On Saturday, July 17th 2010, I’ll be dressed in grey slacks and a long sleeve white shirt, probably sweating in sweltering heat, at an undisclosed location on Sauvie Island; one of my best friends is getting married. I’ve known the guy since first grade. I don’t think I can get out of it

But my obligation is your gain – I have a pair of tickets I can’t use to the Portland Timbers friendly against Manchester City at Merlo Field on the campus of the University of Portland, on the same day.

Merlo Field is tiny, so as you probably already know, tickets to this match are exclusively available to season ticket holders. Behold, I am a full-season ticket holder, and I possess a pair of Game C tickets. And I want to give these two tickets to you.

The mechanics of this contest are simple:

1. Leave a comment below* before midnight (Portland, Oregon time) on Saturday, June 26th
2. In the comment tell us who your favorite Portland Timbers player is (a player on the roster as of the date you post your comment)
3. On Sunday, June 27th I will randomly draw a name from the pool of commenters who followed the rules above

After the drawing I will deliver the tickets to the winner. (Hopefully at a Timbers match before July 17th, but I will Fedex or mail the tickets if necessary.)

* You do not need to use your real name when you comment, but you must leave a valid email address so that I can contact you if you win. I won’t use the email addresses for anything else. Ever. Also, don’t panic (or re-comment obsessively) if your comment does not appear instantly; the first comment per email address goes into moderation. I will try to approve them in a timely manner.

Good luck!

Some people think of hump day as the middle of the work week. We don’t. Every hump day, PDX.FM wants YOUR humping pictures – and we’re giving away prizes for the best ones.

Check back every Wednesday for the contest of the week, submit your humping photos on the submissions page, and listen to PDX.FM to see if you’ve won.

Peace, love, and humping.

Tune in to PDX.fm Wednesdays at 8:45am to find out the theme or special instructions for the week’s contest, then submit your photos (but read the rules first, which are essentially: keep the images under 2MB, keep it in your pants, keep it in Portland, and no kids!). Winners get prizes and/or their photos posted on PDXHumpDay.com for posterity and ridicule. Visit the site now for some example photos featuring The Meat Show‘s Emily Gibson in a variety of pseudo-scandalous ersatz trysts.

Do you have the Portland Pinball Map App for your iPhone yet? If you live in Portland and play pinball you need this app – it’s slick!

Over 340 pinball machines in over 170 locations in the Portland area (including Vancouver, Washington) are covered.

You can search for machines by location, proximity, or name.

Only interested in places that have four or more machines? Wondering where new machines have shown up recently? The Portland Pinball Map iPhone App can show you.

How would you like a free copy of the app? (Sure, it only costs 99 cents at iTunes, but free is free!)

Well thanks to the ladies of iPhoneSlutz, Dave Knows Portland has 10 iTunes codes to give away, each good for a free copy of the Portland Pinball Map App!

iPhoneSlutz is comprised of three chicks that just love their iPhones and want to share what they think of them. Local PDX.FM hosts, Sabrina Miller, Emily Gibson, and Rose Harding bring you some crazy reviews of some awesome (and not so awesome) iPhone apps, they tell it to you straight with no BS. iPhoneSlutz just recently had the number one iPhone related audio podcast on iTunes and has a global audience, particularly popular in a few European countries and in Australia.

The show airs live on PDX.FM every Wednesday at 3pm and is then archived and available for free download shortly thereafter at the website iPhoneslutz.com, or through iTunes.

(It’s probably best to warn you that the show may not be considered safe for work, or for sheltered children – wear headphones! And another warning: listeners have been known to fall off of treadmills due to laughter, and several listeners have peed their pants – no joke, the gals are funny!)

And lucky for me and you, the iPhoneSlutz heart Dave Knows Portland and wanted to give a little back to the Portland iPhone and pinball communities. Comment on this post. Win some codes. Play pinball. Be happy.

First 10 commenters will receive a free code! (Make sure to enter a valid email address in the appropriate field when you comment, so we can contact you with the code – don’t worry, your address will not be used for anything else.)
