Win tix to Brewer's Plate 2011
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!

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.

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 deserve these tickets because I am poor and my palate is in need of a locally sourced rennaisance having been in the dark ages, long suffering through tortuous amounts of heaven hill, george dickel, piels, and poorly crafted hoagies. (Also, I would show my gratitude by buying drinks for drew and crew at the sidecar.)— rascal b. schuylkillian- I deserve the tickets because attending the Brewer's Plate will be my own personal way of showing solidarity with the Libyan people.— benchy
- I need these tickets to prove to the Montreal Cannuck girlfriend that somethings just are: cheesesteaks > poutine, Flyers > Habs, saying water as wooder> anything french, The Roots > Celine Dion, and that there's no beating great beer, eh?— bje55

- food is delicious
and beer...oh, how I love beer
I need these tickets— mike james - I, as an underpaid, over-worked middle school teacher who doesn't have time to eat my lunch much less read or post on blogs obviously do not deserve these tickets, but my husband who makes %150 of my salery and spends most of his day reading about beer and food obviously does.— talhensley

- For the past month, my husband has been nursing me back to health from a freak accident that left one of my hands essentially useless. So while he's trying to get his degree with a full-time job, he also now to do the dishes, make dinner, do laundry and every other mundane daily home task without my help. He deserves these tickets because he deserves a surprise and a break for the night.— Daisy Steiner
- I deserve these tickets because I have a rare disorder in which I must consume good food with beer.— nxk007
- I awoke this morning a half hour before my alarm was to go off to the eerie sensation of having a 3 year old staring down at me; when I went into my 5 year old daughter’s room to fetch our dog, I found that he had pooped all over her carpet, and on the way to the bus stop, the 5 year old cried hysterically not because she was angry with the dog or sympathetic to me for having cleaned up his mess, but because she was not wearing pink today, but as my 3 year old wisely stated,” Sometimes we forget to follow the rules.”— mwhensley1

- 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.— kitchenplay
- 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.— pacobox
- 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.— Delaney
- I deserve the tickets because I can't afford to buy them.— Mjshepherd
- Tomatoes are red
My seasonal depression is blue
If you give me the tix
I can get my fresh veggie/beer fix :-)
