Default A couple of sample entries from HeadRoom

HeadRoom Staff Sample Entry #1

"Nerdy techno-monks at HeadRoom scurry day and night to ready my head for the bliss awaiting. I hadn't though that masonry done at the tip of a smoldering soldering iron would would velvet line my noggin so well. Thanks, geeks, I'll light a candle and leave a nickle in your box for the refreshing stay."


HeadRoom Staff Sample Entry #2

It all started with an SR60
Lying in the dark
when something just hit me
It sent shivers down my spine
made my hair stand on end
I had never experienced such emotion within


I thought I had found
how music should be heard
and wanted to share
with the rest of the world


I would listen with friends
I would listen alone
until someone forgot to
turn off that damn phone


I tried to go back to my trusty old Sony's
but my brain kept sayin' this sound is phony.


I hopped on the net
did a search for noise cancelling
stumbled upon a picture,
a man in a tutu dancing


He wore big headphones, HD580's
I imagined they scare away all the ladies
but I looked around the website some more
and found photo's of ladies with headphones galore.


It looked like a joke but I scrolled on down
to find headphone geeks that live in my town.


They described a headphone that seemed like a wet willie
and I knew for sure that these geeks were silly
but after some convincing, I obliged
a tad disgusted but to my surprise


It sent shivers down my spine
made my hair stand on end
I had once again experienced
such emotion within.


So I was careful enough to not sound like a jerk
and was lucky enough that they gave me some work


My responsibility is to be
the biggest headphone geek I can be
And by bringing sanctuary to you,
HeadRoom does for me.


Staff Sample Entry #3

By the way, we'd love to see any of your contributions here too if you're willing to share your genius before the contest ends.

Well, there will be two winners and graphic design entries are allowed. I've seen a ton of portable rig pictures and some that could possibly take the cake so, spice it up a little and make it a contest. How's that for leading you on?
