FINE PRINT:
In order to win a "Chat with an EIC," a one-on-one meeting with an editor in chief, you must buy a raffle ticket. Ticket sales will only be accepted by junior-level editors and recent graduates (defined as two years from your undergraduate or graduate school graduation date). Tickets can be purchased at the Ed2010 happy hour at The Crooked Knife between 7 p.m. and 8:29 p.m. Tickets are $3 at the event. No one person can buy more than 10 tickets to each raffle. On each ticket, you must write your full name, job title (if not employed, say "unemployed") and email address. Winners will be drawn at random at the Ed2010 Happy Hour at The Crooked Knife on November 14th at 8:30 p.m. Tickets will also be sold online for $4 each. Online tickets will be incorporated into tickets sold at the event; on the Pay Pal form you MUST include your current job title to prove that you are a junior editor and/or your graduation date from college. Tickets that are incomplete and job title or graduation date is not indicated will NOT be entered into the raffle. Tickets will be sold online until 6 p.m. on the day of the event. You do not have to be present to win; we will contact you via your email address. If you do not respond within 7 days to the e-mail announcing that you won, another winner will be drawn at random in your place. Ed2010 will send out an introductory e-mail to you and the EIC, and exchange contact information, but will not make scheduling arrangements—that is the winner's responsibility. Meetings are valid for 6 months after winning. In case of unforeseen circumstances, Ed2010 reserves the right to substitute the EIC with whom the winner will meet. (But, seriously, that's not going to happen. David and Denise are on board! We just have to cover our butts.)
