So it’s only about a week away, before Seattle‘s CITY ARTS FEST 2011 swarms in with it’s myriad of performances, exhibits, and events to overtake the better part of the city and it’s various venues (see our preview here).   Maybe you’ll go check some stuff out.  Maybe you won’t.  Maybe you’ve gone back and forth on the idea, over the last few weeks, but are still undecided.  Maybe you’d like to go, but maybe you can’t afford to or… just maybe, it would be financially irresponsible for you to spend money on any sort of leisure activity right now.  How about some free tickets?  Would you go then?  Would you like that?  Would that cheer you up pal?

Look, we’re not insensitive to the issues of this fickle economy/job market or by the even more consistent frustrations regularly generated by the man keeping you down.  Who hasn’t gotten something stuck in their eye during an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition?  Don’t think that I’ve completely forgotten that episode of The Torkelsons where Dorothy Jane can’t go to the dance because they’re too poor, so her mom gets her that salvation army dress that has the stain on it and covers it up with a bow for her, only to have that pompous bitch call her out in front of everyone for wearing the old dress that she donated.  I’m not big on admitting that I have human feelings, but even metamorphic cybernetic organisms from the future crack when you freeze them with liquid nitrogen.  Times is tough folks.  Stakes is high.  Don’t worry, we gotcha like Anthony Edwards with a paintball gun.

The organizers from CITY ARTS FEST have offered us a pair of tickets to 4 different performances.  That means that we have 4 different giveaways for you fools to win. (more…)
