Do you live near New York City? Are you free Monday, December 5th? Do you want to go to the premiere of King Kong?
I know for sure that the answer to at least one of those questions is
yes. But they all have to be yes for you to win one of five pairs of
tickets I have for this once in a lifetime event. That’s right, five
lucky readers (and five of their friends) will have the chance to see
the movie at the massive premiere alongside the cast and Peter Jackson.
Who says CHUD isn’t great?
If you want to win this you have to be 18 or above, live in New York,
New Jersey or Connecticut, and be able to make it to the premiere on
time. Don’t enter this if you don’t think you can make it to the
premiere at 6PM (and you should be able to get there even earlier to
pick up your tickets). You can enter once per day. Winners will be
selected and contacted on December 1st.
I am making this easy for my tri-state Chewers. Just email me (devin@chud.com, subject MUST be KONG PREMIERE. Any variations will be deleted) with the following info:
Your name
Your age
Your address
Your phone number
Your email address (I need this IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL)
So what are you waiting for? Get cracking!

Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held after which the prize
will remain unawarded. Unclaimed prizes will not be awarded. Use of any
automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in
disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an

that such account holder must still meet the eligibility requirements
for the Sweepstakes. The authorized account holder shall be the
natural person to whom the applicable email address has been assigned
by the Internet access provider, service provider, or other online
organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain
associated with the submitted e-mail address. A potential winner may
be requested to provide the Sponsor with proof that the potential
winner is the authorized account holder of the e-mail address
associated with the winning entry. If a dispute cannot be resolved to
Sponsor’s satisfaction, the entry will be deemed ineligible.
