2. Last year we have gave away 3-day passes to Coachella and had you guys tell me why I was Pretty Much Amazing, but as you might have imagined, it was full of ass kissing and it got old really fast. So this year I’m going to have you tell me why you are Pretty Much Amazing (and why you deserve these passes). Hopefully we can make this a yearly thing here at PMA.

I’m PMA because I’m an avid reader (and commenter) of the site. I live/breathe music and would love to attend APW. If chosen, I’d happily provide a review and obviously promote the crap out of PMA for sending me.

As lame as this may sound but if i get the passes this will be my first time on the east coast. Also I’m good at math.

I’m PMA cause I’m on your blogroll. I run onethirtybpm.com and would love to cover APW. I’ve yet to see My Bloody Valentine live yet, and can think of no better better band to lose my hearing to.

I’m PMA because my Mom tells me so…

ADMIN EDIT: This is how you do it!
I’m Pretty Much Amazing in that, not only do I subscribe (and actually read the posts), but I continuously scour the internet for new songs and music inspiration. I also have a small blog where I discuss some of my findings, as well as review shows I have been to (a number that remains dismally low).
http://twitter.com/VapidDin/status/1447914284
I’m PMA because, I’m not selfish, I care and I volunteer , I listen to all types of music and because If I win these passes I will drive across the border to see my favorite bands ( Coldplay, q-tip and i can go on..)
Oh and also because I posted the twitter link properly:
https://twitter.com/david6225/status/1448108460
I’m PMA because everyone says so. No really, they do.
im PMA because i got a A (almost A+) on my bio 1al exam. its like the hardest class in berkeley
I’m PMA cause I take my vitamins everyday. I want these tix cause i cant afford them plus the traveling or a hotel for 3 days, but if i didnt have to pay for the tickets then…
http://twitter.com/joshed24/status/1448432328
Because I have flights reserved from Scotland to Colombia via New York, and if I win I’ll move them all so that I can go.
Also, I’ve been spreading the PMA word over here in the UK, which makes you a a worldwide superstar.
Also, I live in Manchester, but I promise not to do this to Jim Jefferies
Even if I don’t win, you should watch it, because it’s very funny.
I am PMA because of the music I listen too but i need these tickets because my best friend lives out in NYC and I need to visit her or she’ll kill me. hope that doesn’t pressure you.
but seriously i need these tickets.
because I did not receive sexual relations from that woman!
I’m PMA because I’m a teacher. Ok not going to go too far down that route. how about that as a kid in the 80′s, I had awesome Luke Skywalker hair. (But only because nobody or any product could get it to do anything else.)
Sorry about that!

I’m pretty much amazing, cause i take the time an effort to type up “pretty much amazing”. Also it’s pretty much amazing that i’ve never left the state of california in my 22 years, and going to All Points West would be a pretty much amazing adventure.
I am pretty much amazing, because I am part of 130 BPM a music review and news site. I am also a classically and jazz trained musician who plays in a ska band. I have love for both the avant-garde and the music offered at APW. I live in NY state and I love it.

I’m PMA because I have thus far survived living in New York. However, as a result, I have spent all my money! And so I cannot afford APW tickets. How PMA would winning these be!
I am a sophomore at school in Wisconsin and after this term I am going to take a year off starting in the beginning of august and bike from Vancouver to Mexico along the west coast. Seeing as it is all points west and I find it very fitting. Also, if i were to go I would get directly on an Amtrak in NY and start my journey in the best way ever with a pretty much amazing festival.
I’m PMA because I do music journalism, i live in California, and I’ve never been to the east coast, and have always wanted to go, what better reason to go than winning APW passes, that would be PDA(Pretty Damn Amazing!) MGMT, Coldplay, Vampire Weekend, The Ting Tings, The Black Keys that would PMMMY(Pretty Much Make My Year!) But yea that’d be pretty sweet. I just want to be as PMA as you guys, this would give me something amazing to blog about. Lol, sorry for all the acronyms.
Come to think of it, nothing in my personal set of PMA qualities would qualify me to see the Arctic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Black Keys (there are obviously many more, but the set list is already posted and you don’t need to to retype it here, heh.). Instead, I should only hope for the increase in PMA-ness(?) that attending APW would bestow upon me. Also, I live in New York where we have cows instead of concerts. Music Festivals are rare for me.
Je suis Pretty Much Amazing because je bought my plane ticket from Paris to NYC to see APW already. But no money left for concert ticket. Sad. Je want to see good music and French music festivals suck. Help. Merci.

I’m PMA because I love music and love to make PMA playlists for family and friends. The tickets would be PMA!!!!
I love love LOVE all the artists playing, and don’t really live in a cultural center where I get to see a lot of shows, so it would be a great opportunity to see all my favorite artists at one time.

Err, by which I meant
http://twitter.com/XDkylehu/statuses/1451755915
I’m PMA because I’m an aspiring banjo player with a heart of gold who loves to wear vintage Umbros. Also, I’ve decorated my room exclusively with artisan bread. If that’s not PMA, I don’t know what is.

I’m pretty much amazing because I work for a newspaper and still have a job! Wow, that sounded lame. I really am amazing, just ask me!
I’m PMA, because i’m a kickass artist, who loves nothing more than music and art, still in highschool but planning on attending an art college, which is definitely PMA
I’m pretty much amazing, because April 17th, the day this giveaway ends, is my birthday, and tickets to All Points West would be the best present ever. Also I just went all the way to Austin TX for SXSW from NYC just to listen to some amazing music; that level dedication has to be PMA.

i’m PMA because i just go in to the college of my dreams (FIT) and their honors program, and i get to move to new york this summer to go. all points west would be one final blow out (with the best music festival lineup i’ve seen thus far) for my best friend and i before we split off!

I’m PMA because I spend all my hard-earned money on concert tickets… Clearly, I have a problem. But you can’t deny my passion for the music (enduring thronging masses, fights, weed clouds, no bathroom breaks, long hours standing in line, long hours waiting for a show to start, concert buddies who talk too much, lack of concert buddies, drunken teenyboppers, and fellow concert-goers who fart/burp in my general vicinity). In short, I’ll endure almost anything to enjoy a few moments of pure, unadulterated musical bliss. And that’s either PMA or PMC (pretty much crazy).
http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=68344037464&h=1co4Y&u=zZoYC&ref=nf
I’m pretty much amazing because I live and breathe music. Music is my passion and getting the chance to hear new bands or new material from fav bands is like a fucking orgasm. not to kiss ass here, but I do believe this site is something else, you introduce me to new music every time I check out this site, this site is pretty much like a drug. I’m also pretty much amazing because I speak Spanish, play the acoustic guitar, can do back flips, and I’m a huge Coldplay and Vampire Weekend fan, they make my life better everyday.
To put it simply, I’m PMA because I don’t want to go to this festival. I hate Vampire Weekend and would never be associated with a festival where they are invited to play.
I’m pretty much amazing because I love music. It’s my only source of happiness and enjoyment, after a long day at work or classes early in the morning music never ceases to amaze me. I would love these tickets so much. And also, if you read this Arthur, I want to say hello. I met you at the Girl Talk concert in mlps and I remember you telling me your plans to bike down the coast. Best of luck!
good lineup… http://www.eardrumspop.blogspot.com/
i’m pretty much amazing because i’m spending my july in NY working my ass off to build a portfolio that hopefully art schools will like. i’m now very, very broke because of this very, very expensive program. a free festival on the last weekend of my stay would just be so fantastic!
http://twitter.com/KateMV/statuses/1458423913
i’m pma because i visit this blog and i’ve been working like crazy putting in extra time on the weekends and could use a great weekend in ny to listen to my favourite bands that is sure to be one to remember!
I’m PMA because despite all the extra hours of work I put in, and all the sleepless nights to get my pregnant girlfriend everything I need, I don’t feel any hate or regrets about it. Being a dad will open my mind to more about life, parenthood, and more importantly Family. I can’t wait till Late May. The festival just won’t be just about music, but about being together and enjoying it with thousands around us.
And oh yea, these would be great for me and her to attend for a long 9 months of screaming, food cravings, emergency drives and phone calls and of course labor that we (but mainly her) will have to endure. Yep… I Love Her
My birthday is 4 days before the start of this festival so nice b-day gift too.

I’m PMA because I will base all of my other summer plans around these three days of heaven. Plus I’m from Texas, and need to get away from these hicks who listen to country garbage.
Also, I’m PMA because I go to church when my Mom asks me to.
im pretty much amazing because i check pma every day multiple times a day since the very beginning, i love discovering new music, so many of my favorite bands are going to be playing the festival (vampire weekend, coldplay, mgmt, the national fleet foxes, the ting tings, etc etc etc), and it would be so awesome to go!!! i’ve also been having a pretty bad year getting adjusted to a school i dont like and this would be the best pick me up. it would be an experience that i would never forget!!
I am not PMA because I can’t enter this competition because I can’t afford to fly from NZ to NJ as much as I’d love to. However, I cannot resist saying MAN this is a cool site! PMA is, quite simply, A for offering it – I hope you guys are all going yourselves too. Then you can blogshare the love with people like me who can’t enter. You rock! And this doesn’t count as ass kissing cos I’m not entering. Yep.
I guess I’m pretty much amazing because I started a music zine at my school this semester. I would love the tics because my friend and I have always wanted to go to a music fest, but have never been able to.
I’m PMA for being as honest as I am about being PMA. I’m PMA because I’m sort of not a big deal, but should be. I’m PMA because no matter how you listen to my Ipod, you’re listening to nothing but greatness. I’m PMA because I usually don’t boast about how amazing I am, but, for music I make an exception.

APW –> switch –> PWA –> flip –> PMA!
PWA = APW by switch ‘n flip!
I am PMA for discovering this.
nice i will definateley try for this one!!
ha ha this made me laugh

I’m PMA because I think the most telling question to ask someone is “If you had to be half-person, half-hot dog, divided at the waste, which half would be which and why?”
I am bottom half-hot dog, because I’d still like to be able to think, use my arms and eat, but I understand the argument for walking and getting down.
I deserve these because I’m getting laid off in June and this would be a wonderful thing to look forward to this summer. And I had fun at last year’s APW.

I’m PMA because I work for a tax agency and it is crazy this time of year.
I’m PMA because I finished 6 pints of Haagen daz this week. And I’m still alive. Because I’m eighteen years old and love Disney World. Because I have yet to attend a concert but am madly in love with Arctic Monkeys and MGMT. Because I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m lovin’ it.
I’m PMA because I honestly feel it is unnecessary for me to explain why I am PMA.

I’m Pretty Much Amazing because my sneakers cost more than my wardrobe.
http://apps.facebook.com/wildfire/fbhandler.ashx?mode=cview&fb_oid=515430113
I’m Pretty Much Amazing because I scour the internet for new music daily, frequent your site the most, and put only the best of it all on my own new blog. I live for great soundtracks to life. All Points West would be the most pretty much amazing thing I would ever experience, with all my favorite bands in one place.
I am PMA because I am a fun loving, charismatic, whirlwind ball of energy! I go to live music whenever I can, and I buy cd’s even though I have over 80 gigs of music on mp3!! I’m the Milli in Vanilli, I’m the peanut butter to the jam, I’m the cats pajamas! Pick me!!!!!!
http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=166605250346&h=fUDqX&u=0YDRn&ref=mf
I’m Pretty Much Amazing for the following reasons:
1. I’m a dedicated blogger and I have been holding down Columbus, Ohio for the past year.
2. I love music.
3. I love live music even more.
4. I’m getting married August 14th and this would be an AMAZING pre-wedding gift for me and my fiance! We are paying for almost all of the wedding ourselves so we wouldn’t be able to afford these tickets otherwise.
5. I’ve covered some other festivals in the past and I want to use my new camera this year! Here are a few of my links you might care to check out…

http://thegrip.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/kanye-west-disappoints-bonnaroo-2008/
6. I LOVE LIVE MUSIC!!!
I’m Pretty Much Amazing because I kept my hair while I was fighting cancer. I’m Pretty Much Amazing because I beat it.
I’m pretty much amazing because I’m from Venezuela (yeah that’s in south america) and I have to save up to 4 months salary to be able to go to New York. Because I don’t have a credit card (banks hate me, true punk) and in Venezuela – thanks to our idiot president – we have exchange rate control, the tickets that cost 200 to everyone, they cost me 600 $ because I have to buy black market dollars.
So i’m pretty much amazing because I buy counterfeit dollars.
I am pretty much amazing because this summer I am helping to revive Jewish life in Poland.
Also, I paid for APW last summer and want to go again for free!!
I am pretty much amazing because I incorporate music into literally everything I do and make it fun and funny, my girlfriend’s parent’s love me, and I stay true to who I am no matter the circumstance… and that’s pretty damn hard to do in college!
http://twitter.com/ewcashmoney/status/1465448952
Duh. I’m PMA, because I visit prettymuchamazing.com and I use the word “Duh”
I’m PMA because I’m a hardworking, funloving, musically inclined college student at school in rainy, dreary Providence, RI, and I am dying to go to APW!
http://twitter.com/NatashaGoes/status/1466272546
Because I love music just as much as you. And not always the same song, but in the same way. Music allows me to step out of my normal day and find inspiration in something. It breaks down the monotony of Excel, Word, PowerPoint and makes every second of great new music a great moment in my day.

I guess I’m PMA because I just am…I need a break from being a music education student and would love some free tickets! ^_^ My best friend Garrett and I would have a B L A S T! Peace!
I am PMA because of the life I have chose to live.
I’m Pretty Much Amazing because I somehow managed to get a job while many people are being laid off!
I’m pretty much amazing mainly because the last time I was in New Jersey I stayed in a hotel directly across from a prison. I opened the curtains in the morning to find twenty guys in white get ups playing basketball in a heavily fenced off court. It didn’t occur to me until later…
I’m PMA because i drink a bottle of Coke every day- even though i know the health risks
(yea, i’m BA…)
…)
I also need these tickets because imma poor black gal with no money to spend on her most favorite bands ever and my good friend andrea and I would be devastated if we were denied the opportunity to see The Ting Tings and Yelle and Fleet Foxes in our own New Jersey soil >.<

I got laid off last month. Pretty much the worst, but I am now pursuing my twin loves (cuisine and music). APW would be a great opportunity to network, and that would be (and make me) P M A
http://twitter.com/thegreatest/status/1470700661
I’m PMA because I’m from Jersey and everything in Jersey is PMA.
I’m PMA because I spent my rent money on cheap beer but even a homeless man should get to see the Beasties Friday night
I’m Pretty Much Amazing because 6 months ago, straight out of college, I moved to 5 hours north to the dirty Jerz, for a job, not knowing a soul. I lived in a shitty hotel for month. I finally got a place-only to learn that I had to pay an 800.00 student loan payment every month for the next 30 years-meaning no money. No Money=no fun. No fun=no friends. Its a vicious cycle. I download music off of your page for amusement and plug my ipod in at work everyday to escape. The only concert I have ever been to was Jay-Z in my sophomore year of high school. Although Jay-Z is great, it was hardly moving. At this rate, considering current financial status-I won’t make it to one anytime soon. But most importantly, beyond the woe is me pity party, I have no musical talent (not so amazing). I wish to Moses that I did… I live vicariously through the beats and artists that I love. I live to hear the sound (music) and it would be so dope to be able to see that sound for once-instead of relying on my ears for satisfaction. Good Luck everybody!
I am pretty much amazing because, im amazing. I have diabetes. I’m from Canada. I’m a university student trying to “make it” in life. I’ve missed Beastie and Coldplay concerts the past year because, well, Im a student and cant afford it.balls. I have 4 brothers and I am more amazing than each of them.I’m pretty much amazing because I go to this site daily and impress my friends with “my” new music knowledge. They think im a genius. Or amazing, one or the other.
I am pretty much amazing because i am a government and studio art double major and desperately trying to find a way to use both of them in my future profession.

I’m PMA because I am majoring in Biology in Religion, and despite all of the work associated with those (read Organic Chemistry II) I STILL find time to visit PMA every night. Being able to afford these tickets would be amazing, but until that happens, I’d love to win them!
Can I be frank? I’m not all that amazing. I live my daily life in the hope that I will one day be/feel, if even “pretty much,” amazing. Getting to go to APW would certainly be a defining moment in my quest for cool.

I’m Pretty Much Amazing (and deserve these passes) because, well, I never miss a chance to go see the bands that I like. Whether that involves forgoing certain foods that I love/need (i.e. only eating half the usual amount) to save money, and earning money through experimental studies, I somehow always strive to find a way to go. Last year, before I even had a job (my current one) I won a contest and had the most amazing time of my life at APW. This year, although I do have a job, I have to use the income I earn to pay for college to minimize the amount of loans that I’d have to take out otherwise, so I’m a bit low (okay, very low) on funds. When my BF and I saw the lineup, we freaked out because so many of our favorite bands will be playing. Winning these tickets would be a dream come true, as cliche as that sounds. I don’t give a crap about all the smoke/pot/public restrooms, even though I’m somewhat allergic to smoke…this would be one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Oh, and I can type up to 120 wpm. And have performed (piano) at Carnegie Hall. Twice.
I’m pretty much amazing because I partied with Lil Jon in Vegas strip club and blew most of my money with just enough to get home. I believe in a Can’t Stop Won’t Stop way of life, going to back to back concerts out all night getting the most music and fun I can before my frail body gives up. I love music and the chance to see Tool live has me giddy with delight, as well as the chance to go to beautiful (maybe exagerated) new Jersey for the first time in my life from lil ole Calgary, AB, Canada. Make all these and more come true, and I will bring you some canadian beer and bacon!

i’m pretty much amazing because i’m simply myself. i may be from one of the smallest, more rural states (nh) but that doesn’t stop me from living my life out loud and how i want it to be. i’ve got a passion for music and have worked concerts ranging from the tragically hip to snoop dogg. i’ve made it a point to get awesome music to come & be heard here in the 603. i’ve got kids in jean overalls jamming out on a friday night to the newest britney remix, or blasting lady gaga & kid cudi down a dirt road. i’ve always wanted to attend a big festival as thats the area of concerts i want to work with in the future, but not many come close. winning this (to one of the closer of all the festivals) would be pretty much amazing for someone who is definitely amazing.
Because I’m fucking amazing.
I’m Pretty Much Amazing because I fought a bear in a ten round boxing match on the top of Mt. Everest, after reaching the summit with the aid of naught but one of those elastic sticky hands that you slap onto windows. I won, but narrowly escaped the eruption of Mt. Everest by leaping into a helicopter. My helicopter was soon pursued by a Russian attack chopper, which I cleverly outwitted by landing in a river, tricking the Russian into thinking I was dead. At the last second, I pulled out a rocket launcher and blasted him through the broken windshield. The flaming wreckage of his helicopter fell into an open hole in the ground, eventually landing in and supplementing the fires of hell. I decided to follow, landing my helicopter on the ground floor of hell. I was greeted graciously, but my helicopter was soon destroyed by Satan’s minions. To save myself, I challenged him to a guitar duel. Satan and I rocked so hard that the walls of hell crumbled, revealing a host of Barbara Streisand robotic clones (living tissue over metal endoskeleton). Satan, shocked that his dominion had been a lie all along, started shattering cyborg faces with lasers from the top of his guitar, powered by insane riffs. Following his cue, I did the same. Together we battled our way through the mass of true evil, vaporizing robo-clones left and right. When the dust settled, we shook hands and parted ways. On my way home, I noticed sirens surrounding a burning building, in which several people were trapped. I saved them, with the help of several land-faring sharks (long story). In the end, I was presented with the key to the city amidst a ticker-tape parade featuring thousands of chimpanzees dressed in tiger costumes. I was distracted from the celebration for a short time in order to sing “Twist and Shout” with a few of my high-school buddies on the main float. We got a pretty good ovation, but it wasn’t half as loud as that time I defeated a massive force of invading aliens one year on July 4th. Welcome to Erf.
…and that’s why I’m pretty much amazing.
i like to think i’m pretty much amazing cos, 1- i’m the dumbass who decided to attempt writing why i’m amazing AFTER ^that guy (seriously, who can compete with that?). 2- i’m genuine. i’m 22 years old and don’t wear makeup, still listen to my momma, refuse to give other girls the stink-eye, would rather go to a show than out to a bar, and would rather listen to music than study throughout the last month of my college career. :}
I’m pretty much amazing because I haven’t shot the guy who is sitting next to me in the library in the face yet. Not only does he smell super gross; he’s watching random soccer videos on youtube with the volume up really high and he keeps jumping in his chair and making really loud noises at the screen.
It would be so easy to punch him in the side of his head, but I won’t, and I think that I deserve something for that, don’t you?

I am pretty much amazing because I once spent a snowy, winter night sleeping alone in an ATM in downtown Prague, and lived to tell the tale.
(oh yeah, and after getting my Macbook stolen right out of my sleeping arms in the process, with a little help from Skype and the police- I got it back from the bastard!)

I am a poor college student who wants to see so many bands and yet has so little money. And my roommate and I can be credited with bringing MGMT to our dorm.

i’m pretty much amazing because i’m a broke college student whose concert fund went from not enough to even less.
i’m currently living in los angeles and interning at interscope records for free. that means the homeless man dressed up as spiderman on hollywood boulevard makes more money than me. a three day pass to coachella is 2 months of gas and groceries so i’m already missing one amazing festival.
i’m driving home to the east coast for the summer and i’d love to go to all points west. plz?
COLDPLAY AND BEASTIE BOYS?

I’m PMA because
Today is my 21st birthday and I want to go to Coachella but APW is closer (I’m from Philly)
I’ve never been to a music festival.
I’m from India and probably never get to see these bands ever again.
I’m PMA because I’m a college student on my third unpaid internship and I am dead broke and really want to see these bands. I’m studying photojournalism and am a DJ on the college radio station, please help me! I can try to get a photo pass too and you can use my photos on PMA! Sue Johanson once called me a stud.

I am pretty much amazing because I’m a single dad thats been working a 9-5 for 6 years and I finally found someone to babysit the kids that weekend!!
I’m PMA because I once borrowed a pen from Joe Perry.
I’m also a broke college radio DJ who had a blast at APW last year, but lack the funds to go again this time around. I’m juggling being a Psychology/English major and trying to have some kind of social life at all.
Pretty please?

I’m pretty much amazing because I just accepted a job teaching in Russia, which –coincidentally!– is also why I deserve APW tickets, because I leave the US in mid-August, and APW will be basically my last chance to see some great shows for a LONG time, because, seriously, no one ever plays Russia.

It’s Pretty Much Amazing how bad I screwed up entering my twitter link into this contest. For that alone, I should win passes. Thanks.

I’m PMA, because I love music and the bands of APW so much that even though I can’t afford to buy an MP3 player, I still carry around a diskman, so I can listen to music all the time. AND APW is two days before my 21st birthday, and it would make a pretty much amazing birthday gift!
I’m PMA because… i’m willing to do ANYTHING to expand my musical horizons…including BSing about how PMA I really am.
I am pretty much amazing because im young and i justt wanna havee fun bitchez! music is my life, and my sixteen year old self can’t afford these tickets, i would do anything for them, i would even eat a cricket! =]

I’m PMA because I’m unique. I have yet to meet someone that gets me. I know, for sure, that I deserve these tickets. my best friend told me about this concert yesterday && bam! you’re giving away tix! so yeah, I deserve this (:
oh no, am gutted that i missed the deadline by a day! live in london but just found out bout the festival and would have gladly hopped across the sea if i won a ticket.
I’m Pretty Much Amazing I wake up every morning and get excited to write about music on my blog, 20 watts. It’s a college music magazine, and I’m the reviews editor. I’m pretty much amazing because I’m my own show at concerts. I leave it on the floor, and I drench my t-shirts. I’m pretty much amazing because at the last Girl Talk concert at Cornell, I wore the following: a green wife-beater, a read Adidas headband, yellow Sofie shorts and neon-green gloves with cut-off finger tips from Hot-Topic.
I posted all of this on Facebook and Twitter.
