[RH Contest] Win a pair of tickets to see The Geto Boys in St. Louis on 10/6
The Geto Boys are hitting St. Louis this Sunday, and we have a pair of tickets for a lucky winner to see Willie D, Scarface, and Bushwick Bill get a little rowdy. All you have to do to enter to win is tweet Ruby Hornet with #RHKRGetoBoys added to the tweet. Just remember that the show will be taking place in St. Louis, MO, so if you win the tickets, but have no way of getting to the show, you probably shouldn't have entered in the first place.
Tickets are still available via Knuckle Rumbler, so be sure to get your tickets if you're not confident in your tweeting abilities. Good luck!

[RH Contest] Win a Lions and Reys Blackhawks shirt
(UPDATE: We have our winners! Congratulations go out to @CRichAlchemist and @erioapilado for winning. Please send your shipping info to geoff[at]rubyhornet.com. Thanks again to everybody that entered! Go Hawks!)
The Stanley Cup playoffs have swept Chicago by storm. Much like their historic 2009-2010 Stanley Cup season, the Chicago Blackhawks are back at the forefront of the city's sports with a hard-fought series against the 2010-2011 Stanley Cup champions and fellow Original Six hockey team, the Boston Bruins. With the entire city clad in Blackhawks red, hockey fever has definitely infected both diehard fans and bandwagon fans anticipating another Blackhawks rally.
Some of you might know our new writer Bobby Reys from his amazing clothing line, Lions & Reys. To help celebrate the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup run, Ruby Hornet and Lions and Reys have teamed together to announce a contest to win one a Lions & Reys Blackhawks shirt. If you're interested (and really, why wouldn't you be?), check out the contest information below.
We have two shirts available, 1 S for a lucky lady and 1 XL for a happy homie. Considering how vaunted the actual Stanley Cup is, it's considered an honor to be able to actually touch the cup. Every member of a Stanley Cup team is allowed one day to do whatever they wish with the cup: some drink out of it, others place babies in it for good luck, while most simply relax in awe over the chance to actually possess it. We're asking you to tell us what you would do if you had a day with the cup.
To enter, simply tweet us what you would do using this template: "#BecauseItsTheCup, -blah blah blah-. #HornetsAndReys @rubyhornet http://rbyhrnt.com/15nHwJn" For those that don't use Twitter, you can either leave a comment on this post or on our Facebook post. If you decide to leave us a comment on the site, please include your email address so we can contact you if you win. The funniest and/or most creative entries will win! There are no limits to the number of entries you can have. We'll keep the contest going until Monday (6/24) when the Blackhawks can hopefully close out this series and bring the Stanley Cup home.
Good luck and go Hawks!
