If you were either not satisfied with "My Drive Thru (ft. Pharrell, Santogold, and Julian Casablancas)"—or so into it that you just need more—enter the Converse/Journeys contest, "Get Out of the Garage." Here's the deal:
Consumers pick up a self-addressed envelope at any Journeys shoe store. Afterwards, they can drop the self-addressed envelope, which must contain only one song for review, in the mail. Alternatively, they can upload their song at GetOutoftheGarage.com.
After two rounds of judging, Downtown Records will select one final winner who will receive a free trip to New York City for four days, three nights and plenty of studio time to create and mix their own song.
The nine runners up will get a pair of Converse shoes, a gift certificate from Converse, and "prizing from Guitar Center to be determined."
All songs must be submitted by September 15.
