Dear Friend-Of-Digg,

A music/food/art/fashion extravaganza curated by the fine folks at Complex — with some help from Takashi Murakami and Pharrell — and featuring concerts from artists like Kid Cudi and Skrillex? Count. Us. In.

Sound as good to you as it does to us? Well, we're giving away an all-expenses paid trip for two to attend ComplexCon in Long Beach, California on November 5-6.
