After our initial blog post calling for 140 character pitches as to why YOU should win two $800 tickets to IxDA, we were swamped with dozens of entries and we’ve finally narrowed down the crop to the winners (as we see it.)  There were many great submissions, but ultimately had to make a choice and we tried to reward those who flexed their right brain muscles.

First of all, we were THRILLED with all the enthusiasm. Thank you, thank you to everyone who participated. You guys rock and we’re psyched we got to interact a little with you! After all, isn’t that the point?

Second of all, drumroll, please…!!!

Winners (Full pass to entire conference, ~ $800 value)

Winner #1: Ben Sykes

Winner #2: Eric Berkman

“Dear

CONTEST: Win one of two FREE $800 tickets to this weekend’s #IxDA conference in #Savannah (in 140 characters or less)!

Everybody loves a contest. I know I do. So, on this sleepy Monday, we’re going to give you the opportunity to stretch your (right) brain for a chance to win two free tickets to this weekend’s IxDA conference.

What is IxDA, you ask? Each year, the interaction design community gathers to stretch their minds, sharpen their skills and inspire each other. Hosted by the Interaction Design Association (IxDA), Interaction 10 is the third annual conference series that has quickly become one of the can’t-miss events of the year in the user experience world (check out the impressive list of sponsors…from Microsoft to Adobe to Mozilla to GE to Dell.)

For Interaction 10, IxDA is returning to Savannah to build a conference like no other. (Pre-conference workshops begin this Thursday, February 4th, with the conference opening on Saturday.)

Registration will set you back $749, but only here can you pay your way with words – 140 characters or less, to be exact — to tell us why YOU should attend (and make it interesting).

All Walks of Life’s Theater Program presents a hip hop-themed adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

AWOL’s theater program, known as Act Up, will celebrate its fifth year with its annual production, titled Choices: The Romeo and Juliet Story - a modern adaption of the great tragedy themed play by William Shakespeare. The show will be presented February 4-6, 2010 at the Lucas Theater. There will be one daytime show - on Feb. 4 at 10am - presented to students of schools from around the region, and two nighttime shows - on Feb. 5-6 at 8pm - open to the general public.

The cost of the evening shows will be $5 for kids under age 5 and $20 for adults. The daytime shows, which will be open to schools only (advance reservations are required), will be $3 per student.

This years show not only focuses on Shakespeare, which is a part of the Georgia Education Standards, it also has an overarching goal of attempting to encourage youth to make better “Choices” in life through the various themes of Shakespeare’s written work such as love, family values, and consequences. The themes running through the play will address the issues and
consequences spawned by the choices made by the two immature lovers, teaching young people that blind passion, hatred and prejudice
between these two families leads to unhappiness death. This complements AWOL’s mission of violence prevention and positive youth development.
