A whole lot of stuff comes into the inbox in the lead up to the Super Bowl. I learned that lesson two years ago. Some I respond to, most I do not. Here's one I did agree to participate in though hoping that one of you locals would win tickets to the big game. I know the vast majority of you aren't from Pittsburgh, or at least aren't living or working within the actual city limits. But still, there's quite a few of you out there and hopefully one of you winds up the winner. If so, first few beers are on me down in Dallas!
THE STEELERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL! WHICH MEANS… EVERYONE IN PITTSBURGH THIS WEEKEND WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN TICKETS

Unsolicited tip from c'est moi: Don't sweat finding him too hard tomorrow. Notice how the promotion runs through Sunday? You can count on the clues being totally impossible at first, then gradually becoming easier on the weekend. Just a guess. But just sayin', if you're unable to get into town until Saturday, I'd say the contest will still be going on for sure.
