On October 19th, I am going to Cleveland, let me give you a hint why…
Yes. It’s like every wet dream I had in the 80’s is coming true!
Duran Duran is coming to Cleveland and I am going with my bestie Meredith, but wait……. YOU CAN, TOO!
Because Duran Duran is fucking bad ass, they gave me TWO EXTRA tickets to giveaway to a reader who wants to go sing and dance their hearts out with me in Cleveland at the Playhouse Square Theatre.
Warning: I will be wearing a T shirt with some sort of pun on the name Le Bon, and probably singing embarrassingly loud. Be excited.
So, if you live near Cleveland and want to dance in the sand (or beer spilled linoleum flooring, whatevs) to Duran Duran on Wednesday October 19th, 2011, all you have to do is leave me a comment.
This contest runs today only, ending tonight, October 1st, 12am EST. You can enter as often as you like by leaving a comment with a valid email address. Upon confirmation of winning, tickets will be awarded.
My tickets, as well as those for this giveaway, are courtesy Duran Social.
UPDATE: Congrats to the winner, Jim Kukral!

Oh, I wish I lived closer… Duran Duran, sticky floors and getting to meet and party with you, what could be better?
OMG I WANT TO GO!!!!
I was so surpised when my 62 year-old dad bought tickets for he and my mom to go. I would love to go as well!
Sign me up, bitches! Today is my anniversary so I should totally win!
Oh, I want to see the wild boys! All I want is… to see Duran Duran! Hells yeah!

Well, hell yes.

This is awesome! Its my parents 25th anniversary today and this would be perfect for them! I WANT THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was ridiculously in love with John Taylor for an amazing number of years… my first concert was duran duran in 1980-something. Oh, to see them again……

Me! Me! Me! Me!!!!!!
12a EST sept 30 deadline, didn’t that already pass? Or do you mean 12a October 1?
OH YES. Ok am fixing. Thanks for helping me with calendars.
I have never once wished I lived in Cleveland before but I would LOVE to see this with you and Meredith, and I’ve even seen Duran Duran in concert before (yes, it’s awesome… obviously).
HAVE TONS OF FUN!
me, me, me… I would love them
CLEVELAND!! I will totally wear a shirt with a Lebron pun too.
Her name is Rio and she….finish this line. :-)
“Dances on the sand…”
Only imagine this sung very, very badly…
M
I’m no where near Cleveland but there are planes and I will get on one if it means getting to party with you and Duran Duran. Omg…how fun would that be!
OMG you guys are going to have SO MUCH FUN! They were amazing here in L.A. I wish I could come to Cleveland and dance with you! Look for me on the video screens (at our L.A. Show it was during Rio encore) I am the leopard :) Talk about a wet dream…being IN the show right behind Simon-you can see some pics on my facebook) Yes I can paint more than circles and triangles ;)
Oh please please please! I would love to take my sister! She would be so excited, she is a huuugggeee fan:)
Live really close to Cleveland….thanks for the contest!
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!! I love Duran Duran… I can not even begin to tell you the number of wedding fantasies I had that include Simon Le Bon!! Winning these tickets would TOTALLY be a teenaged dream come true!!! (High school sucked for me… I totally deserve this!! )

Best giveaway of all time.
Yes, please!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOHHHH! Pick me, pick me!!! My very first concert was Duran Duran in Cleveland, so this would be like coming full-circle. Only this time, I won’t have to smuggle my drinks in or snuggle up to random college kids.
Also, you can totally wear whatever LeBron tshirt you want. I’ll wear my “Magnolia Thunder Pussy” shirt, so we can piss off just about everybody around us. Win-Win!
Although, now that I think of it, snuggling up to some college boys sounds kinda fun. Just don’t tell my husband.
Listen, hookers, I am the 80’s. That was totally my heyday! When will I ever get another chance to see Duran Duran?! Plus, Meredith lives by me and we can carpool ;-)
Ohhhh, pick me! Pick me! I’m having social~emotional issues lately! I f-ing hate being 40-something! My girl posse and I have resorted to out of town discos and egging peoples houses…seriously! That’s how starved for FUN we are!!!! The husbands suck, the teenage kids suck, work sucks…tired of dealing with everyone else’s problems! Hey, girls just want to have fun!!!! I think this concert would be just what the Dr. ordered!!!! I’m sooo hungry like the wolf!!!!
Can you believe that October 19th is my 15th wedding anniversary??? I’d love to surprise my hubby with tix…. it certainly would be an anniversary to remember! Thanks for the opportunity, -Jenny
So, is it a coincidence that DD’s song “Girl Panic” just came across my iPod? I think not.
Sounds like a good time. I’d love to win. I don’t dance or sing well but can and do often at concerts as long as the alcohol is flowing. Pick me and I’ll be there with bells on (wearing a whore top)!
SHUT UP!!! I have had a boner for Duran Duran since I was 9 years old!!! Duran Duran was and still IS my favorite. I have ALL of their albums…..and I’m still pretty obsessed with Simon LeBon. I still have all of my shirts, buttons and posters from back in the day. My walls used to be plastered with BOP and Tiger Beat posters! Yes, I am still a hardcore Duranie. (….did I really just say that?) For the love of GOD, you MUST pick me!!! I’ll make sure it’s a memorable night for all of us!
Please please pick me. I need to spend time with someone I can sing with. My husband doesn’t like it and my girls get embarrassed. And more importantly I love love love Duran Duran!! John Taylor was my fav.
My wife at http://www.momgoesgreen.com is the biggest DD fan in the world. Pick her! She will rock it out with you, believe me!
“Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh yes I’m Hungry Like The Wolf!!!”
As long as I’m not the only one singing badly…

My sister has loved these people since Planet Earth with the romantic shirt videos.. I have spent all of my teenaged years having it played time and again whenever she was in the house… She STILL loves them and finally got to a concert a few years ago… Her heart was broken when she couldn’t get tickets in Montreal to their small venue concert this year…
Help me mend her poor Duranie little heart…
M
Please… I can still hear her begging when I called her with your tweet…
Don’t make the newly 40 woman beg… it’s hard enough to be 40!
M
Who’s Duran-Duran.
Ha. Just Kidding.
My older sister used to listen to them during her blue eye-shadow days.
Not in the Cleveland area…but in the Toledo area and would LOVE to go!
Me? Me? Pretty please? Sadly I never got to see them in the 80s. I *did* see Adam Ant and INXS first US tour…so I might have had my fill of 80s awesome, but I’d LOVE to win and hang with you!!! :D
OMG!!! Please pick me!!
She’s still begging… can you hear her? Short of drooling all over JT (which I think was her fav) she’ll be singing and dancing to every song…
I think she sings better than me… I think.
M
I can hear her repeating over and over again..
“Please! Please! Please!!! Pick me!! Pick Me!! Pick Meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
I’d love to win these for her!
M
Would it be horrible of me to plead and beg for these tickets?? Oh well, I shall beg and plead… pick me, pick me:)
They are fucking great live. I’ve seen them 3 times. The last time I saw them, my sister and I found out where they were staying and I actully got to drink a beer with Roger. On our way out John and Simon were walking in and I asked him if I could buy him a drink. He looked directly at me and said yes. I about died right there in that hotel lobby. Alas, the bar was closed, so I did not get to buy him that drink. *sigh* That man has aged well. Have so much fun at the show!!!
I can drive to Cleveland from England right? But actually this is perversely perfect… I am taking an absurdly expensive last minute flight home due to a funeral and a BF’s divorce… So yeah I need this… Super cool chicks I love (I swear I don’t stalk you) and an 80s band I adore??? Grabby hands
So the way I see it is I can be the driver. I am not too proud to be the designated driver. I live in Sylvania so it’s easy to get your drunk ass home. Seriously.
I like her, B!
Pretty please?
I know no Duran tales BUT I did watch a movie (my sister made me) as it had referenced Duran Duran in it. Was about people who planned a bank robbery thru the Duran fan site. It actually was a very funny movie.
M
Last plea before I go to bed – pretty please?
