Taking Woodstock Sweepstakes
Written by Lex Walker
Friday, 28 August 2009   

Ang Lee's new film Taking Woodstock, a retelling of the greatest musical event ever, hits theaters today, and so to celebrate the release JustPressPlay is giving away 5 Taking Woodstock Prize Packs. Each pack includes the official soundtrack and a special Taking Woodstock t-shirt and air freshener. Yes, an air freshener/ It may be scented with mud and beatnik sweat, but it's still an air freshener.

Based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, the comedy stars Demetri Martin as Elliot, who inadvertently played a role in making 1969’s Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. Featuring a standout ensemble cast, and songs from a score of ‘60s musical icons including The Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and Country Joe and the Fish – plus a new recording of “Freedom” from Richie Havens – Taking Woodstock is a joyous voyage to a moment in time when everything seemed possible. Cast also includes Jonathan Groff, Eugene Levy, Imelda Staunton, Emile Hirsch, Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

To enter, all you need to do is put your name in the box below and hit submit. takingwoodstock-lievLike all JustPressPlay contests we delete all e-mail addresses the day after the contest ends and never use any of them for marketing purposes. Because we think that's sleazy and hate spam as much as you. If not more. No, probably more. The contest ends September 18, 2009 at midnight. Duplicate entries (and yes we can tell) will be deleted and disqualified - so show some constraint and enter once.
