Favoriting contest: Bob Saget at HOB
November 19, 2009
This one's going to have to be a quickie: Bob Saget is bringing his stand-up show to House of Blues Saturday. If you only like him via his stint on Full House, you might be a bit shocked -- he's one of the funniest blue comedians I've seen. (Very blue.)
Thanks to our friends and advertisers at HOB, we've got three pair of tickets to give away. Go to the show page here on PegNews and click "Add to favorites" to enter. (Requires free / easy / painless registration and login.) We'll draw winners by noon tomorrow and you'll have to respond by 2:30 at the latest to get on the guestlist.

So this:
...becomes this:
Easy as pie. Note that this only works with YouTube for now. If you want to geek out with any of the other myriad video providers, you'll have to become verified. (Otherwise, we'd have to do individual programming for every new provider.)
