We got a lot of response to our giveaway offer for two free VIP tickets to the Houston Press fourth annual Artopia party at Winter Street Studios on January 28.

And the person picked randomly from all our entrants is Mary B. The tickets get her into the private VIP area (less competition for drinks and a better chance to sit down) as well as all the performances at the celebration of all things arty and the people who are so inclined.

Besides the performances and the art on display on Saturday, we’ll present checks and plaques to the 2012 winners of our MasterMind Awards competition and we’d appreciate it if you’d come out to cheer on these folks. Oh and there’s food and all sorts of drink as well.

And don’t forget, our MasterMind winners for 2012 will be featured in this week’s copy of the Houston Press. Don’t miss it.
