Has everyone out there heard of Flat Stanley? Depending on your age, you may have had a Flat Stanley in elementary school. I’m familiar with the little guy because my sister is a second grade teacher, and I’ve hosted a few at my place.

Flat Stanley is a flat cardboard or paper cutout person that you send off to friends or relatives in far away places who take photos of Stan at famous or interesting locations. I’ve taken my Flat Stanley snowboarding, he’s ridden on the San Fransisco cable cars, and he’s stood on the stage at Red Rocks.

What does this have to do with anything music related? Boutique guitar effects builder CheeseBlocks is running a very fun giveaway right now, with a Flat Stanley-related twist. If you go to their website, you can download an image of Flat Cheesy. Your goal? Get his photo taken in the most creative/famous place you can find, or with the most unique/famous person you can find… or both!

The person with the coolest photo will win a CheeseBlocks prize pack including a Small Wonder booster, a Small Wonder mini button, and a CheeseBlocks Logo Sticker, plus a $50 credit towards any pedal or mod purchase. First-runner up gets a CheeseBlocks logo t-shirt and logo sticker and the second runner up get a logo sticker.

By the way, I’ve heard some great things about CheeseBlocks effects. They have a lot of buzz going right now (you can check out their reviews at Harmony Central), so even if you don’t think you’ll be hanging with the Dalai Lama or visiting the Taj Mahal in the next three weeks, check out their website and see what they have to offer.
