Want Big Ass Beer Fest tix?

Got our hands on a pair of tickets to this weekend's Big Ass Beer Fest, which'll bring together 50+ high-ABV beers (think imperial, think barleywines, think doubletriplequadruple IPAs) this Saturday at Starlight Ballroom (460 N. Ninth St.). You want? All you need to do: Between right now and noon tomorrow, January 17, leave a ONE-SENTENCE COMMENT on this post convincing us why we should give these tix to you. We'll select our fave response and toss the tix — $45 in advance, $55 day-of — your way. Best of luck.

UPDATE [3:45 p.m.]: Congrats to Meal Ticket commenter emilyk, who pulls the tix with this response: "Desperately chasing BrewDog Sink the Bismarck dragon, stuck in agonizing black hole of ABV-quest-fruitlessness — please send help ASAP (aka two tickets to this weekend's Big Ass Beer Fest)." You got it chief. Happy dragon-chasing!

    My wife wants to take her older brother who loves beer as a rememberance to there father who passed away a year ago on 1/21 as he was a beer lover and would love to see them together celebrating his life at a beer fest.

    Give the tickets to me because I am a homebrewer and beer enthusiast that got the first post! :)

    Nevermind what I previously posted, give the tickets to mason714, their reason is better and I didn't get the first post after all.

    I'd love to give these tickets to my beer-loving boyfriend as a late Christmas present, because I was a little cheap this year :/ And because we both love you guys at City Paper!

    i'd probably come up with a better/funnier response after an afternoon of high gravity drinking...

    Because I am an urbane, refined gentleman who can appreciate the sort of high-society event whose sophistication and dignity can only be conveyed by the cartoon image of an intoxicated jackass.

    Please choose me because I'm a beer worshiper/collector who is always broke as hell and has never been able to go to one of these shin-digs.

    I am gluten intolerant and haven't had a beer in almost a decade but would break the fast (and ail) for those tickets.
