The Runaways, the big-screen biopic about the famed chick band, opens this Friday.  Locally, it'll be playing at the Meridian and the Guild 45th.  If somehow you don't know, the film stars Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie (not to mention Michael Shannon as the band's svengali/manager Kim Fowley) and brags an R rating, which warns of "language, drug use, and sexual content--all involving teens."  Mothers, hide your children.  (Mothers, also please note that Joan Jett will be performing at Little Creek Casino on March 27th.)

To celebrate The Runaways' release, The SunBreak has a couple prizes to give away to lucky readers. We already gave away a pass to a preview screening of the film, taking place at 7 p.m. this Thursday night at Pacific Place--congrats Angela!  But we've still got a super bad-ass prize pack, which includes a t-shirt, a poster from the film, a copy of Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway by Cherie Currie and Tony O'Neill (the book that the film is based on), a copy of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' Greatest Hits CD, The Runaways' soundtrack, and Joan Jett's upcoming photobook with Todd Oldham.

We'll be drawing the winner of the prize pack from all entries received this Friday at noon.  Enter below for your chance to win.... (more)

The Runaways, the big-screen biopic about the famed chick band, has had major buzz around it ever since it was announced that Kristen Stewart would be playing Joan Jett.  (OMG, BELLA, I LOVE YOOOOUUUUU!) At the world premiere of the film at Sundance, the venue was oversold and the teenage girls who had their tickets turned away were crying in the lobby at withdrawal from KStew.

Cry no more, angsty girls (and the boys who are tough enough to be in touch with their emotions), because The Runaways opens this Friday. To celebrate its release, The SunBreak has a couple prizes to give away to lucky readers. We've got a pass to a preview screening of the film, taking place at 7 p.m. this Thursday night at Pacific Place.  We've also got a super bad-ass prize pack, which includes a t-shirt, a poster from the film, a copy of Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway by Cherie Currie and Tony O'Neill (the book that the film is based on), a copy of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' Greatest Hits CD, The Runaways' soundtrack, and Joan Jett's upcoming photobook with Todd Oldham. 

We'll be drawing the winner of the preview pass on Tuesday night.  This is a local screening, so you've got to be here in Seattle to win it (no doy).  We'll be drawing the winner of the prize pack from all entries received on Friday at noon.  You don't have to be local to win the prize pack, though you do need to live in the US.  Enter below for your chance to win....
