting the answer to vince.rock106@gmail.com

$25 for iTunes.  Details in a minute.  First, let’s set the Delorian to the early 90s.

When I was 17, the economy wasn’t strong.  Even minimum waged job-postings had a giant stack of applicants.  And that’s how I ended up working at a hair salon.  Turned out to be a good gig, just hanging out with cute hairdressers all day, but I only earned $5 an hour.  I did, however, receive free haircuts so that saved me tens of dollars over the course of that summer. 

What I didn’t receive was a computer; not even an iPhone.  And that’s exactly what you can get by becoming the new Spokester for Servus Credit Union.  Go to:  www.youngfreealberta.com

AND… you can win $25 for itunes right now just by submitting a few sentences on our question this week.  “What does it mean to be a part of generation Y?”

Personally, I have no idea.  I’m a member of generation X-Wing.  That’s why I won’t win, but you can by emailing your comments to vince.rock106@gmail.com.

Submissions will be bragged about on air; your 15 seconds of fame… plus $25 for iTunes.

Go.  Write.  Email.  Win.

If I was 17-25, I’m pretty sure I would have applied for the Young & Free Alberta Spokester job.  It combines the beauty of traveling around the province, and at the same time being able to work from home.

This week we’re talking about Social Media and Aaron says “Social Media is the youth of today building a voice.”  Well said.

Received some good feedback from Aaron V. on the Young and Free Alberta story… the chance for young Albertans to find a great job.  We asked about social media… and Aaron said “Social media is a means of comunication by which we express ideas, build society and educate lives.” 

Good job Aaron.  Keep those inputs coming to rosie.rock106@gmail.com.  Tell me, what Social Media means to you.

The idea of being a Spokester for Young and Free Alberta… is a pretty good one.  You get to travel around the province… and talk about you, and whats its like to be young… and free, in Alberta.  The one concern for me is the public speaking.  Everyone always says to me, “but thats what you do for a living?”   No I don’t, I don’t talk to an audience. I talk to one person sitting across from me.   But there are a number of people who ARE comfortable with public speaking, and THIS may be the job for you.

What does it mean to you to be part of Generation Y?   Email me your responses at rosie.rock106@gmail.com 

Servus Credit Union wants you!   Its the Young & Free Alberta Spokester contest, where they’re looking for someone between the ages of 17 & 25… to be there Spokester (politically correct for spokesman or spokeswoman).  There’s lots of perks that go along with the job… including a salary, and iPhone, and a computer.  Its pretty sweet to think you could be in your teens, and getting a salary for just representing Young Albertans. 

Now what?  Go to ROCK 106.ca, and apply.  If you don’t fit the criteria, you can still win iTunes gift cards by emailing me and tell me what “social media means to you?”  (rosie.rock106@gmail.com) 

Right now, we need candidates.  Lets go people. 

It was announced that myself and Rosie are seeking office. We would like to be your next Prime Ministers. Yes, simultaneously. That way we only have to work half the time. And we want to take turns living at 24 Sussex Drive. It would like having a time-share on the property.

To be honest, we haven’t really nailed down a platform for the campaign. We figure it’s more important to find the right theme song for the campaign first then the rest will just fall into place. So if you have any suggestions for not just a good campaign song but a GREAT one, then click the headline above or phone us up during the show (5:30-9am). We will announce the winner selection on the next show.

If you’re really creative and you want to make a logo for our party then we would forever be greatful and would easily give you all the perks possible should we get into office. We are the Independant Party of Vincent & Rosie.

Thank you for your support. As a token of appreciation, here is the link to watching the brother Noel of Oasis getting popped off stage.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to see comedian DJ Hazard at the Blarney Stone. Show time is 9pm.
