Win DRAKE Tickets Friday!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 by The Professor

Ok, so Drake didn’t make it here for the Fall Concert. It’s cool, we solved that. How about a pair of tickets to see Drake, K-OS and Francis & The Lights down at Pier Six, May 5th FOR FREE? If you missed his performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards where he stole the stage from Lil Wayne and Eminem, then you might not get the big picture just yet. But maybe you caught that he broke the Billboard Hot 100 with 2 songs in the top 10 in the same week? Did you know that Drake was playing at Pier Six? Rich the DJ will have your tickets to win during his live broadcast in front of Boulder Gardens on Friday this week. Be there between 11a-1p to get your FREE Ritas and see if you can read the furthest in the Dr. Suess classic Fox In Socks to win your tickets.

We have our winner: Caitlin Stein! But what a great bunch of competitors. No one thought that this would get to a page 32 TIE! During the tiebreaker Caitlin pulled out the big win. Take that Tweetle Beetles!

This is a five course served dinner that seeks to promote community between students and faculty/staff/administrators. The tickets are $30 and can be purchased at Boulder, Surf’n Joe’s, or Newman C-Store. OR LISTEN IN TO Rich the DJ tonight from 5-7pm, and he’ll be giving them away!
