Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here, with yet another contest for those of you in the Chicago area.

One of my favorite experiences at this year's SXSW Film Festival was seeing THE PROMOTION, starring John C. Reilly, Seann William Scott, Jenna Fischer, Lili Taylor, and Fred Armisen. This damn funny dark comedy comes courtesy of writer-director Steve Conrad (a native Chicagoan), best known for his screenplays for THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS and THE WEATHER MAN.

I've got an extremely limited number of passes (each good for two people) to give away to the Chicago premiere of the film on Tuesday, April 22, which will include a Q&A I'll be conducting after the screening with Steve Conrad and Seann William Scott. If recent giveaways I've done are any indication, you're going to need to get to he theater early if you win. This one is definitely going to be a sold-out event, so if you don't think you can arrive early, do not enter. Winners will be notified of the time and place of the event, but the screening will be in the evening at the location in downtown Chicago.

To win a pass to this event, e-mail me at capone@aintitcoolmail.com; Subject Line: PROMOTION Screening; give me your name and the name of your guest; and a 75-words-or-less description of a time in your life when you got royally screwed at your place of work.

I'm looking for tales of woe here, people. The deadline for the contest is midnight CST TONIGHT (April 17). I'm picking the winners based on who I believe has suffered the most; hopefully this film will be of some comfort to you. For example, I could enter this contest with a story about Harry's bachelor party (I'm still taking medication for that one!). You'll hear back from me soon if you win. Good luck, everyone.

Capone
