Contest: Share Your Most Epic Pittsburgh Memory to Win a Copy of Moon Pittsburgh!
Boring Pittsburgh has teamed up with writer Dan Eldridge to give you a chance to win a free copy of his latest edition of Moon Pittsburgh.
How can I enter this contest?
Just leave a detailed comment below with your most epic Pittsburgh memory.
It was Dan’s idea:
Since your site is called Boring Pittsburgh, and since there’s obviously a bit of intended irony in the title, why don’t we ask readers to submit their
least boringmost epic Pittsburgh memory…
Uh, I don’t understand
For example, the drummer from the Pittsburgh band 1,2,3 was asked about his favorite Pittsburgh memory in a recent interview… his answer would have been perfect for this contest:
I think my favorite memory is when the Steelers won the superbowl against the Seahawks, and everyone just stormed the streets. It was wild, people were throwing trash cans through store fronts; i saw a car flipped over and on FIRE out in front of the cathedral in Oakland. The funniest thing i saw that night was these kids who were just blocking off a side street, and had a beer bong, and wouldnt let cars pass unless they bonged a beer. So this middle aged dude with his wife and kids drive by, and they try and get him to bong one, and he says no, so they keep egging him on, til finally he goes “aw, f*ck it” and then just bongs a beer, right there with his little kids in the backseat. Epic Pittsburgh moment, indeed.
How will yinz pick the winner?
There will be three winners total:
- Dan’s favorite comment wins
- Boring Pittsburgh’s favorite comment wins
- To keep it fair, one completely random comment wins
(note: you can only win once)
But all of my memories of Pittsburgh are boring!
That’s another reason why we’re also picking a winner at random, duh.
What exactly do the winners win?
Each winner will receive one free autographed copy of Moon Pittsburgh (2nd edition). Winners will receive their book via snail mail.
How much time do I have to think of an unboring memory?
The contest will end in one week at 11:59pm on Friday, September 9, 2011.
FUN Pittsburgh is here!!!
APRIL FOOLS!
