HARKINS THEATRES "THE DARK KNIGHT MARATHON" Tickets Giveaway Contest WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT

This post is for the BAT-BLOG.COM to announce the TWO WINNERS of our recent HARKINS THEATRES "Batman Movie Tickets" Contest to win 2 Sets of Tickets to their DARK KNIGHT MARATHON!! Yes, All of the Harkins Theatres locations are having a major event on July 19th where they are showing all three BATMAN Films in the Christopher Nolan Trilogy in a row on the same night. It's pretty cool! You get to see "2005 Batman Begins" and "2008 The Dark Knight" on the big screen again!! Then, at midnight, it's the premier of "2012 The Dark Knight Rises"!! They were nice enough to offer us a few tickets to give away. So here go!

Last night, July 14th, was the official cut-off time for entries. So, at Midnight we checked our email box to include anyone who applied at the last minute & then added them to the list. Then, I had to cut-up a ton of small identical pieces of paper ( that was fun, ha ha ) and write numbers on them that correspond to the number of entries. Long story short, we mixed them up like crazy and put all these entries in a large box & then mixed them up again. Then, we had our friend Dave reach into the box to pick 1 Winner. After he grabbed that we mixed the box up again, just to be safe ( yeah, we're obsessed with "randomness", ha! ), and had him pick another one. OK, Here are the 2 Winners!!

Frank Laudo of Flower Mound, TX

Matthew Mata of Queen Creek, AZ

Congratulations Frank & Matthew!! You guys are total WINNERS!! We will be contacting you very soon with instructions on how you pick-up your tickets. To everyone else that entered we want to thank you & we're sorry you didn't get lucky this time, maybe next time. But everybody made this a very fun event & we really appreciate that. We also wanna thank Harkins Theatres for being so generous to offer tickets for this great giveaway. They have been totally wonderful to deal with & we appreciate them as well.
