It’s a general rule of thumb in life that if you want someone to do something, you have to give them something in return. It applies to potty-training a child, teaching a dog to sit, and even sexual favours.

With that in mind it makes sense for me to tell you what we want you to do. It’s pretty simple really; we want you to post more stuff on our facebook page. We talk heaps with you guys on our facebook page, and it's almost like we're mates. Except that we never actually see you, only in the digital world. So we want to hear more from you.

• You could post photos of your recently received Mr Vintage order.
• You could post a photo of your collection of Mr Vintage t-shirts.
• You could post a photo of yourself after you’ve had 14 beers and someone’s drawn a penis on your face.
• You could post a story of your Mr Vintage experience (good or bad).
• You could just as easily post a photo of you wearing your tee in some place exotic like Tahiti or Hawaii, but if it’s in your room in Papakura, that’s not likely to win you anything.

As outlined earlier, you’ll be receiving something for this. Each week we’ll choose a ‘Fan of the Week’ - most likely the person who has the funniest post or put the most effort in to their photo/post - and we’ll give them a $50 Mr Vintage voucher and also a Mai FM shout-out on facebook. Easy eh. Please note the shout out is not actually going to be on Mai FM, it will just be on our facebook page.

So yeah, the ‘Fan of the Week’ will start this week. Good place to start would be to L I K E . O U R . P A G E . or whatever.

Meanest.

The crafty cats over at www.MusicHy.pe have done it again. You might have seen their Mint Chicks USB they did a while back, which was sweet. Well... now they've managed to get the top 12 emerging NZ Indie artists together to make one sweet little mix tape. Packaged on this nifty little cassette USB, we're lucky enough to have 2 to give away.

We've decided to make it easy for you, just buy one of these NZ Indie Mix Tape t-shirts that you would've bought anyway - and the first two to purchase them will get themselves a Mix Tape USB. If you missed out on winning one, you can just buy it here.

In a bid to out-indie Fran, two of my three flatmates are actually featured on this compilation. the other one has a grammy nomination. nbd. no big deal.

It’s down at 302B Great North Rd, Grey Lynn, Auckland.

We’re pretty excited that our new retail store is now FINALLY OPEN, it’s super classy, and we want all of you to come down and check it out too… so the first five people that come down and buy a t-shirt with a printed copy of this blog post will get a FREE T-SHIRT!

It’s been a long time coming moving from Parnell, and for anyone that turned up at the old Parnell Showroom looking for us, we send our deepest apologies. We’ve moved to 302B Great North Rd, and you can now come in for your pick-ups & exchanges or just for a blat on your credit card.

Great North Rd is quite a big road though, so if you have any confusion about how to get to us, this will help you find our store.

So come on down and check it out now. We put a lot of work in to it, so we’d love to hear what you guys think about it. Tell all your friends as well; they’ll no doubt think it’s great too.
