Win Tickets to RISE Party by The Numbered Days

Apr 14, 2013 by Sami

You’re in for a treat when you’re going to an event thrown by the same folks that were crowned one of Chicago’s Best Parties of 2012 by HuffPost. 

I can’t tell you how great it feels to find an organization that accomplishes few of the things I love: Chicago music, giving back and throwing an amazing event that brings people together. 

The Numbered Days have generously provided me with a pair of tickets to give away to a lucky reader. With bands that include Gemini Club, Team Bayside High, and acts by Chicago Dance Crash, you know it’s going to be one of the best Saturdays of your year. Did I mention hosted drinks by Chicago favorite Revolution Brewery and Tito’s Vodka and free rides from UBER to new users? 

Want to score a pair? Enter your email below! It will only be used once, by yours truly, to send you an email whether you’ve won or not. Don’t forget to confirm your email once you sign-up! 

Also, contest ends on April 17, 2013 and when the time on my computer shows 12:01 a.m. CST.

Tokyo in Photos and a mini-contest!

Jun 8, 2011 by Sami

I just got back from another trip to Tokyo and it was even more amazing than the last. I always have such a hard time leaving. I’m in the middle of writing a post about the trip and things that many friends have asked me about. Most importantly, what is it like there now, after the earthquake.  Until then, I thought I would entertain you with a selection of photographs I’ve taken there.  As last time, I brought more sweets and snacks than I need so I decided that I’m sending two surprise packages to two readers of this post. All you have to do is tell me what your favorite photo is and I’ll select, randomly, two people that’ll get some nice (and maybe naughty) Japanese treats.  I’ll cover ground shipping as long as it’s in IL and deadline to participate is Friday, June 10th @ 11:59PM CT. Hope you enjoy them!
