Giveaway: Win $100 Worth of Empire Patio Covers
Now that the winter chill is fully upon us, we can’t help but daydream about summer, especially those warm evenings spent outside on the patio. And while we sit inside reminiscing about summer fun, we often forget that our patio furniture is outside braving the winter elements – naked and cold.
Anyone who has ever bought patio furniture knows that it is an expensive investment ($200 or more!). Leaving your patio furniture unprotected – both inside and out – will be sure to cause fading and rust. To maintain your outdoor furniture as long as possible, it is essential to protect it from the elements. Patio furniture covers are a great and inexpensive way to keep your furniture looking new. So, all you patio furniture neglectors out there listen up!
EmpirePatioCovers.com would like to give away $100 worth of free patio covers to one lucky D Magazine reader.
Find out how after the jump. (more…)
Ticket Giveaway: Cystic Fibrosis Concert Series at the Granada
FrontRow has two VIP tickets to Saturday’s benefit concert (featuring Rhett Miller of the Old 97’s, Sarah Jaffe, and The O’s) up for grabs. Enter to win here.
Quick, though, you only have 30 minutes or so before we must randomly select a winner.
Ticket Giveaway: State Fair of Texas
If you’ve been dragging your heels on a visit to the State Fair, well, knock it off. It all ends this weekend, and we’ve got your chance to win four free passes to fried heaven, courtesy of Chevy. All you have to do is click here, and fill out the Wufoo form to win by midnight tonight. We’ll pick a winner on Thursday.
Once you’re at the Fair, consider dropping by Chevrolet Town Square. As I said in this week’s handy guide, they’ve got charging stations for phones—a nice perk. But what’s even better is the chance to pick up a free VIP wristband for FrontRow Live on Nov. 3, which gets you exclusive event access and a cool swag bag. Since you’re joining us that evening anyway, why not? You can track down the wristbands at the Cruze and Sonic Launch Pad.
Update: Since these are physical tickets, winners should plan to drop by our office to claim their tickets.
Ticket Giveaway: Fun Fun Fun Fest
Want to go to Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin next month? Maybe with a buddy? We’ve got a pair of festival passes burning a hole in our collective pocket. That’s three full days of music. Check out the line up here.
All you have to do is follow FrontRow on Twitter (@D_FrontRow) and retweet our #FunFunFunFest ticket giveaway tweet. So easy. We’ll pick a winner Monday. Good luck, and happy weekend.
Tell Us About Your Vacation, Win a Stay-cation at the Gaylord Texan Resort
Look at that picture right there. Now look out the window (if you’re lucky enough to be seated near one). Where would you rather be?
Let me answer that for you: you’d rather be on that beach in Nicaragua. Yes, that Nicaragua. In other words, you’d rather be on vacation. I don’t have facts to back this up, but I’ve found that American workers spend between 86 and 92 percent of each work day planning for their next vacation.
D Magazine wants to help. We’re soon going to launch a new travel page of our website that will let readers swap vacation stories and photos, as well as learn from the travel experiences of our editors. We’re calling it Qwikster the D Travel Club.
Before we launch, we want to hear from you. And we’re offering the chance to win a two-night stay at the Gaylord Texan resort in return. Just click through to this form, tell us all about your last great vacation, share some photos, and you’re entered to win.
You must enter by October 30 to be eligible to win.
Ticket Giveaway: Topdog/Underdog at Jubilee Theatre
By now, you should all be familiar with the place that I have affectionately referred to as FrontRow Giveawayland on many separate occasions. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we offer you free tickets to something, usually a music show or a theatrical performance. Occasionally, some of these tickets are for stuff that’s sold out, or shows that are a little on the expensive side. Sometimes it’s a brand new guitar.
Anyway, today’s giveaway is a pair of tickets to Topdog/Underdog at the Jubilee Theatre in Fort Worth. I haven’t had a chance to see this play yet, but it’s worth the drive for the writing alone. Suzan-Lori Parks is brilliant, and she won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for this one. Go. Enter, now that the 3 p.m. entry deadline has been extended. Winning is fun, and losing doesn’t kill you. Usually.
Ticket Giveaway: Plano Balloon Festival
Hot air balloons are pretty to look at, but I have about zero intention of hopping in some wicker basket that’s just ready to strand me in Oz. I’m also deathly afraid of heights. Which is why the Plano Balloon Festival is great— there are plenty of opportunities to see the balloons go up, and no pressure to go for a ride what with all the fun stuff going on on the ground.
Interested in attending, perhaps with kiddos in tow? We have tickets to give away. The first five (5) people to enter will each win four (4) tickets. Click here. Pronto.
Once you’re hanging out at the festival, feel free to stop by the D Family booth, grab a complimentary copy of our special family-oriented issue, and register to win an excellent holiday “staycation” at the Gaylord Texan. The potential for free awesome stuff abounds.
Giveaway: A Nice Gorilla Vs. Bear Fest/Granada Theater Prize Pack
If you have not already made plans to go to the very excellent Gorilla vs. Bear Fest at the Granada Theater on Saturday, please rectify that immediately. The debut of Preteen Zenith, Tim DeLaughter from Tripping Daisy/Polyphonic Spree’s new band! White Denim, the makers of D, maybe my favorite album this year! Shabazz Palaces! Dreamed! Lots of other things I would totally put an exclamation point after!
I’ll be there. I’m the guy with the beard. No, not that one. Or that one. Yes, there I am. Hello. Anyway. The good folks at the Granada have made available a special prize pack to attendees. The details are after the jump.
How Honest Are You?
Thanks to Sarah Blaskovich at Pegasus News for this little piece about Honest Tea. Tomorrow, the promoters behind the tea will be putting it out there for you to try. For a dollar. But no one will be there to take your dollar. So it’s up to you to pay. But there will be cameras tracking whether or not you pay. And there will be a live feed from these cameras. So we’ll know exactly who isn’t paying. Consider this a warning when you come across the tea tomorrow somewhere downtown. (Also, you can go here and vote for the city you think will be most honest. Last year, Bostonites won the title.)
UPDATE: Here’s a link to the live feed.
Win Tickets to the Dallas Women’s Expo with Wynonna Judd
The Ultimate Dallas Women’s Expo is setting up shop downtown for a weekend of all the things us ladies are supposed to love: shopping, spa time, make up, and home décor. Okay, so you might not love all those things. But if you’re into any one of them, why not check it out for free?
We’re giving away 50 “girlfriend packs” which equates to two VIP entry (no lines, no waiting) tickets. One for you, one for a friend. Enter here by 3pm.
Ticket Giveaway: National Geographic Live! with Casey Anderson
Casey Anderson, host of the National Geographic series Expedition Wild, has done it all: traveled to elephant orphanages in Kenya, hung out with crocodiles, and gotten thrashed by a mountain lion. Almost ten years ago, he rescued a baby grizzly from euthanasia at an overpopulated wildlife preserve, named him Brutus, and promptly built him a new home. The bond between man and 800 pound bear is so strong that Brutus was Anderson’s best man at his wedding. Adorable.
Anderson will be at the Winspear tomorrow night to talk turkey (er, grizzly), and we’ve got four pairs of tickets to give away. Go here to enter, and we’ll draw the lucky winners at 4 pm today.
Free Tickets to Granada’s Girls Night Out-Marina and the Diamonds Show
Boys/men/dudes, the name of this evening’s entertainment is slightly misleading. You can come too! Enter to win a pair of tickets to tonight’s Marina and the Diamonds performance.
Obviously, I like her a lot.
Win Tickets to See Josh Groban, Who is Better at Life Than You
Seriously. But if the thought of attending his May 16 concert at the AAC doesn’t turn you into a raging green-eyed monster, head over to FrontRow giveawayland for the chance to snag a free pair of tickets. You have exactly two hours and four minutes left to enter.
Who Wants to See House of Pain?
One of my oldest friends is a cat named Darius Holbert. We met on the bus to DISD’s Alex W. Spence Talented and Gifted Academy — a school that also produced Tim Rogers and Robert Wilonsky — and then went on to graduate from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.
Darius is doing far more with his gifts and talents these days than me, Tim, or Robert. The dude’s making a living as a musician in Los Angeles. His current gig is playing with the reunited House of Pain of “Jump Around” fame. Go to the 4:20 mark — heh heh — of this video to see him absolutely abuse his keyboard.
If you’d like to see more of this, House of Pain is playing the South Side Music Hall tonight. The first 10 people to e-mail me at editor@peoplenewspapers.com get a free pair of tickets.
Win Free Tickets to Dividing the Estate
FrontRow is giving away a pair of tickets to tomorrow night’s performance of Horton Foote’s Dividing the Estate at the Wyly Theater. M. Lance Lusk raved about it, and I liked it too.
Click here to enter until 3pm.
