Twitter user DharaShah and commenter Nicole have won 2 tickets each to Gala Flamenca tomorrow night at Lisner! Congratulations to the winners of our most recent competition!
True, we might not have yet dug ourselves out of this snow by then — and it looks like tomorrow we might be suffering some aftershocks– but hey, what’s better to melt the the ice on the streets (and in your heart?) than some fiery flamenco!?
***This Contest Is Now Closed***
Next week kicks off a month of fabulous flamenco shows at Lisner Auditorium as part of the 10th Annual Flamenco Festival. Each performer showcases direct-from-Spain performer(s), and we’ve partnered with Lisner to give you, dear readers, a chance to win tickets to the kick off show, Gala Flamenca, on Tuesday, February 9th, at 8 pm.
Gala Flamenca features Pastora Galván, Manuel Liñán, Belén López, and Rocío Molina, each bold and modern dancers who have achieved world fame and praise. Learn more on the Lisner event site.
There are two ways you can win a pair of tickets:
Competition ends Monday, February 8 at Noon. We’ll announce winners on the blog that afternoon. Hurry up and enter! (And yes, you can enter both ways, but you can only win once!)
The winners will be selected randomly. Every person who enters gets assigned a number and then we’ll use a random number generator to pick one. One winner will be selected from comment entrants, a different winner will be selected from Twitter entrants. We’ll contact the winners via the email address provided, or through direct message on Twitter. Each winner will receive two tickets.
Well, to be clear, you won David Sedaris tickets if you’re Kristen S. who left the comment:
During my freshman year of college my parent’s went through a rough divorce, and it was up to me and my brother to referee their marathon fights and fits during the whole tumultuous period.
It was that winter, right around the holidays, when everything got bad. The whole Christmas season seemed to exacerbate the situation. I was away at school when things started to get worse, and my brother felt like he had nowhere to go to escape it all.
One December weekend he called me in a fit of hysteria, telling me he could not take it anymore, so I invited him up to stay with me at college. That was about the same time I picked up a copy of David Sedaris’s Holiday’s on Ice at a former English teacher’s recommendation. That weekend we sat in and read story after hilarious story in my dorm room, sometimes him reading aloud to me while I studied for finals.
For awhile it seemed like nothing could ever be funny to me or my brother, but Holiday’s on Ice seemed to break the tensions that tightened inside my Brother and I. My brother went home that weekend calm and collected, and with my copy of the book. His happiness seemed to cool our parent’s off a bit, and that Christmas turned out to be not so bad.
Although her story is pretty ridiculously compelling and would be a good reason to win on it’s own merit — we DID select the winner randomly by assigning a number to each valid comment and then selecting a random number. Then we confirmed she’s a Facebook Fan, which of course was necessary to win.
Kristin, you should have received an email from us by now, too, and you’ve got until Monday to claim your tickets. Congratulations!
We’ve got two 3rd row tickets to David Sedaris on October 7th at Lisner Auditorium. And you can win them!
We’ve talked about this event featuring the author/orator/humorist David Sedaris before. These tickets are sold out to the public, and only a few remain for GWorld-card-carrying students. They’re selling online for up to $250, but you can get them for free.
Here’s how.
1) Only our Facebook fans can win, so make sure to become a fan if you’re not already.
2) Leave a comment on this post telling us why you want to win.
3) Make sure to enter your real email address when you’re filling out the comment form (that’s how we’ll contact you.) No need to put your email address in the actual comment though.
4) The competition ends Wednesday, September 30th, at 5pm (est)
5) We’ll announce a randomly selected (and facebook-fan confirmed) winner on Friday, October 2nd.
Remember, you can only enter once, so no need to comment again and again. Also, all new commenters need to be approved before their comment will appear (spam control!), so if this is your first time doing it with us, be patient. It can take some time for us to get to it and hit “approve.”

UPDATE: To be clear, the winner will be selected randomly. As in, every person who enters gets assigned a number and then we’ll use a random number generator to pick one. (We’ll do our best to remove all duplicate entries.) If that person has followed our rules and is a fan on Facebook, we’ll contact them via the email address provided and will work out how they’d like to receive their tickets (mail or in person.) The winner gets both tickets. Otherwise it would be like winning a blind date to David Sedaris, courtesy of FoBoBlo. Which would just be weird.
