Summertime blues? Then it must be time for a new trivia contest. No bootlegs this time. Instead, our friend Fernando Aceves has generously agreed to donate to Rocks Off the first prize! If you know his work, this is something to get excited about. The second and third prizes will WOW you as well.
First prize: An original photo of Keith at the Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia on September 18, 2002 by Fernando Aceves, this picture was the first and only inclusion from 2002 in the 40x20 exhibition, and the original looks fucking great. Printed in museum quality paper using state-of-the-art technology, 32x41. This is an $850.00 USD value photo. Baron Wolman (first Rolling Stone photographer) told me in person, when we had dinner early this year, that this is one of the best shots of Keith, ever. BTW, Baron has donated digital images for Rocks Off, never printed and never posted before, that’s why he’s in the Rocks Off “We’re only in it for the music” collage.
Here’s the esteemed photographer and Baron Wolman with the photo in the 40x20 exhibition in Mexico City.
The photo will be shipped the next day insured via FedEx to anywhere in the world. So if the photo gets lost the winner will receive the $850.00 USD 
Second prize: An original photo of the Rolling Stones performing at the Odeon Cinema in Folkestone on the evening of 17th May 1964 by Richard Taylor. A real collector’s item. (32x40 cm)
The above is a reduced image, just see this zoom for the expected quality in the original.
Third prize: A letter size print of “Keith wearing Keith” (Too tough too die) by Kevin Mazur, backstage before the Music for the Planet-benefit for the Rainforest Alliance at the Beacon Theater, in NYC, on March 6, 2001.
Check this zoom to see the expected resolution in the high resolution print
Actual size of this image is more than 20 MB!!! Sorry for the watermark but this is also an exclusive collector’s item.
RULES
The contest is open to REGISTERED USERS OF ROCKS OF MESSAGE BOARD only. Your registration date must be by or before May 2003. Sorry, no exceptions.
The contest will have three parts:
LEVEL ONE: You will be asked to answer a posted set of easy trivia questions in order to move to the next round. The participants will privately email the Unholy Trinity their answers to these questions The participant will then post a reply in the Trivia thread that they have submitted answers to the Unholy Trinity. This will give us an index of the regulars participating.
LEVEL TWO: To make it to Level Three, participants will be asked to answer a more difficult set of questions, identify photos, "name the track" on audio clips and elaborate on signifigant events in the Rolling Stones history.
LEVEL THREE: The finalists will be asked to participate in a LIVE TRIVIA contest to be held in one of the Rocks Off Chatrooms. Here's the cool feature: everybody is welcome to come on in and watch the live contest, (it will be open to the public) but only the finalists will be able to respond.
Have fun and good luck. This could be your cure for the summertime blues.
Stonesly yours

Is this an open book test?
Is there any math?
|
|
|
| VoodooChileInWOnderl |
LOL Nanky, yes it will be an open book test, you can even have Nico's research on-line, but in the third level phase it will be live so probably someone is answering while "another someone" is reading |

| stonedinaustralia |
so voodoo it's true...you can't do it on your own...
BRING IT ON!! |

Well, shit. What a crappy time to be away from my computer for so long...
I'll try and participate, by the time we get to round 3 I'll be down in Virginia (without Cousin Lou, thank God) with full computer access.

Jaxx, Gazza & Voo....
What a gracious offer from the three of you. Seriously! And how extremely generous of Mr. Aceves (thank you, Fernando  ) to donate the photo? (Assuming all 3 of these gems were donated as prizes...)
This is going to be very interesting and quite hysterical.
Summertime Blues...I think not. It will be more like a Gut-Wrenching Sweat Fest, lol!
And as Jaxx stated: "the test is tough and it will prove to be a "head bangers" ball. how many of YOU are too tough to die??"
I say, "Spear me Ronnie! I'll take a blow for the team!"
Good Luck everyone!

Holy Game Show of all Game Shows Ronnie!
This contest will certainly save someone's summertime blues fest but it aint' gonna be mine...I am still merely a novice when it comes to Stones trivia. I also cannot get into the chat room to watch the final phase of this contest...oh well....sigh. Someone please keep me/us posted when it gets down to the wire. Thanks!
My hat's off to all the fearless contestants.
Good luck everyone!
What absolutely incredible prizes by the way...as you can guess I LOVE the first place prize winning Keef photo. Wow!
Hell, I would be ecstatic to win a Ronnie Cake t-shirt..size small! LOL By the way is there a way to get one made up? I would LOVE to wear it to a concert sometime.
This board is truly unbelievable!
The Unholy Trinity ROCKS!
I remain a humbled member.
With hugs and kisses to all,
Martha
