Win tix to Brewer's Plate 2011

POSTED: Friday, March 11, 2011, 10:40 AM

Filed Under: Booze | Contests | Food Events

Fair Food's Brewer's Plate, which brings together Philly restaurants and area brewers for what is typically one of the most swoonworthy food events of the entire year, goes down this Sunday, March 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Penn Museum (3260 South St.). Though a handful of VIP tix remain, general admission is sold the eff OUT. Lucky for you, then, that Meal Ticket's got two pairs of GA tix we want to give away!

Here's what you do to win: If you're not already registered to comment on the new-look MT, do so by clicking the "Post a comment" link below. Set yourself up, and then WRITE US ONE SENTENCE ABOUT WHY YOU DESERVE THESE TIX. MAKE IT FUNNY, MAKE IT TOUCHING, MAKE IT SUBVERSIVE, MAKE IT BRIEF! DO THIS BEFORE 3 P.M. TODAY, FRIDAY, MARCH 11. After the deadline, we'll select our two favorite entries. Make sure you register with a legit email address that you actually check so we can contact you if you win.

Good luck!

UPDATE [3:34 p.m.]: Congrats to Meal Ticket commenters Bryanp and kitchenplay for snagging Brewer's Plate tix! Their winning sentences after the jump.

Bryanp: I want these tickets so I place cheap plastic plates on priceless museum artifacts. (It's funny because it's true.)

kitchenplay: I'd like these tickets because I'm going out for the first time with a boy that I like on Sunday night and these tickets will score me major awesome points. (Awwww!)

I'd like these tickets because I'm about to have my second kid and I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to get out of the house again except to buy diapers.

I deserve to win a pair of tickets so that I can cast mean comments and poorly lit cell phone photos of free gourmet food from hard working and successful chefs on my food blog that only my mom reads

I'd like these tickets to prove that gluttony is not a sin but brings you closer to heaven.

I want to be able to drunkenly stalk the tent where lucky VIPs are hobnobbing with celebrities like Drew Lazor.

I deserve these tickets because I gave up meat and alcohol for Lent and I should break my fast in style.

I deserve to win a pair of tickets so I can show my husband, Tivoni, that my post was better than his.

I deserve these tickets because my friend from New York is coming to town this weekend and it's time to show him how much better our food scene is once and for all.

Tomatoes are red
My seasonal depression is blue

I need a cure for my cold and I know that if I eat and drink I'll be merry and that's no lie.

I deserve these tickets because, mainly due to the presence of really effing good beer (surly brewing), i actually considered and applied moving to effing minnesota for grad school, and if i go, i will really miss the food and beer in philly.

I deserve the tickets because this weekend will be a complete S*%t show in the city with the Erin Express and I deserve to drink with people who understand that class does not come in the form of green beer and public urination.
