Want to meet and hang out with Ihsahn? Contest details..

Hang out with Ihsahn contest if you buy a ticket today through June 10.

Man, when you were a kid, did somebody bring you a present and right before you unwrap it, they say: "It's a cool toy dinosaur!!" to spoil the surprise? :Smug:

Btw, really cool idea. I'm sure quite a few folks from outside the "prog" and "power" universe would love to meet, let alone hang out with Ihsahn!

Someone couldn't see it at work. No good deed goes unpunished.
 
CONTEST: WIN A PRIVATE HANG WITH IHSAHN AT PROGPOWER USA XII!!!

MetalSucks readers know we’re HUGE fans of Ihsahn, and were completely blown away by his solo release last year, After – which is why we’re beyond stoked that he’ll be making his live U.S. debut at ProgPower USA on Friday, September 16.

To celebrate, we’re giving one lucky MetalSucks reader and a guest the chance not just to meet Ihsahn at the festival — but to actually hang out with the legendary musician! Here’s how this is gonna work:
» Between now and Friday, June 10, purchase a ticket to ProgPowerUSA. Tickets are available here. In addition to Ihsahn, there’s lots of other cool artists playing the fest, including Sanctuary, Therion, and Dream Evil — so you know this is gonna be a good time!
» E-mail proof of your ticket purchase to progpowerusa AT gmail DOT com with the phrase “IHSAHN/METALSUCKS CONTEST” in the subject line.
» A random drawing will be held to determine the winner, who will be announced on Monday, June 13.
» That winner and a guest will get a private meet and greet with Ihsahn the day of the show. This will not be a simple stand in line/photo/autograph/ass out the door kind of situation — the winner will be able to hang out with Ihsahn for awhile, have a beer or two, get some cool swag, etc.
» The winner will also be given a special pass to watch Ihsahn’s entire set from in front of the stage barrier.

And that’s it! This has to be one of the coolest contests we’ve ever run. So go buy your tickets and enter now!

Good luck…

Wow....that's pretty cool.
To explain...I didn't want to just blurt it out here on this thread in case there was some kind of agreement to go view it on the actual MetalSucks website. I figured the appropriate thing to do would be to wait for an official mention of the details. But, I did want to say that it's a cool idea without spilling the beans...;)
 
I've had my ticket for a while. One can only hope Ihsahn will also be "hanging" out in other areas during the fest and the chance to have a beer with him will still be available. Cool of him to agree to this contest, though for sure.
 
So what...he was just too much of a rockstar for the meet and greet like every other band?

WTF?!

No, he is still going to do the autograph line. However, he is not the kind of individual that is going to hang out in the lobby bar with everyone. The contest gets you some quality one on one time with a legend.
