Hello:
I do a fledgling '80s metal blog called metal-mixtape at
I'm running a contest where I've posted a mystery picture of an '8os rocker and the first person to write in identifying that person gets an autographed copy of Judas Priest's latest DVD.
The contest runs through the end of July, so I was wondering if you would mention it in your next blog post. Please let me know if you can accomodate my request.
I'm at
Thanks,
Theo
P.S. I've added Heavy Metal Addiction to my links list.
