Prizes: Time Out New York comes through!

Big news on the prize front: As many of you know, I am a duly-employed editor on the staff of Time Out New York, by far the single most useful magazine I've ever worked for (though I did once editor for a publication that printed a comprehensive guide to beer funneling). Over the years, I've intermittently discussed bringing TONY into the BQT sponsorship fold, and after a useful meeting this week, it looks like the magazine is on board on an intermittent basis. I labor for a noble cause!

TONY has its promo fingers in a whole bunch of pies, so this is a coup for us. And for our next show (April 5), we got a juicy piece of pie (this is sounding dirtier than necessary): Two passes to the movie (or movies) of your choice at any Clearview Cinemas location (three in Manhattan; check the website). I hear that Hurt Locker is quite the raucous adventure.

In the future, we're looking to score plenty more goodies, including TONY subscriptions. Meanwhile, keep reading the magazine—I get more than of few of my trivial ideas from its pages, so valuable insight is guaranteed.
