How to Win a FREE Ticket to TLC, Shaggy, En Vogue, & Sean Kingston This Sunday (transportation included) with Your Favorite Undiscovered Niche Blogger!

Greetings, loyal DOL reader,

Congratulations for clicking upon the opportunity of a lifetime (or at least the weekend) with your friend Ryan "Dozah" Government Last Name! Allow me to fill you in like Craig David, who unfortunately will not be present.

This Sunday, June 11th, 2023 (which happens to be the 13th anniversary of my HS graduation...time is indeed a bitch...we are all gonna die someday, which is why we must LIVE today), Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts, is hosting TLC & Shaggy's Hot Summer Nights Tour. The show starts at 7:00 pm.

As a 90s kid and lover of some sexy R&B, I bought four tickets during the Live Nation $25 sale because I've been on a TLC kick. I wish I scooped up more tix for other shows, but this was my only purchase (although I'd love to go to DMB on Saturday, June 17th, if anybody's interested!!).

Being the awkward 31-year-old that I am, I have countless friends I don't keep in touch with as closely as I'd like (whose fault it may be is determined on a case-by-case basis); My anxiety makes it hard for me to make the first move and I'm worried that I'll end up eating these tickets. I don't wanna Glansburg this show! I admit I could be a better plan-maker and tend to procrastinate. While I wish other people flew by the seat of their pants a little more, I understand why that isn't always easy. It's already Tuesday, and I haven't yet filled a single free ticket. I've put some floaters out to people, but nobody's bit. I will blame the show being on a Sunday more than people not wanting to spend time with me. Not everybody's schedule is as flexible as mine currently is.

With all the momentum I made today at my new desk (nbd, this is my 5th blog of the day), I decided to make a little content out of my situation. I am happy to announce that I'll be holding a contest to give away these other three tickets. Of course, no scrubs will be allowed, but I'm crazy sexy cool with a rando squad of people I fw. Let's have some fun and jam to some great tunes. That's what life is all about. This has the makings of a hot summer night, and I'd hate for you to say, "It Wasn't Me" when asked if you were there for a legendary night.

HOW TO ENTER THE DOL HOT SUMMER NIGHTS CONTEST:

1. Text me. If you have my phone number, there's a great chance I'd be down for you to come and show a fun night. 
2. If you don't have my cell #, you are still eligible to participate, and it will not affect your odds whatsoever. You can DM me on my Twitter or Instagram (either my DOL or personal account is cool since I'm gonna share this on both) and tell me you want to enter the contest. Going back and liking/commenting on old posts certainly doesn't hurt your chances!​

WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU WIN THE DOL HOT SUMMER NIGHTS CONTEST:

• One (1) FREE TICKET to Hot Summer Nights with ya boi, Ryan "Ole Dozo" Government Last Name.
  • They're actual seats, but I'm thinking lawn is the move. Much easier to partake in concert steroids (which I will be providing, but if you also bring a little something, that's greatly appreciated).
• Free transportation if you drive to my house or live near me.
• Solid tunes to and from the event
  • that being said I am more than open to a contest winner driving if they'd prefer
• Incredible memories
  • great vibes 
• I'm down for us to all bring food/drinks and tailgate or stop somewhere on the way
• Minimum of two photo opportunities, with no maximum in sight.
• We can go in late and miss Sean Kingston if you want. I just wanna see En Vogue, Shaggy and TLC.

​Three winners will be drawn at "random" at some point before Saturday, ideally ASAP. I wish you all the best of luck and cannot wait to see this show with you three (if nobody signs up, I'll feel damn unpretty on the inside and out. I may swan dive off the Newport Bridge...we'd hate to see if I'm joking or not...so please sign up!)!
