In less than one week, approximately sixty four majillion super-awesome MuchMeisters will line up outside of 299 Queen Street West to score wristbands for admission to the 2010 MuchMusic video awards.

Advanced futuristic technomalollogies tell us that it will look something like this:

As an MMVA Virgin Mobile VVIP, It’s important that I am on scene to capture the melee (obvs). But, unlike mighty security folk who be on hand to keep tabs on the fiasco (assuring that it does not, in fact, turn into a fiasco at all – relatively speaking, of course. You can’t bring together eleventy zillion Bieber fans and expect the scene to be completely tame), I am but a PUNY WIMP!

If I show up at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday when the wristband giveaway begins, I won’t have a chance in H-E-Double hockey sticks of getting myself to the front of the line for some Twitpicitty goodness.

That’s why I decided to go earlier than that. WAY earlier:

Do YOU want to score a wristband?

That was a stupid question. Of course you do!

If the steady stream of  “OMG LAUREN CAN YOU HOOK ME UP WITH MMVA TICKETS PLEEEEASE?” messages I’ve been fielding over the past couple of weeks have taught me anything, it’s that everybody and their sister’s boyfriend’s step cousin-in law wants to be at this event.

I don’t really blame them for asking. I mean, it’s going to be the sickest award show EVAR (well… almost ever).

Unfortunately, digital correspondents are not bearers of wristbands. If I want to get a wristband for my own mother I’ll need to bring her along with me to Much Headquarters on Saturday to wait in line for one just like everybody else. Maybe I will! She totally thinks the Biebs is a cutie (in a most NON creepy and very legal way).

Here’s what you need to know to get your own wristband so that you can be a part of the MMVA audience on June 20th:

• The MMVA wristband giveaway starts at 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 12 at MuchMusic HQ : 299 Queen St. West, Toronto.

• You MUST be at least 14 years old to score one of these puppies.You WILL be asked to show ID so please don’t wait in line all night if you’re 13 years and 364 days old, unless you just want to wait in line for kicks or something. But you won’t get a wristband. On the plus side, you can still order off the kids menu at most restaurants and rock out in the ballpit at Chucky Cheese without looking like a crazylady. For this, I envy you my youthful friend…
• Like I said – you MUST BRING ID – Valid forms of identification include school photo ID with your birth certificate, driver’s license, photo health card, TTC card or passport (actual or photocopied). Basically, some form of photo ID (if it’s school ID or a TTC card, we’ll need your birth certificate too.)
• You can’t pick up a wristband for your friend, your dad, your cousin or your pet dragon. It’s one wristband per person, capiche? Once that magical ticket is on your wrist, you can’t take it off until after the MMVAs are over. You can leave it on until September if you want to, though. I probably will.
• Please bring a non-perishable food item for the Food Bank. This won’t guarantee you a wristband, but it WILL help out somebody in need and bring good karma your way
• Wristbands are free free free! Don’t try bribing the staff, ‘cause it won’t work. You can try bribing me if you want, but I can’t get you a wristband. I will, however, gladly accept your hard earned money and/or home-baked items of deliciousness in exchange for… um… a heartfelt thankyou?
• Security Staffers will be monitoring the line-up at all times – and they’re pretty tough cookies, so Moms and Dads need not worry about your kids getting mugged and stuff. I hereby declare that I will personally drop kick anybody who tries to mess with one of my fellow MuchManiacs. I’m fierce like that.
• If for some reason you can’t get a wristband (too young, too late to the lineup, too busy on June 12th), fear not! You can still come and watch the MMVAs from the street on June 20. You will most definitely be able to see the stages and you never know who might come out to sign autographs or mug for your digi-cams.

Don’t want to brave the lineup? YOUR LOSS, KITTEN! It’s going to be a good time… but there arrre other ways that you can potentially get yourself a wristband without showing up June 12th.

1. Get creative with MuchMusic and Meal Exchange to win TWO WRISTBANDS (and help change the world in the process. NBD.) All you have to do is “like” meal exchange on Facebook, and answer this question through skit, rap, song, poem – however you like to express your fabulous self: “How would you make sure that every Canadian has access to healthy food?”Full contest deets right hurr.

2. Solve the MMVA Mega Mystery! There are 6 special wristbands hidden across Canada – and these are no ordinary wristbands, my friends. If you solve the clues and are the first to locate the Mega Mystery wristband in your area, you and one very lucky friend will be partying like mother freakin’ ROCKSTARS at the MMVAs. Walking the red carpet, chillin’ with celebs in the VIP, flying to Toronto FOH FREE. Yeah. Worth the sleuthin‘, imho.

Annnd just because I have the opportunity to mention it, this commercial for the Mega Mystery contest pretty much makes my day every time I see it. Old lady ninja assasins? Um, helllllz yes. I feel like this video was made for me.

Nizzzzzle OUT!

<3 Always, btw.
