So, remember how ten months a go we were giving away tickets to an open bar/premiere party of HBO’s new comedy series “Flight of The Conchords”?
Which then resulted in our most commented EVER photo set of all time?
Good times.
Well, fast forward to 2008 and Conchords are so big their May 9th double bill at Lisner sold out in under 10 minutes this morning.
BUT-fear not!
DC’s premiere ticket giving away operation (aka “us”) has a pair of tickets to the 10 pm show.
Just for you
For nothing.
I won’t lie….its a pretty sweet deal.
I mean, having these tickets may even warrant expecting your date to have sex with you on the first night you hang out, that’s how awesomely sweet this deal is.
So, you want them.
Others do too.
And this is how we’re gonna kick it:
Going back to last year’s giveaway, we’re gonna do a same photo caption deal again:
So, all you have to do in order to win is to come up with a caption for this photo:
Post it in the comments section below, and be sure to include a valid email (not displayed) so I can contact you if you’re a winner.
Which we will do by this time next week.
Uh oh. My “emo sense” is tingling.

April 11, 2008 at 5:30 pm(in a quivering whisper) I feel that something bad is going to happen… but I just can’t put my finger on it.

April 11, 2008 at 9:17 pm“I just wish that at some point in my life somebody smacked me upside the head and told me what a commitment full sleeve tattoos would be.”
April 11, 2008 at 9:41 pmBlake hired a “photographer’s assistant” whose sole function is to remind him that art is pain and pain is art.
April 11, 2008 at 10:00 pmFeng WHAT? Just smile for the camera, love, and tell your assistant to leave my aura alone.

April 13, 2008 at 7:35 amJim’s decision to enter the world of pro-wrestling came as something of a surprise to his hipster friends.
April 13, 2008 at 10:19 amThey shouldn’t have asked the midget Cut Co. salesman to stay for a drink or two…
April 13, 2008 at 4:44 pmI don’t care what David Bowie says, it’s NOT okay to put a wig on me while I’m sleeping!

April 16, 2008 at 10:58 amFTW!!!!
April 16, 2008 at 12:07 pmLOL! dan’s “hold still” quote has double meaning: the photographer could be telling his off-camera model to “hold still” for a picture, while the dude with the deck chair could be saying “hold still” to the photographer, like maybe there’s a bee on his back and he’s about to take care of it. of course, he could just be saying it ‘cos he’s about to wipe that poor guy out. LOVE IT. Bonus points for creativity and brevity!
April 16, 2008 at 3:22 pmfoux de fa THIS, cameraman…
April 16, 2008 at 3:27 pmDoug clearly told Tyler that if he hummed “Photograph” by Weezer one more time, he was going to get the chair. We weren’t sure exactly what that meant until now.

April 17, 2008 at 9:44 amTheodore had warned Francis on multiple occasions that unsolicited diatribes on the superiority of analog technologies versus their modern digital counterparts would result in some blunt-force trauma courtesy of polyvinyl chloride. That was before Francis found the old 35mm camera on craigslist. Witnesses report that his last words were, “what the hell is a megapixel, anyway.”

April 17, 2008 at 12:36 pmLittle did Larry know that the pain he was about to inflict on Devon would be no match for the never-ending ache that comes with the search to capture Truth in a photograph.

April 20, 2008 at 9:34 amAs an artist, Remy was best known for his “Calm Before the Storm” print series, where he captured his subjects with a look that can only be described as impending doom. His assistant Than helped to make these moments happen.
