Thrillest Bar Maddness

This was sent to me from my good friend Caitlin it's called Thrillist Bar Madness. Loosely based on March Madness, this contest asks you to vote for the "Thrillist" sports bars in America. Once you do so you're submitted for a prize sweepstakes. If you're successful in choosing the bars with highest number of votes in each given bracket you move on. Prizes begin at $100 and scale up to the Grand Prize which = $1,500. Very similar to your office basketball pool except you don't have to hound down the sweaty tech guy to collect his bracket.

The United States Tennis Association Open


Ladies and Gentleman I would like to announce that I have tentatively entered 2010 US Open. It appears that I will be playing in the Mid Atlantic Qualifying Rounds set to take place May 17th through May 21 at the College Park Tennis Center in College Park Maryland. Do I know how to play tennis? No. Have I hit a tennis ball in the past ten years? No. Do I even know how to properly score a tennis match? Absolutely not. Should be a good one. More information can be found here http://www.usopen.org/USOpen/Home/National_Playoffs/Mid_Atlantic.aspx .

The Michael Strahan Baseball bat Giveaway


Today as I was browsing through some news websites I came across this little gem of a contest. Those that enter will receive a $25 dollar voucher on purchases more than $100, and one lucky winner will win a baseball bat signed by Michael Strahan. Why all of a sudden does Michael Strahan interested in baseball bats? Who knows, may be he uses them to fend off creditors who are attempting to collect alimony payments for his crazy ex-wife.

Year of Contests Is Back Baby.

Well after a brief hiatus the Year of Contests has been officially reinstated. With some new found free time and a freshly discovered desire for new experiences, I have decided to reinstate the Year of Contests. So if any of you out there come across a drawing for clock radio, sweepstakes for palate of army surplus boots, or other games of chance of that nature, please let me know.

HGTV Dreamhome 2010

The Year of Contests has offically begun!!!! Actually it really began two days ago but a vicious hangover prevented me from documenting my first entry. I entered the drawing at the request of my mother and sister who most likely saw the advertisement for HGTV Dreamhome while watching a Lifetime full length feature motion picture, that presumably dealt with a rape or a murder.

Luckily for me, my mother and sister we able to pull themselves away from the gripping tale long enough to inform me of the HGTV Dreamhome 2010 Giveaway. Wow, my first Giveaway. Located between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, the 2010 HGTV Dreamhome sports "360 degree views from the gorgeous hilltop lot, an open kitchen with an entire wall made from mosaic tile, a cozy home theater, adorable child's room, plenty of space for guests, and high ceilings throughout the home."

In addition to a "Dreamhome", the winner of the Giveaway will also receive $500,000 in cold hard Washingtons. Enough to fully appoint your new home, or buy off the local Mexican drug cartel that will be cooking meth and growing pot within miles of your residence.
