Winner of FREE Van Halen Concert tickets

OK, friends, as promised we would post the results of the winning entry in our promotion to give away a pair of FREE tickets to Van Halen’s performance next week at Amway Center. Of those who entered (boo…we got no fun photos or videos!) we utilized Random.org to…well, randomly select, and the winner is Karlajane! Congratulations! She is the 11th comment in the comments field (obviously if myself or Kim would’ve come up in the results we would’ve drawn again).



If you’re Karlajane or know this individual, please contact us by noon this Friday (4/6) for instructions on how to redeem your tickets. If we do not hear from you by this time, we’ll select another winner.

Thanks to all who participated! Hopefully we’ll have another awesome promotion like this again in the near future.

FREE Tickets to See Van Halen at Amway Center

Van Halen is Coming!

You can win tickets to see Van Halen for free at Amway Center Next Month!

Seriously. We’re not kidding. We’re giving away a pair of tickets to see Van Halen (yeah, you know ‘em) live in concert at Amway Center on April 12th.

No catch*. You don’t even have to be a California Girl (see what we did there?).

To enter, simply leave us a comment here in this post about why you’d like to win the free tickets. Leaving a comment does not ensure a win. Those leaving a comment will be included in a random drawing.

Increase your winning chance! If you’re a die-hard Van Halen fan and want to increase your chance of winning, make a video of yourself jumping 80′s style, or take a picture of yourself jumping (or just submit an old one). We’ll post it on the blog for all of our readers to see. Submitting a video or photo to pulseofcentralflorida@mail.com will give you two entries into the random drawing. Perhaps this will give you a little inspiration?

 

Tweeting is not required nor does it increase your chance of winning. However, if you chose to Tweet about this contest please include the hashtag #VHNA2012.

Contest runs through 6pm (EST) on April 3rd, and winners will be announced by 6pm the following day. Good luck! Additional details about the Van Halen tour are available here.

*OK, tiny catch. Only open to U.S. residents. Also, we have no input as to where the seating is located.

Madonna CD Release Party at VAiN Nightclub

Say what you will but I’m an unapologetic Madonna fan. Have been for well over 20 years and probably will be until one of us expires (it’ll likely be me first). She’s got a new CD coming out next week, and Orlando nightclub VAiN is having a CD release party this coming Monday night. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it…and yes, I’m bummed. Should be fun.

Deets on the event can be found in the flyer below:


If you’re a fan you should check-it-out and let us know how the event is.

Event location details:

VAin Nightclub
22 South Magnolia Avenue
Orlando, FL 32801

The Lemonheads at Velvet Sessions

February’s Velvet Sessions at the Hard Rock Hotel is none other than The Lemonheads. I’ve been a huge fan of the band since they broke onto the music scene in the mid-90s. Yes, that means I was listening to them back when I was in high school.

Needless to say I was pretty stoked when I saw an e-mail come my way about the February 23rd show.

One of the interesting things about this particular Velvet Sessions, is The Lemonheads are going to perform each track from their cult classic “It’s A Shame About Ray” from start to finish. Suh-weet!

This is one of the album’s more well-known tracks:

 

As you know tickets are $29 in advance online, and $35 at the door. There are also VIP packages available for $50 (includes special viewing area and private bar). For additional details and to purchase tickets visit VelvetSessions.com.

Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras Lineup

Universal Orlando Resort‘s annual Mardi Gras talent line-up was recent announced for 2012, and this year certainly boasts an impressive list of performers: Kelly Clarkson, Diana Ross, Jill Scott, The B-52s, Cyndi Lauper and more. Here’s a peek:



Personally, I’m really looking forward to seeing Kelly Clarkson (the best American Idol winner, in my opinion) as well as Cyndi Lauper (you know we’re big fans)! Are you excited to see any of these concerts this year?

Here’s hoping Miss Clarkson will perform her latest single:



The first date Saturday, February 11th. More information and the complete line-up of artists can be found on Universal Orlando’s website.
