Macworld Expo is just two weeks away, and our Cirque du Mac party helps kick things off on the evening of Thursday, January 27th. We’ll have the Macworld All-Star Band play, of course, plus lots of other fun stuff that we have in store for those in attendance. Hosted by The Mac Obsever and BackBeat Media, Cirque du Mac 8.0 is sponsored by:

Of course, it’s invite-only, but over the next week we’ll be giving away 10 pairs of tickets for you, the readers that make what we do here at TMO possible. To enter to win you simply have to do two things (ok, well, maybe three). First, make sure you “Like” TMO over on FaceBook. Then come back here and post in the comments about why you want tickets to Cirque. Your post can be as simple as, “hey, I wanna party with you,” or it can be more creative (and you know how we just love haikus). You need to be sure you’re registered and logged in — don’t post your comment as a guest otherwise we won’t be able to contact you if you win! We’ll be announcing winners by Friday the 21st, and no earlier than Wednesday the 19th.
So get to it, eh?

Friendlier forums.
You NEED to have some international people at this party!! Aussie (short for Australian) here up for grabs.
God you are boring brad.
Haikus are 5-7-5, Ratty. Not just “6”. Notice that I didn’t try to ruin their party by nominating RonMacGuy.

I would love to come and meet some of the developers. I have met one or two at Evernote events, and think it would be cool to see them in a larger scope event.

Me and my wife are coming from Ohio to go to MacWorld. I was lucky enough to go to Cirque Du Mac last year and it was a blast. Just want my wife to see how great it is. And she says that she will dance all night!

Here’s my tweet regarding Cirque du Mac “@Scobleizer Ah ok. well enjoy Davos. I’m sure though the band at #macworld2011 will be better. #cirquedumacrocks!”
@Scobleizer Ah ok. well enjoy Davos. I’m sure though the band at #macworld2011 will be better. #cirquedumacrocks!
Just came back from CES and partied my tail off and I want to keep the party train going at MacWorld. Not to mention, I’ve recently purchased a Drobo FS for personal use and my start-up purchased one as well, so we’re Drobo lovers!
I’d love to be invited to this after-party because my project Hips For Hire is all about visual and performance art, raising money for charitable organizations, and coaching artists to start artful small businesses. I love performance art of all kinds!
OK. Can’t write a haiku worth a dang, but my first computer was an Apple IIc and this is my first chance to go to Macworld. I’d love to celebrate the event!
Ok, its not haiku?.
Paul, Dave, Chris, Bryan, Bob, Duane and Chuck
Rocking fun at Cirque Du Mac
An invite would be good luck!

Classic Rock music and great guys in the band whom I’ve known for some time now including the bassist I’ve known for over 20 years. This is one rocking time I won’t want to miss!
I’m making my return to MacWorld after a 3 year absence! The last event that I attended was Cirque du Mac. Well, my feet were swollen and voice was thrashed after that party, so why not try it again!!!
I hope you pick me for the free tix. I’m packing my dancing shoes, just in case.
All—we do still have a pair or two of tickets to give away, so all hope is not lost.
That said, please *do* make sure you “like” TMO on FaceBook in addition to posting in the comments here. Rules are, after all… rules!
I’m a newbie to MacWorld but heard YOU throw the best party! Would love to attend!
Already “liked” you,
So excited not too late,
Ready to party!
There’s always room for one more at the party!
Let me be the one so we all can have fun!

if you can’t make it two, one is ok. but dammit i know imma end-up sleeping with a stranger. or the enemy. (what an imagination…)

Never heard from Dave,
But got a ticket elsewhere,
Danced nonstop—great drums!
