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!

    This transplant from New York needs those tickets so I can finally prove once and for all - via photographic evidence - to my fellow New Yorkers that their town is NOT a beer town, Philly is indeed, and that they better take heed.

    I really want to take my dad for his birthday! He's a big ass beer buff but has never been to a festival; this would mean the world to him. Daddy-daughter debauchery at it's finest.

    I have a small ass but beer will make it bigger.

    A little late but I figured I'd try anyways:

    -I just moved from sunny FL to cold, murderous Killadelphia (20 murders, 15 days) and am in DIRE need of a drunken rampage, as I fear my alcohol tolerance is quickly diminishing (since I don't get to go out every night of the week anymore), and my small internship stipend barely covers my train pass.

    pity me: my wonderful boyfriend doesn't drink at ALL (not a sip of booze), so I will take my best gal friend to drink many big ass beers!

    I'm a national volunteer with AmeriCorps, and while I like serving my fellow man, I also enjoy drinking beer; incidentally, there is an implicit incongruency because I'm living on "welfare" and unable to afford the beverage I love to drink.

    Because I'm a broke law student with no job prospects who, therefore, needs a beer more than anyone else.

    Nothing better than getting day drunk on high-ABV brews.
