The title says it all for the most part. Our friends over at Do512.com have a sweet contest for you. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe you think that the shows are a bunch of lame-ass shows that you wouldn’t be interested in going to see? Wrong you might be my friend. This prize applies to any show at Emos, The Parish, The Beauty Bar, Antone’s, Beerland, Flamingo Cantina, and Threadgills for the month of August.

Here is the official release from the Do512ers.

Win the Ultimate Month of Free Live Music

Do512.com Promotes Embeddable Music Calendar with Seriously Cool Prize

(Austin, TX): Do512.com, the Austin website that lets users see and hear bands playing upcoming shows, is promoting their new embeddable show calendar with a prize that matters to the music lover: a month’s worth of free shows at the top venues across the city.

By going to http://dostuffmedia.com/do512/, show goers can easily create their own interactive concert calender and plop it right where they live – on places like their Myspace, Facebook and blog pages. There, their calendar “widget” will stay live, with the capacity to play update-able audio and video of chosen shows right on that page. The folks at Do512 think these personal music calendars will change the way Austin music fans choose and share that information with friends. And to get people to use the thing, they’re dangling a big carrot: a chance to win two free passes to every single show at Austin‘s top music venues for a full month.

“Static, word-and-date calendars are pretty boring,” says Do512 co-founder, Scott Owens, “and are relatively uninformative and uninspiring. Our little calendar widget lets our users hear, see and share the bands playing upcoming shows on their own social web pages. No big deal, but we think it’s a quantum leap in music sample-ability and overall enjoyment. Which ought to make a difference in how people experience our rich music scene.”

To enter the contest, go to do512.com/VIP, and embed the calendar widget on a page between July 1^st and 31^st . The winner will be notified July 31^st, and will receive a pass for themselves +1 to every show at Emo’s, The Parish, Antone’s, Flamingo Cantina, Beerland, Beauty Bar and Threadgill’s for the entire month of August.
