02:32 PM - Mountain Goats Poll And Ticket Giveaway!
This Friday, May 16, The Mountain Goats will be playing an AIDS benefit show at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple in Ft. Greene. This is a great venue to see any show, but this special event is sure to be incredible. The lineup also includes John Oliver (from Comedy Central), Rock Plaza Central, The Gotham City Girls Roller Derby, and much more. Click "more" on this post for the full details. Here's (contest has ended, sorry!) your chance to win a pair of tickets to this (which can be purchased through Ticketweb). Just answer the poll question (about your favorite Mountain Goats "Going To..." song) and then make sure to send a comment after submitting your poll. In the comment, I will need your name, email address, and if you want - your phone number in the body of the comment (don't worry, this info will go to me and nobody else). On the morning of Thursday, May 15, I'll randomly pick one of the emails and contact the winner. You'll have until 5pm Thursday to confirm (this is where providing your phone number when you enter might come in handy, in case you're not an obsessive email checker like some people) and then your name and a friend's will be on the list at the show! If you feel bad about going to a benefit event for free, well, the money from the bar is also part of the funds, so drink up while you're there!
