Win tickets to Monster Jam
Because once in a while, you just want to crush something.
Update: The drawing is closed. The winner's been notified! Thanks for entering!
We spend most of our time trying to make things, but every once in a while -- as long as nobody gets hurt -- we get the urge to watch something get crushed. That's where monster trucks come in.
This weekend (Friday and Saturday nights) The Monster Jam comes to the T.U. center. Giant trucks will drive over cars and other stuff and crunch them. If that's not enough, there's going to be a fire-breathing metal dinosaur. And we've got four tickets for the Friday show to give away. Come on -- you know you want to go. The winner will also get a program and a sweet set of noise canceling monster truck headphones.
To enter, answer the question below in the comment section of this post:
What would you like to crush?
Maybe it's, maybe it's your winter blues, maybe it's the weight loss plan, maybe it's the competition. Be creative. But please, be nice --no personal attacks. Of course, you'd never do that.
We'll pick one winner at random.
Important: All comments must be submitted by 10 am on Thursday (January 19, 2012) to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly -- seriously, if you win, we want to give you the tickets) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by noon on Thursday and must respond by 9 am Friday (January 20).
