My girlfriend came back from watching the Twilight movie yesterday and asked why I could not be more like Edward. I do not know what that means but I was hoping this would do the trick.
Wow, I'd love the two tickets.
It would solve the "what-to-get-the-person-who-has-everything" problem.
Oooh, I would love to go to this event(I'm crossing my fingers)!
I would love some tickets! Love your blog! Hope I win!

Top Five Reasons Why I Should Be Awarded Repeal Day Ball Tickets:
5) I know the difference between your/you're, they're/there/their, and other such homonyms. I'll never leave a grammatically incorrect comment on your blog!
4) I've never watched a single episode of "American Idol"! I'm not a follower, so I belong at an event that celebrates a once socially unacceptable substance...I'm not a follower!
3) I was one of the youngest people ever licensed as a bartender in NYC, age 18! So, alcohol and I go way back...we're BFFs practically!
2) I'm not opposed to wearing swag or even a sandwich board to advertise your blog, Amanda...Humiliation: It's a Good Thing!
1) I managed to write this whole post without using LOL or a :)! Oh wait...damn!
So, in conclusion, please pick this witty, funny chica to attend something oh so DC where I can get lit..um, err, I mean, enjoy some lovely drinks?
This sounds awesome! :)
Thanks for holding this contest! My great-grandfather, a bootlegger, would have been so proud!

me me me me me me me me me!
this is the day after my fiance and i get back from visiting my parents in chicago. we're taking the train, which is a roughly 17 hour trip. after five days with my parents, i'll owe her a drink, or two, or two hundred. this event coincides our two year anniversary, so i think there might be enough alcohol available to make it up to her for being a trooper. also, maybe i'll be able to find someone there who can teach me how to pronounce sazerac correctly, so i can really knock her socks off.
Yes, please. Thanks for your consideration.
sounds great!
I'm in for one!
sounds like the social event of the year! hope I win!
Sounds delightful, but sadly far out of my price range :(

I really hope I can win the tickets!
Every day is repeal day!
So I'm wondering: what will be your selection criteria? Will you just pick at random, or is it more based on merit? To be safe, I should start out by saying I love reading your blog and your tweets. But what next? Should I tell you how winning these tickets would allow me to brighten the day of a friend who just lost his mom? Or something witty and cute, rhyming rye with nigh and Negroni with bologna? Maybe I should do it in true DC style, working in the names of the area bartenders I know and giving a nod to my favorite obscure cocktail, the Lucien Gaudin. No, I know - ALL CAPS! No one can resist the passion and urgency of the caps lock key....
PLEASE PLEASE PICK ME! PS7 IS MY VERY FAVORITE BAR AND I WOULD LOVE TO DANCE ON PROHIBITION'S GRAVE WITH A CROWD OF LIKE MINDED REVELERS! PICK MEEEEEEE!
Yup - nailed it.
Last year was so fun...but this year is so expensive! Pick me please!!!!
That's my birthday weekend :)
I remember hearing stories from last year, hope I win!
Swankyness + Craft Cocktails + Meeting Dake DeGroff + FREE tickets = :)
I wish I had made it last year so I could have had a Frnech 75. But the 76th anniversary of the repeal is good enough for me!
I'll throw my name in ... great blog, btw.
Thank you for holding this contest! Great looking whoopie pies too.
Ooh, pick me, pick me!
