Congratulations NANCY!

I will e-mail you with all of the details and I will see you at the show!

To see where Duran Duran is playing closest to you check out their tour schedule.

Disclosure: I am working with Duran Duran. These tickets were provided by them but all of the words and opinions are mine.

I have very exciting news. I am giving away a pair of tickets to the Duran Duran show at Constitution Hall on October 16th, 2011.

Thanks to Erin, I had the opportunity to see them live back in March and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. I even got to touch (shake hands, but whatever) hands with both John and Roger Taylor. It was transcendent. I’d have a picture of Erin and me with John Taylor, but whoever I handed my camera to was inept.

*shakes first toward the heavens*

Duran Duran was so awesome that I am going to see them again. And yes, I am leaving my husband home with the children on my wedding anniversary to see Duran Duran. He has been very understanding about my Duran Duran obsession.

But back yo YOU winning the tickets.

If you live anywhere near Washington D.C. or you have the means to travel here I am going to make this really easy for you. Just leave a comment, preferably complimenting the Fab Five, on this post. You can also tell me your favorite Duran Duran song or about any other time you got to see them live.  I will have my children draw a name out of a hat or a bag randomly on October 9th.

You can get extra entries by tweeting me (@goonsquadsarah) with the hashtag #duransocial .

If you live somewhere else check these dates to see if Duran Duran is coming to a city near you.

Each comment is one entry. Please no more than 10 entries per person and make sure I have a way to get in touch with you if you win.

Good luck!

I suppose this goes without saying, but I am working with Duran Duran on this project. The tickets are provided by them and not me personally. That being said, all of these words and opinions are mine.

Plus I posted a picture of Jon Bon Jovi practically naked over there, so what are you waiting for?

I totally used to have this exact poster on my wall.

Alas, I’ve said too much. Go win tickets.

My newest internet search and win obsession is Swagbucks. Go sign up and see if you can win something. It has a better search engine than Blingo.

This is one of those first come first served things so the first reader with the correct answer will receive a copy of Katherine Center’s new novel Everyone Is Beautiful. Remember? I have two of them.

So here is the deal – the first person who correctly guesses what I am reading based on these photographs wins the book. Leave a comment with the title and author.

On your marks, get set, GO!

Clue #1:

Clue #2

Clue #3 (the blurry is on purpose to distract you)

Clue #4

Now have at it.

Me neither, until just now.

I think I was supposed to announce a winner back in September. That clearly didn’t go as planned, but I remembered today.

I remembered after getting 26 unique hits for “vagina picture”.

You see, last year Ali won the contest (the gist was to come up with a term that generated the most traffic) with “Homer Simpson vagina tattoo”.

And this year – Ali won again when she suggested “Ash and Dawn from Pokemon naked.”

Apparently this woman is tapped in to internet perverts everywhere. That is Dawn and Ash over there. People really want to see them naked?

Congratulations Ali Martel from Cheaper Than Therapy!

She has won a $25 gift certificate to Build-Bear Workshop.

And I suck at contests.*

* Not that this will stop me from having more contests. In fact, there is a good chance I will be giving away something super cool soon. Stay tuned.

Then I promptly forgot about it.

Oops.

So let’s pretend that didn’t happen and I just said – the winner will be announced on September 15th.

This contest will be open until August.

Yuck.

Speaking of perverts and weirdos I am running my third annual Traffic Experiment Contest and it turns out that my readers haven’t gotten any more normal than they were last year. Or possibly you are just dying to get your hands on that Build-a-Bear gift certificate.

Let’s see what we have so far:

Kathi D is going with Busty Russian Lola Chicken butts.

Marilyn picked crenshaw melon tomboy boob suck. (Whatever that means)

This contest will be open until August.

If you have played along in the past you know that all you have to do is come up with the search term that generates the most traffic in a six week period.

Last year Ali won with “Homer Simpson Vagina Tattoo”.

No, I’m not kidding.

So hook me up. Pick one phrase that you think people will be looking for. I don’t care how whacked out it is. Leave your phrase, or word, or sentence in the comments.

And this time I have a prize. The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Build-a-Bear. You can hook yourself up with a Tropical Hello Kitty.

As I’ve done in the past I will be posting updates with your phrase, a link to you (if applicable) and who is winning at the time.

The winner will be announced on August 1st (ish).

Good luck.
