CONTEST ALERT // Scoutmob Gives You A Chance To Win A 52-Show Pass To The Bell House

Deal websites are a dime a dozen these days, but amidst the madness of half-price nail salon visits and deep dining discounts, Scoutmob is one startup that we can really get on board with.

Rather than just throwing together a hodge-podge of deals and hoping that bargain hunters will bite, Scoutmob features local content tailored to 20 different cities across the country and offers deals for places that we'd want to hit up anyway. It's a real community rather than a sterile digital clearinghouse.

Case in point: right now you can enter Scoutmob's "Live Like A Groupie" contest, which will give one lucky winner a chance to rock out (along with a guest) at 52 shows of their choosing at The Bell House, the excellent home-grown concert hall in Gowanus. That's one concert each week for an entire year. Sign us up.

We've been huge fans of The Bell House since they opened their doors back in 2008, and they continue to host tons of amazing live shows. Currently on the horizon are appearances by Philly indie folkers Good Old War, Atlas Sound (Bradford Cox from Deerhunter), acclaimed folk songstress Dar Williams, awesome rocker Ted Leo and funk and soul master Lee Fields. Something for everyone, really. Or all just for you, if you're lucky enough to win Scoutmob's contest. Enter now, because the December 6 deadline is fast approaching.
