Alexis Wright (left) and Alice Pung (right) both appear at the Bookworm on Saturday.

Here it is: the decisive moment. This is the moment when you will decide whether you will try to win a pair of tickets to both events at the Bookworm International Literary Festival this Saturday (at 5:00 and 7:30, respectively). We won't ask you to ask us any Jeopardy questions or do research on Alice Pung and Alexis Wright, the speakers at the two events. All that is required is that you add three reviews to the gochengdoo.com listings, and be the first person to send us an email within 24 hours of the appearance of this post.

The Details
Post reviews of three separate listings. Then send an email to chengdoo.events [at] gmail [dot] com with your name, registered GoChengdoo username, and mobile number, no later than Friday, March 12, at 9 a.m.

The winner will be contacted via email and SMS by Friday evening with instructions on how to claim the prize.

It's time for yet another round of the Jeopardy style quiz for the Bookworm International Literary Festival ticket giveaway!

This week's clues
1. He founded an organization devoted to translating and promoting contemporary Chinese fiction.
2. Before this, he was the Asia Manager for a U.S. Forecasting Company in Hong Kong.
3. He studied Chinese at Capital Normal University in Beijing, where he plays electric violin in a rock band.

Can you identify this author?

How it works
We give you three clues. You send us the right answer, in the form of a question, no later than 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 6, 2010, along with your name, registered GoChengdoo username, and mobile number. Send all of this to chengdoo.events [at] gmail [dot] com.

The winner will be contacted via email and SMS by Sunday, March 7 with instructions on how to claim the prize, and the mystery author will be revealed next week.

This week we're giving away tickets to Disco Death featuring Hong Kong-based DJ Enso from San Francisco who draws his influences from underground hip hop, Baltimore club, trip hop, and world music. According to Disco Death's Just Charlie (who, along with fellow resident DJ Jovian, will be playing Friday as well), you should go because "there are very rarely real DJs that come to Chengdu, so it's an opportunity to see or hear something new."

If that's not validation enough, Enso's Hong Kong "Hype Nasty" party was voted "Best Party of 2009" by Time Out Hong Kong readers, so if you believe in the wisdom of the crowd, you know it must be good.

2. Send your name, registered GoChengdoo username, and your mobile phone number with the message "Disco Death Giveaway" no later than 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 25, 2010.

For the new year we present to you double happiness in the form of a double giveaway!

The second giveaway for today is for one pair of tickets to an event of your choosing at next month's Bookworm International Literary Festival.

The 'worm has been gearing up for this event for months, and only now is information about who'll be there and what we can expect to hear trickling into our eager ears. This year marks the Bookworm's third festival and a noticeable step up from previous years' events in both number and notoriety of the literary figures who will make appearances. What's more, according to official PR literature, the Bookworm promises to be "transformed into a hub of literary and intellectual activity" for the occasion.

And so, in homage to literary and intellectual activity and Bookworm quiz nights, we're going Jeopardy style on this giveaway.

This week's clues
1. This American writer studied at Princeton University and the University of Oxford and served for two years in China in the Peace Corps.
2. He has written for The New Yorker, National Geographic, the Wall Street Journal, and other U.S. periodicals.

Corrections (Jan. 21): We erroneously wrote above that this giveaway was for two RMB50 vouchers; it's actually one RMB100 voucher. Also, you should write in your message "Parkway Thai Voucher," and not "8trees voucher" as we previously specified. If you've already sent in your message, your name will still be entered in the raffle, and you do not need to resend it. Our bad.
