Want POPPED! tix?

POSTED: Wednesday, September 14, 2011, 2:00 PM

Filed Under: Contests | Food and Music | Food Events

We here at CP have been talking a lot about next week's highly anticipated POPPED! lately — we're official media partners for the music and food fest, and lent a hand in curating the sure-to-be-dope Food Bazaar. (See Critical Mass for daily coverage of all the POPPED! acts.)

To prove that we're not all talk and no walk, we've got pairs of tix for both days — that's two for Friday and two for Saturday — that we want to give away. Entering to win is easy: Simply write ONE SENTENCE about why you deserve this sweet prize and leave it as a comment on this post before 2 p.m. tomorrow, Sept. 15. Make sure you register with an email address that you check frequently, as that's how we'll alert the winner.

Good luck and happy sentencing! We'll see you at the show. Somewhat relatedly, here is a picture of POPPED! artist Kreayshawn eating a popsicle:

UPDATE [16sept11]: I gotta say, guys — I'm a little disappointed in the sentence selection for this contest! You have to know that "I love food and music" is not going to win you these tix, right? You gotta bring it a little, say something creative, outlandish, funny, scandalous, something that stands out! That's why Meal Ticket commenter gme928 wins with this gem: "These shows make me feel like a disco angel in a rainbow heaven." You'll be flapping your rhinestone-studded wings all over both days of POPPED!, sir/madam. Congratulations!

I'm running out of time to wear cute dresses outside and I'm a fan of both Rakim and Mates of State. Oh, and food is my raison d'etre. Kind of.

Deserving of tix b/c I as much as I love an outdoor music festival in Philly, I love having Capogiro, the Farm Fresh Food Truck, Royal Tavern & Cantina Dos Segundos at a music fest even more.

I really want to try ?uestlove's buttermilk chicken, and, after driving all the way to NY to see Mates of State this summer, their show was canceled.

Because despite their ages, FDR Park's and Rakim's flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth.

I'm too broke to buy a ticket, but I may or may not have multiple nervous breakdowns if I'm not watching The Shins perform in Philly for one of just 4 tour dates.

Honestly, i don't think i (or anyone) can top "i like turtles" I tried, but could not. However, I am okay with second place.

This would be my first concert/festival ever and it would convince my parents into letting me ride the Do Good Bus with Foster The People to promote good.
