Some people think that flowers are romantic. Others, candy. There are a million ways to pitch woo, friends, and they’ve all been done. Are we saying that your fancy diamonds and handwritten mash notes are old, boring and stale? Why yes, yes we are.

Throw a little excitement into your otherwise staid l’affaire amour with our newest contest: the Love Is A Crime ticket giveaway. You can enter the contest now, or keep reading.

In conjunction with the Buffalo Museum of Science and its new CSI:The Experience exhibition, we are giving away two pairs of tickets to Love Is A Crime, an exclusive party slated for 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10 at the Buffalo Museum of Science (1020 Humboldt Parkway, Buffalo).

These tickets normally cost $25 and enable you to attempt to solve three heinous crimes presented by CSI: The Experience, a traveling forensic investigation exhibit based on the wildly popular television shows. Pick through a car wreck, a murder scene and an unearthed grave while enjoying Flying Bison beer, munchies from local food trucks and live music.

Basically, this event is so engaging that it makes dinner and a movie look like an egregious insult to person who is supposed to be sharing your life.  Enter now at Buffalo.com/Contests. Contest ends on Feb. 7.
