Did you go through an awkward stage? You know, when you were all braces and bad hair? When your back was glued to the wall at the school dance? When that special someone had no idea you existed?

Most people don't have fond memories of those days - if they ever ended. But for today, that awkwardness might just come in handy. Tonight, Vancouver band The Awkward Stage is holding their CD release party at the Media Club in Vancouver. (Heaven Is For Easy Girls will be in stores October 10th.)

But if you share a page from your awkward stage, you could win a copy of the new album, a Mint Records sampler, a Mint Records Yo-Yo, a mix of buttons, and a Mint Records flask to help you drown those teenage memories.

You can also check out Awkward Stage lead man Shane Nelken's own tale of gym class gone terribly wrong. (He jokes that he has 400 copies of the CD in his closet, so if he wins, he'll pass the prize on to another brave contestant.) To enter, you just have to write about one of those awkward moments - but the content closes today, so get those embarrassing moments flowing!
