my vocabulary is too small

Social experiment contest again.

I have one extra ticket to go see Atmosphere on Monday, July 27 at Webster Hall. Doors open at 7:00PM. Write an interesting story about yourself, or something to convince me to bring you, and I’ll pick the best one over the weekend to come with me.

I’m a comedian/writer by night, looking for some random experiences. I have done this contest before, when I had an extra ticket to see the Ting Tings (some of you might have even participated in that contest). The contest was actually quite a success, and I got some interesting anecdotes, shitty jokes, and random-ass spew of emails. I thought it was quite Post-Secret-esque and am going to continue doing this. If you think something like this is completely weird in a bad way, we probably wouldn’t have fun anyway. If you think this is strange, though still slightly entertaining, then give it a shot. It’s a cool excuse to meet interesting people. Convince me.

This contest will go on for two weeks. I will make a decision Friday, July 24, and contact you then. This way you have early enough notice to know if you can go on July 27, the following Monday. If you send a late submission, and it’s REEEEALLLY good, it might work.

Now, get writing!

FAQ
What can I write that’s good enough to get your attention?
Funny isn’t always the best answer. Think about it this way: I have yet to receive a story that is a moving drama. You never know. True stories are always good, doesn’t have to be made up.

How do I know you aren’t the Craiglist killer?
Yeah, that fucker is a buzzkill, especially for cool New Yorkers who have always done some interesting takes on meeting people online. Basically, here’s how we’ll do our best to make sure we aren’t freaks (Hey, for all I know, YOU could be the Craigslist killer). We’d be meeting in completely public places. I’d meet you at Webster Hall. There will be no “coming back to my place for a creepy massage and then I hack you with a machete” going on.

I am already your friend and know you. Can I win?
No.
