Free Shit Win two tickets to WonderGlo
Posted by Wyatt Williams on Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 9:00 AM
- Mick Rock, Windish Agency
- Bradford Cox of Atlas Sound
Creative Loafing managed to snag two tickets to the WonderGlo gala to give away to our beloved readers. Don't think we're going to let go of them easy, though. These tickets run $250 a piece and get you a seat at the table for a collaborative dinner from James Beard nominee Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene, Top Chef star Kevin Gillespie of Woodfire Grill, Joe Truex of Watershed, and others. We hear dinner is going to be served on tables designed and built by Justin Rabideau sitting on a dining floor that has been laid with grass.
Then, there are the performances by Atlas Sound, gloATL, DJ Vikki Powell, Fahamu Pecou, The Atlanta Opera, and others. Artwork by Jason Kofke, Gyun Hur, Lonnie Holley, and others. Then there are things I'm forgetting to mention right now and also the things that I don't even know about. The point being, these tickets get you into quite the party.
Here's how to win: In my feature about the this week, I talked about the difficulty of describing WonderGlo. Take a picture that you think somehow "describes" WonderGlo and email it to wyattww@gmail.com or tweet it at me @wyatt_williams with the hashtag #wonderglo. The best photo wins. All entries must be received by 9 am on Thurs., March 22, which gives you about 24 hours from now. Judging is entirely unscientific and based on whim. I'll post the winner and the best runner ups shortly after the contest ends.
Don't have time for these games? Buy your tickets here.
We're also giving away a couple of "second wave" tickets (they don't include dinner) here.

Free Shit / Booze You should totally take advantage of free rides on New Year's Eve
Posted by Gwynedd Stuart on Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 4:14 PM
The Georgia Office of Highway Safety developed an app for iPhone and Android that "allows Georgians to have mobile access to organizations around the state providing free rides home for those who are impaired by alcohol" on New Year's Eve and again on Superbowl Sunday. From the looks of the app, you hit free rides and then your city or region, which connects you with one of the "wide variety" of taxi companies and designated driver services.
Of course, if you don't want to download an app that you can only use on two specific nights or you don't have a phone with app downloading capabilities (I didn't until, like, a couple months ago, so no judgment here), you can go to the GOHS's website and print out/write down the applicable phone numbers.
In Atlanta-proper, it looks like Zingo and Designated Driver Alternative are the free-ride options. Anyone utilized these services in the past? Are they reliable? Timely? Regardless, getting home late is better than getting home dead, I suppose.

Free Shit Make me laugh, win tickets to tonight's Brew HA-HA
Posted by Debbie Michaud on Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 1:47 PM
A. Beer/drinking
B. Laughing
I'll be there to introduce host Jimmy Baron, who'll emcee a chat with author and former "Daily Show" producer David “D.J.” Javerbaum and Shmaltz Brewing Company founder and author Jeremy Cowan. Curt Holman spoke with Javerbaum last week about his new book The Last Testament: A Memoir by God and the author offered an inside look at working with the Almighty:
He’s not very pleasant. He’s like the Old Testament God. He would come over and expect me to work at all hours. I’d be working on a screenplay or a TV pilot, and He’d come in at 3 a.m. and demand that I work. He’s big on divine inspiration, because He IS divine inspiration. I would type at the keyboard while He spoke, or sometimes He’d take over my body and type at the keyboard Himself.
Read CL beer dude Austin L. Ray's interview with Cowan and his new memoir Craft Beer Bar Mitvah here.
That's the Ha Ha part. For the Brew, there'll be a He'Brew Kosher craft beer tasting. Fun starts at 7:30 p.m.
Now back to the original reason for this post: FREE TICKETS. I got two pairs, all you have to do is make me laugh. The two commenters with the best jokes by 4 p.m. get the goods.
