The unofficial website has been updated to include the upcoming tour dates
for this year.

Also, here's an announcement from GBs management:

Date: Tuesday, February 11, 2003
Title: ANNOUNCING GIN BLOSSOMS STREET TEAM CONTEST


ANNOUNCING THE FIRST GIN BLOSSOMS STREET TEAM CONTEST


The Markets: Orlando (HOB 3/8), Hallendale (3/9) Syracuse (Bridge Music
Hall 3/12), Poughkeepsie (Chance 3/13), Jay Peak (3/15), Killington (Pickel
Barrel 3/16), Savannah (Riverfest 3/17)

Objective: To raise awareness of the Gin Blossoms in key tour markets and to
help promote the band's upcoming concert dates. (We want these shows
packed - especially Orlando!!).

Rules: Contest begins 2/11 and ends 3/11 (On the 1 Year Anniversary of the
Gin Blossoms Yahoo Message Board). Participants may use any materials
available to them or anything that they create. Contestants MAY NOT
represent themselves as working for the band or their management company.
You are taking part in this contest as an independent member of a street
team. There will be no financial compensation for your time. The contest is not
limited to people living in the tour markets. We encourage everyone to get
involved and help spread the word. Your marketing campaign does not have
to focus on all the dates. In fact, it would be better if you concentrated on a
single show (Just a suggestion). Concepts should be in good taste and not
involve any illegal behavior. (Don't streak at the Arena Football Game with a
Gin Blossoms sticker across your bum).

Submissions: A brief description of your idea should be submitted ahead of
time. You should email or mail documentation of your project to
GinBlossoms1@.... In the case of posters, etc. you should email us for
an address to mail copies to. We cannot return items submitted.

Prizes:
(1) First Prize - Autographed Photo, Autographed DVD artwork, Autographed
Hotel Room Key (Hilton Anchorage), private color snapshot of band in Alaska,
T-shirt, Hat, 2 after-show passes to an upcoming show in your area (age
restrictions may apply)
