Slightly Stoopid has teamed up with Food Banks across the country to offer fans a chance to not only get good Karma by feeding the hungry, but also to win tickets to select dates on the Blazed and Confused Tour featuring Slightly Stoopid, Snoop Dogg, Stephen Marley, and Mickey Avalon.
Slightly Stoopid is offering fans a way to get tickets to the Blazed & Confused Tour while giving everyone a bit of good karma in the process. On select dates throughout the tour (listed below), Slightly Stoopid will be giving a pair of tickets away to the fan who donates the most food to certain food banks across the country. Via the Twitter, @SlightlyStoopid will be alerting their fans as to the exact time and place to drop off the canned goods to the food banks.
To win tickets, all you will have to do -- to find out which food banks and what date/time to drop off the food -- is follow Slightly Stoopid on Twitter (http://twitter.com/slightlystoopid).
