Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:51:50 -0500

Grizzly Bear and the xx are teaming up for a string of co-headlining shows, and we here in the DC area are lucky they’re making their seventh and final stop at Merriweather Post Pavilion. With both bands’ 2012 releases on our various year-end lists, you can guess just how excited we are about this announcement.

We can imagine you’re equally as thrilled, and we have something that will make you even happier: the chance to win a pair of lawn tickets before the show even goes on sale!

To enter, all you have to do is reblog this tumblr post and send us a message with your email address so that we can contact you if win. (Please enter only if you live in the DC/MD/VA area and would be able to attend the show.)

A winner will be randomly chosen this Thursday evening, so make sure you enter soon!

Luck of the draw wasn’t on your side? Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketfly!

And the winner is....

Here’s how this is going to go down. As I said, for each $5 you donate, you get one entry. Prior to 12am PST on 11/14/12 I had received $1,085 in donations (HOLY CRAP). All donations were entered into a google spreadsheet and assigned a number in order of donation. I am happy to share the spreadsheet with anyone who wishes to see it.

I asked a few times for those who donated anonymously to make themselves known if they want to be included in the raffle. Two of those people contacted me, the others have not, thus will not be included. In addition, one donor asked to be removed from the drawing. This leaves 206 entries remaining.

I will use random.org to pick a winner, just as I did last year, and post a screen cap of the selection. This will be a one shot deal with no test runs. Good luck!

And, the winner is:

Jaime Morgan! I’ll contact you arrange the handoff. Congrats!

So... I lied.

I was rummaging through one of the beer fridges Friday night and I made a discovery. I don’t have a bottle of 2010 Dark Lord. I have a bottle of 2009 Dark Lord. So, uhhhh…. DONATE!

Movember 2012!

Here we are, folks! Another November, another Mo. My goal last year was a meager $100. That was quickly blown out of the water in a single donation. I ended up raising close to $1000 for testicular and prostate cancer research.

This year, I want to hit that $1000 mark. Of course, it feels good to donate money to a worthy cause, but what if you got something out of it too? Last year I raffled off a bottle of 2009 Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout.

How ‘bout another round?

Here’s the deal… From Nov. 1-14, make a $5 donation and you are entered to win a bottle of 2010 Dark Lord. $10, two entries, $15, so on and so on. Sound good?

If you have already donated, you’re in. No need to donate again.

So, let’s MO!

an addendum… if you donate anonymously and still want to be in on the raffle, please contact me. i don’t want to leave you out!

another addendum… i’m trying to publicly thank everyone who donates. if you don’t see a public thank you, it’s because i don’t know you! so please, let me know how i can contact you in case you win!

another addendum! i realize some folks may not be in the lower 48. I REALLY REALLY can’t afford to ship alcohol overseas or outside the lower 48. If you are outside the lower 48, have donated, and want to withdraw your donation, i completely understand!

~Giveaway~

Ok so I did this giveaway about 2 weeks ago and I picked a winner but for some reason they declined the phone! Weird! So I’m doing it again because I am determined to give it away to someone who wants it :-)

AND THE POST GOT DELETED FOR THE SECOND TIME SO I’M MAKING IT AGAIN TO STOP ALL CONFUSION all notes from the deleted post will still count though!!

i swear i didn’t delete it myself either my tumblr was hacked which is likely because my password is very obvious or tumblr deleted it for some weird reason

The reason I’m doing it is because I got a new iPhone 4s for Christmas and I have no need for this one any more, so I want to give it away so someone else can enjoy it :-)

You could win~

An iPhone 4 (with all the plugs and headphones etc)

A cassette tape style case and also a Keep Calm and Carry On case

Rules~

Reblog as many times as you like (likes don’t count sorry :~[)

You don’t have to follow me but if you did that would be awesome: http://trophic.tumblr.com/

I will pick the winner using a random name generator

I will ship internationally so even if you live on the other side of the world to me I will get it to you somehow!

This giveaway will end on the 10th of February

Good luck! :-)

I swear I’m not lying, if I was I would have given up by now with all the deletings and everything but I’m determined to give this phone away!

It’s 2012 now, the year some are saying the Mayan calendar predicts a cataclysmic upheaval across the board for our planet, perhaps even the end of the world as we know it. I don’t know if these doomsday predictions have any validity, but I do know one thing: the potential candidates in the race…

You guys helped me raise $455 in ONE WEEK! AWESOME!

Here’s how this works. The first donor in the raffle was David Greer. He donated $20, thusly his entries were 1-4. The last entrant was Terri Miller, thusly, 90-91. I’m using www.random.org to choose a random number between 1-91, with the winning number being:

Congrats to:

Devon Kauflin!

I’ll hand off when I get back home.

A VERY sincere thank you to all who donated. It is humbling, and you’re making a difference.

This Mo’s for you!

This is still up for grabs! My new goal is to get another $109 by Tuesday at 2PM EST. Remember, $5 puts you in the game and you get another chance with every $5. Donate for mens health!

Movember Raffle!

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:05:00 -0500

Starting today, November 15 at 2PM EST and ending at the same time one week from today, make a $5 donation to my mustache growing efforts at http://mobro.co/brewner and you will be entered to win a 2010 bottle of Three Floyds Dark Lord Imperial Stout. Yeah, that got your attention, right?

So there it is… Let’s say you get one chance for every $5 you donate. Enter often and much. The winner will be picked at random, and if you are not local, I will ship it to you. (No international entrants, please. Also, lets keep it to the lower 48, mmkay?)

As of right now, my donations are at $210, with an individual goal of $500. Also note, only those who donate to ME will be entered, not to the team (sorry bro’s, get your own donations!).

Edit on 11/17/11… I’ve EXCEEDED my goal, BUT the raffle is still on. Keep donating!
