What Happens On the SNC Cruise STAYS On the SNC Cruise ...Or Does It?

Title: Contest #4
Episode Number: N/A

Hey Chasers, we've got a very fun contest so listen up!

Did you attend the SNC Cruise this year and get your socks blown off? 
WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!

Send us an e-mail answering one of the 3 topics below to sncfanchat@gmail.com and the best answers will get an invitation to tell their story on the next SNC FanChat, Straight No Chaser's very first fan-run podcast!

Best answers win, so give it your all! Contest ends next Friday, November 2nd at noon PST, and we'll choose our winners afterwards and respond to your e-mail for your invitation to be on the show.

To help kick this off, one of our very own FanChat hosts, Dave White, and Chaser extraordinaire, Carla Rodriguez, went around the cruise ship looking for Chasers (which wasn't hard at all if you can imagine) to interview, so stay tuned right here to our blog page ( http://sncfanchat.blogspot.com ) as we will be releasing a new interview every day or so. Maybe you'll get to see someone that you've only interacted with in the social media world, or, even better, maybe you'll even meet someone new!

Click here for our very first SNC FanChat Video Interview with Chaser Julie Futer!

1. Straight No Chaser is comprised of 10 very different musical talents who were able to showcase themselves differently on the cruise. So what was your favorite event on the SNC cruise and why?

2. Attendees of the SNC cruise received highly coveted information about Straight No Chaser's next upcoming studio album. Without giving away too much, give us an idea as to what we have to look forward to and if you can divulge, give us some examples.
