Mortified Two Year Anniversary + Win Tickets: November 20 & 21
November 17, 2009 — PDXPIPELINEMortified is back for their two year anniversary and we have a pair of tickets for each night to giveaway. This show is always packed/sold out, meaning buying pre-sale is a great idea.
In order to win tickets, just comment on this post on why you'd like to attend the show (and which day!). We will draw winners on Friday morning and email you.
Reminder: We give out free tickets every week to our Portland Facebook Group including to many of the top music and art venues in Portland. Join it if you like free stuff.

I need to win tickets because I’ve never gotten to go and really wanted to. Please?
November 17, 2009 at 14:58
Hey-
I’d love to wallow in other people’s miserable embarrassment for a change.

Oh man! I would love to go to this. Some friends of mine went last year and I missed out, they said it was fantastic!
I would be down to go either day.
Thanks!
November 17, 2009 at 15:00
I’d like to win tickets because I still take my teen angst very seriously, and write long tortured prose about it, constantly updating my LiveJournal with this introspective monologue. Hopefully Mortified can give me the more comedic perspective I so desperately need.
November 17, 2009 at 15:00
I’d love to go on the 20th, because who doesn’t love cringing in a room full of cringing strangers?
November 17, 2009 at 15:05
I’d love to go on Saturday night!! I missed this show last time and would really love to go, I’ve heard ‘Mortified’ on the radio and think it would be awesome to see in person..
November 17, 2009 at 15:07
Want! Free! Tickets! Mortified is awesome.
November 17, 2009 at 15:24
i’d love to win tickets because i do stand-up comedy at open mics all the time, and it would be beautiful to see people on stage trying to be honest instead of trying to be funny for a change. plus someday lounge is great.
friday is the day for me. thanks!
November 17, 2009 at 15:32
I want to go! Pick me!
November 17, 2009 at 16:17
I’ve heard all the great stories about this show, I’d love to go on the 21st!
November 17, 2009 at 16:51
I frequently, albeit unintentionally, embarrass myself. Yes, I’m “that girl”. I would definitely appreciate being the laugher instead of the laughee, even once. Either day would be great!
November 17, 2009 at 17:03
I want to go because I was just reading the fanzine I wrote in high school, and I’m finding it hard to believe anything could be more embarrassing than that.
Either day would work, with Saturday preferable.
November 17, 2009 at 17:35
I’d love tickets for Saturday. I saw the first Mortified show and would love to go again.
November 17, 2009 at 17:55
I went last year and had a blast, laughing so hard I almost peed my pants. I would love to take my boyfriend and hear more hilariously relatable stories! (Friday preferred!)
November 18, 2009 at 09:37
My boyfriend, who’s read some of my teenage poetry, suggested that I might want to do a reading of my own someday at Mortified. I’d like to see what it’s all about and how scary it might (or might not) be to share personal stories in front of a crowd. We’d love to go on Saturday night.
November 19, 2009 at 10:05
I’d love to go because I’m hoping it would make all my angsty teenage prose and poetry less embarrassing. I’d take either day!
November 19, 2009 at 10:21
Also, I could attend either day, but would prefer Friday. Saturdays are for moping.
November 19, 2009 at 11:58
True story: I grew up in a small college town where the only coffee shop eventually came to be called Sweet Eugene’s Sexist House of Loud Java and Embarrassing Displays of Self-Expression. Well, at least by me. And in order to hang out at the only coffee house, I endured MANY embarrassing displays of self-expression.
How is it that now, years later, I kinda miss it?
Free tickets, please!
November 19, 2009 at 14:30
I’d like to attend Mortified for a night of giggles and by proxy redemption courtesy of PDX Pipeline. Bring it!

Would really love to go and appreciate all the real-life humor! Nothing makes me feel more connected to my fellow human being than laughing over a shared humilliating experience.
November 19, 2009 at 20:42
I have always wished to see this show! i was a very confused kid and think my own journal might make the cut but would t]like to see what others have to offer!! at any rate i would truly love to see this show!!! Saturday night would be perfect.
November 19, 2009 at 22:37
This sounds so fun! I would love to hear someone else’s mortifying stories and angsty prose as i have plenty of my own! I could go either night.
November 19, 2009 at 23:24
I NEED to go to this. My girlfriend just broke up with me and send a picture of my most intimate of areas to all of our mutual friends and a sad face emoticon below it. I think it implied that my junk made her sad.
I need catharsis! Both nights!
November 20, 2009 at 06:26
The show reminds me of the “F* My Life” Website which causes me great belly laughs as I find humor in others misfortunes. I would love Nov 21 tix please
November 20, 2009 at 07:53
I woke up this morning and saw you guys are offering Mortified tickets and I was thrilled until I realized I am too tired to come up with a witty comment to convince you why I deserve these tickets more than the others who have already made me laugh with their comments. The sad face under the picture of the guy’s junk ….if that’s true, he may need them more than me. However, I would love to go on Saturday!! I am financially challenged and LOVE Mortified shows! Thank you for your consideration.
November 20, 2009 at 07:53
It would be an awesome change to see someone have fun with their teen-age memories.
November 20, 2009 at 08:11
A friend of mine from high school is visiting this weekend. This would be the perfect place to reminisce and commiserate over how awkward we were. We’d love to go on the 21st.
November 20, 2009 at 08:15
I would looooooooove tickets to Mortified. I had a funeral this week for my uncle and could really use a pick=up.
Thank you and I hope you choose me!!!!!!!!!!

I’m too mortified to tell of my own teenage angst story, and living vicariously seems to work well for me in this situation.
Please oh please pick me.
November 20, 2009 at 08:20
Just like in junior high, I’m not good at following instructions. Either day works for me. Cheers!
November 20, 2009 at 08:44
I really wanted to see this show but online, they’re SOLD OUT! So please pick me, either night would work, Saturday is preferrable.
November 20, 2009 at 08:56
I’d like to go because I LOVE Mortified and am a major recruiter for getting people to go but was sadly unable to get tickets do to an unusually hectic schedule last week.
November 20, 2009 at 09:13
Saturday, please!
November 20, 2009 at 09:14
Because teen angst is funny, of course! I’d like to go Saturday.
November 20, 2009 at 09:31
I’ve always wanted to go, but have never made it there :-(
I’d love to go on Friday!
November 20, 2009 at 09:40
this is such a rad show. i went a couple years ago and laughed my *** off. would really really like to go either fri or sat!!
November 20, 2009 at 09:47
My sister loves this show! I would love to give her these tickets, because she lost her job, and I’m sure she can’t afford to buy them (even if it wasn’t sold out). Friday would be a great night for a show!
November 20, 2009 at 09:52
Pick me!! Finally have a date night with my husband (kid is at a sleep over) and this would be a perfect way to spend the evening together. Sure would make us feel better about our lives :)
Friday night PLEASE!!
November 20, 2009 at 09:55
i’d love to start off my weekend tonight by being MORTIFIED!!! :)
November 20, 2009 at 10:15
I would be anything but mortified to win tix to this tonight!
November 20, 2009 at 10:15
I recently found my journal from middle school – well, to be more accurate, my fiance found it. Talk about mortified! I can’t even think about him reading it to me…I cringe inside. It would be amazing to know for sure that I’m not alone…I would love to go Saturday night!
November 20, 2009 at 10:40
I am a poor med student who needs a laugh. I’ll trade free medical care…
Saturday would be rad!
*love and flu shots*
November 20, 2009 at 11:17
I’d love to go on Nov 21. I am a middle school teacher and teen life is filled with moments of mortification for kids in this age group. I think it could inspire me to do something like this in my classroom.
November 20, 2009 at 11:24
I want to see whats in the show. Who knows you might be giving tickets to next year’s star. Going might even save me a therapy session. Either night works.
November 20, 2009 at 12:09
I have a friend in town & would love to take her! Either night is AWESOME!
