squint announces Squintfest 2003 logo design contest!

squint has opened up the design of this year's Squintfest 2003 logo to all their fans and friends.

Please submit your 1-color logo design to squintfest@NOSPAMsquint.com by midnight of April 6th, 2003 - the only rule is that you make sure it includes the words "Squintfest 2003" - written any way you would like (lower case, upper case, spell out 2003, whatever)

All the logos will be pre-judged, and the best designs will be put up to a vote at www.squint.com for the period of 1-week.

*Squintfest is a charity to benefit Parkinson disease research, there is nothing to be won except a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart.

There will be no Runner-Ups, just a winner. that design will be used on all promotional material for Squintfest. We aren't a bunch of lawyers so most of the "fine print" details - we never even considered. We just wanted to open up the logo design to everyone this year for fun! I guess for legal reasons, we would have to say the all entries are the property of squint, but this really doesn't matter because the logo isn't going to be used to make any profit - so even if you got all weird on us and tried to sue us for it - you couldn't get anything! Everything that is left after expenses goes to charity. Last year we gave over 2 grand! We are hoping to top that this year!

squint was the victim of a robbery sometime between 7:30PM on September 12 and 4PM on September 13th.

Thieves entered their rehearsal area and took Matt Fredrickson's Red Gibson Les Paul guitar and Young Charles' Starburst Epiphone Thunderbird bass.
These instruments have been used to perform and write squint's music for many, many years and the emotional value of them is immeasurable.

If anyone knows anything, please let us know.
