Kelly DavenportMy life in T-shirts: Ask Me About My Cat - Legalize Frostitution - Death Before Decaf. You get the idea. I enjoy lint-rolling, bons mots, magazine launch parties (if I was invited), paying too much for groceries, and the occasional semicolon. I'm a copy editor at The News Tribune, but I won't correct your grammar at the bar. Contact me at kelly.davenport@thenewstribune.com.
Laura Gentry...lives in Seattle (so you don’t have to) with her cat Peanut Zeta-Jones. The self-proclaimed “Webmeister” of TheNewsTribune.com, Laura spends her spare time driving on I-5, sifting through estate sales, writing songs about Miss Zeta-Jones and wishing she was somewhere else regardless of where she is. You can reach her at laura.gentry@thenewstribune.com, but it’s in your best interest not to.
Niki Sullivan...is a political reporter for The News Tribune. She likes sunshine, soup and puppies. Beyond that, it gets dicey. Contact Niki at niki.sullivan@thenewstribune.com.
Brian Everstine ...has a debilitating fear of children, horses, sauerkraut and mustaches, but an irrational affection for generic cereal. A recent college graduate (WSU) from Spokane, he is a news reporter for The News Tribune who is still adjusting to life on this side of the mountains. Contact Brian at brian.everstine@thenewstribune.com.

1) Submit the 253rd comment on this blog post and win.
2) You can post as often as you like.
3) You can only post every 30 seconds due to spam settings (sorry, that's annoying and something I can't change).

5) "Inappropriate" or "ineligible" comments will not be considered as valid entries.
6) We're giving you until Monday at 5 p.m. to get to 253 comments. If it takes you that long, we will feel deeply disappointed in you. I mean, I Drove All Night to get you these tickets!
7) If turnout is dismal and we don't even get 253 comments OR if the person who submitted the winning comment cannot be reached or is not eligible to win, tickets will go to the person who came closest to that number without going over.
8) For more info and a link to the "official rules," click here.
