Twitter followers please enter your user name below.  In the past, some have had issues entering their user names, if you do, just tweet me and ask to be entered in the contest.  On Saturday at 10:00 p.m. I'll enter all your names at Random.org, a winner will be picked and I'll notify the winner.  Since this is a time sensitive contest, the winner will have 20 minutes to send me their e-mail address.  If I the winner doesn't contact me in 20 minutes, I'll move to the next person on the list until a winner is found.  Before you enter, please make sure you can follow these rules:

1. Please make sure you and your guest both actually intend on attending.  If there are any issues after you win the tickets, please contact me so I can give the tickets to someone else.
2.  The premiere is taking place at the smaller Chinese 6 Theatres multiplex upstairs.  These tickets don't guarantee entry, so it's very important the winner and their guest arrive early.  I'd recommend arriving around 1:00 or 2:00 p.m.  If you're the first people there, there's plenty of things to do at the Hollywood & Highland Center to kill time till people start lining up.  If you're planning on arriving at 4:00 p.m., I'd almost guarantee you won't make it in.
3. Since this is a premiere, you're asked to dress to impress.  I'd recommend business casual.
