Win New Year's Eve Tickets to the Flaming Lips, Gnarls Barkley, Cat Power show at the new Galen Center at USC

LAist has had a great year and we've tried to share some of that with you. We've given away box seats to some Hollywood Bowl shows that included picnic baskets and free parking, we've given away tickets to Vegoose, the Dixie Chicks, and we even got a bunch of people into that secret Red Hot Chili Peppers gig... and those were only some of our contests.
Today we are giving away a super cool Gwen Stefani gift bag, and because this is the Season of Giving (tm), we have three (3) pairs of Flaming Lips New Year's Eve tickets for their show with Gnarls Barkley and Cat Power!!!
All you have to do is put an LAist button on your blog or website and put the URL of that blog/website in the comments of this post. Make sure to put your real email address in the comment (only we can see that email address) because we will be emailing notification on Thursday in the AM to tell the winners that they've won.
Deadline is tomorrow night at 11:11pm. So get it together!
Super easy instructions as to how to get the button on your blog after the jump...
