Contestants had to tell us in five words or less why they deserved the tickets. And the winner of the latest round: Every day i'm in a cube, who lamented: "My 'office' isn't a corner." (Cube-dweller, send your full name to [email protected], so that we can get you on the will-call list. Or come to the office before 5 p.m. tomorrow to pick up your tickets.)
And now we're giving everyone another chance to get out of the office and party at Dish.
We'll be giving away another pair of tickets today, with the same rules: Post the reason you should win in five words or less in the comments section below. (If you entered before, feel free to repost your entry -- or come up with another one.) Deadline for this round: 4 p.m. today, and we'll announce the winner before 5 p.m.
