Giveaway: James Galea at Walton Arts Center

Australian magician James Galea is coming to Walton Arts Center Sept. 16.

This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to the winners, Tiffany and Grace.

Do you like magic?

In addition to being a great pick-up line (How do you think I met my wife?) (Not a true story), “do you like magic” is also a relevant question because we have free tickets to a magic show to give away.

James Galea, the most famous magician in all of Australia, is coming to the Walton Arts Center for a show on Friday, Sept. 16.

Galea is coming off sold-out performances at Hollywood’s legendary Magic Castle and the Flamingo in Las Vegas. He is also known for his “vibrant personality and unique performance style” that “seamlessly fuses comedy and illusion, with off-the-cuff one-liners and unbelievable sleight of hand.”

We’ve got two pair of tickets to give away. Try to win ‘em.

How to enter

James Galea hates rabbits for some reason. Do you hate any animals? Like, I don’t know, War Eagles, Tigers, or Elephants, for example? Leave a comment with the name of the animal you’re not too fond of, and you’re entered. (Bugs count).

What you’ll win

Two randomly selected winners will receive two (2) tickets to James Galea: I Hate Rabbits at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 16 at Walton Arts Center.

A few rules (read ‘em carefully):

  • You may enter this specific contest once.
  • This contest is open to anyone anywhere except Fayetteville Flyer writers, Walton Arts Center employees, and their immediate family members.
  • Contest is open until 12:00 p.m. CST on Friday, Aug. 26
    Make sure you leave a valid e-mail address when filling out the comment form since that’s how we’ll contact you if you’ve won. Once we notify the winners, you’ll have 24 hours to respond via email to claim your prize.
  • You’ll have to provide us with your first and last name (if you win) and then be prepared to show a valid photo ID when picking up your tickets.

Thanks to the Walton Arts Center for sponsoring this contest. For more information about this performance or to purchase tickets, visit waltonartscenter.org.

    I don’t like pigs. This isn’t in regards to our University’s venerable mascot. Rather, I once watched two pigs fighting over a dead carp that I had thrown in their pen and it is an image that will, unfortunately, never leave me.

    I don’t like chickens
    When I was a kid we had a rooster wait on top of or house and attack me as soon as I came out the back door. That stupid rooster lived for seven long years.

    Birds…the kind people keep as pets…I always seem to get bitten!

    Bees. Technically, anything that can fly and sting.

    I am completely terrified of crickets! I make the really nice guy in the office next to me take the crickets outside any time they venture into my office. If I see a cricket in any room I can’t go in there until the cricket is gone. If someone made cricket repellant I would cover myself in it everyday!

    Do vendor sales reps count? If not let’s go with chows.

    Elephants, tigers, game cocks, bears, long horns…….especially Long Horns…….

    I also hate snakes. Hate, hate, hate.

    tigers..especially if they;re from LSU…heh heh

    snakes…i’m from a country where we don’t have snakes…so i’m not particularly afraid of them, i now i’d just freak out when i do meet one…partly excitement and partly what the what…

  14. bc says:

    snakes and rats.

    Mosquitoes. Oh, I know lots of people hate mosquitoes. Millions in Africa alone. I hate mosquitoes because every time I have a “function” or job interview, or a date, a mosquito (Is it the same one? I don’t know!) always seems to bite me on my face. There’s nothing like meeting a potential employer with an eyelid swollen shut! Mosquitoes are evil! Malaria sucks too, I guess… ;-)

    FISH. I love swimming, but I spend most of the time thinking that one of Beaver Lake’s prehistoric catfish is going to swim up and eat me. FIsh are only appropriate on a plate or on a wall.

  17. Blarrrg says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 6:40 pm

    I’m really suspicious of anything with more than 4 legs. Centipedes, for example. What’s up with THAT?!

  18. Cale says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 7:04 pm

    Frogs….. Without a DOUBT!

    I cannot stand chihuahuas… they are so territorial and bitey.

  21. Kelly Pittman says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 7:32 pm

    I hate cats! House cats=creepy!

  22. Alli Condra says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 7:41 pm

    House centipedes. They are terrifyingly fast and when they get away, you are haunted by the possibility of their return. When I lived in Iowa we called them “Steves” for no good reason – “Saw another Steve today” was never a good thing.

  23. Jeremy says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 7:44 pm

    Pandas. They are definitely up to something.

  24. James Rineheart says:

    Goats

  25. James says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 8:18 pm

    Stinging insects…I slid down a slope over the home of some ground-nesting bees once as a child and it’s not a fond memory.

  26. Spencer says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 9:29 pm

    Pandas…they’re deceivingly innocent.

  27. Jesse says:

    A tick is by far the worst animal….ever!

  28. Jeremy says:

    Cats make me cry and take my breath away

  29. Logan says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 9:51 pm

    totally agree with Kelly on this one. Cats and cat people can both go fly a kite.

  30. Jessic K says:
    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 at 9:55 pm

    Mosquitoes and wasps

  31. Tiffany Robertson says:

    snakes…and roaches

  32. LM says:

    I was wondering where the things to do section is so I can find out who is playing at the different bars or drink specials tonight and what events are going on tonight in Fayetteville. The last couple of days I could not find that section . I would appreciate if the Fayetteville Flyer could update for the things to do section.

      @Storm Chasers – We’re still doing that every weekday morning in the Daily Flyer post. Here’s today’s post for ya. It’s still in the same place on the homepage and can be found in the menu under Arts & Events and under Columns & Features.

    Thursday, Aug 25, 2011 at 12:06 pm

    Wasps. They’re always after me!

  38. Grace Harnish says:
    Thursday, Aug 25, 2011 at 12:49 pm

    I hate cats. Mostly because I know that they are smarter than me. I want a pet that knows I’m boss.

  39. Stacey says:
    Friday, Aug 26, 2011 at 8:34 am

    Spiders!

  40. Melissa says:
    Friday, Aug 26, 2011 at 8:53 am

    i’ve got to say wasps, if insects count. i was stung by one a few weeks ago and it was terrible.

  41. Rebecca says:
    Friday, Aug 26, 2011 at 10:43 am

    Ticks
    they creep me out and just thinking about them makes me squirm.
