May the Force be with You!

Coppergoose.com celebrates Star Wars with Three Giveaways

Sioux Falls, SD – May is a big month for Star Wars fans, and Coppergoose.com knows it! As a giveaway site catering to geeks, Coppergoose is celebrating Star Wars three times during the month of May.

Coppergoose kicked off the month by giving away Blu-Ray discs of the first three Star Wars movies on May 4, dubbed Star Wars Day for the pun, “May the Fourth be with You.” If you missed it, don’t worry—Coppergoose will be giving away the classic trilogy and even the whole saga later this month.

The next Star Wars giveaway will go live on May 14th, George Lucas’s 59th birthday. The month will finish off by celebrating the 36th anniversary of the opening of Star Wars, Episode IV on May 25. Star Wars has become so emblematic to geek culture that May 25 has been dubbed “Geek Pride Day.”

But in the midst of all this Star Wars love, Coppergoose hasn’t forgotten the Trekkies! Star Trek-themed giveaways will go up on May 17th, the opening date for Star Trek: Into Darkness.

About Coppergoose.com

Founded by Sioux Falls, South Dakota residents Paul Cross and Ivan VenOsdel, Coppergoose.com is a giveaway site catering to the “geek” market, including fans of comics, sci-fi and fantasy, video and board games, anime, and the weird and unusual. Each day, the site’s mascot (the Coppergoose) lays an “egg” with a prize in it. Users of the site enter into drawings to win the giveaways. If a user passes up a drawing, he is awarded “karma,” which can be used to sweeten his odds of winning future drawings. No purchase is necessary to play or to win.

Any goosers out there attending a Yuri’s Night Party? Yuri’s Night is this Friday (April 12), and a time for all geeks to celebrate. It commemorates Yuri Gagarin’s 1961 space flight — making him the first human in other space. Here in Gooseland, we’ve heard rumors that the goose might be hatching some space-related eggs. Stay tuned!

If you can’t find a party in your neighborhood, here are some other ways you can celebrate on your own:

Or just sit back, gaze up at the stars, and marvel all all the world that’s left to explore. Thanks to all those who keep us boldly going where none has gone before!

Last week, we got some Facebook lovin’ on our giveaways. Thanks, guys! We love givin’ you all free stuff.

“I’ve won four times! My little brother showed me the site and he hasn’t won a single time–he gets mad at me! LOL What can I say, I’m lucky! I love Coppergoose! It’s fun!” – Michelle Devon, TX

“I am one of your winners, and I can confirm that it was totally free! Also, its very easy to enter the daily contest. I always enjoy seeing each new prize, whether it’s something I want, or not.” – Jean Engbretson, IL

“I’ve won twice and my husband has also won twice! Hubby got a Dilbert calendar and ninja cookie cutters. I won a robot building kit and The Oblongs book. Of course, this was all a long time ago before coppergoose became so popular and it was easier to win. =]” – Mari Morman Merchant, SD

* Note from the Goose: Fear not Mari Morman Merchant. Believe it or not, even though we have gained users, the number of responses for our prizes has stayed about the same since you won your first prize. It has proven to be surprisingly difficult to find people who want to win prizes with free shipping and no tricks! Thanks for playing and congrats to you and everyone else who has won, we really appreciate the support.

Our friends (they can still be our friends if they don’t know we exist, right?) over at GeekDad recently put together a list of 67 books geeks should read to their geeklings (children) before said children are 10. Here at Coppergoose, we know the importance
Geek classics such as A Wrinkle in Time, Lord of the Rings, and The Princess Bride all made the list, along with some more obscure picks. You can check out the whole list (with pictures! ooh!) here. of Growing up Geek, and we continue to do all we can to support Geek Parents and a Geek Lifestyle by our daily geeky giveaways (including these books).

Did any of your favorites make the list? See anything you’d like us to give away on Coppergoose so that you and your little geeks can enjoy it together (or so you can keep it all to yourself?). Let us know by leaving a comment below!
