I am not sure how we missed this but RIM has a Foo Fighters contest and sweepstakes going on with a grand prize of trip for two to see the Foo Fighters or a private performance by them in your garage. The sweepstakes for the trip to see the Foo Fighters in concert ends today and its really simple to enter compared to the Best Buy version. You need to fill out the form at http://www.foofightersgaragetour.com/ and the contest is open to US and Canadian residents except for Quebec.

The contest on the other hand is a bit more complicated but also ends today. You need to submit a photo of YOUR garage and in 25 words or less tell RIM why the Foo Fighters should play in your garage. You enter that contest at this link.
