    I figured out the secret to free concerts!

    There's a club downtown that has become a very active concert venue. They run a lot of contests on their web site to win tickets to shows. In the last two months I've entered a few of those contests and won three times! I think they wait until a few days before the show and, depending on how ticket sales are going, depends on how many "winners" they have. Better to have a full house than an empty one. And you gotta figure that all those freebies are good for a few purchased beverages.

    I won four ticket to Leon Russell. Two tickets to some Mystery Metal band show that, once they announced the bands we decided not to attend. And today I rec'd an email that I won two tickets so see Kyuss on Friday night. I'm not sure yet that I can go on Friday...I'll have to check with Hubby.

    Unfortunately, there are no contests for the really good shows like Elbow or Iron & Wine. ...which helps confirm my theory that the contests are really just a guise to fill the house.

    Whatever...I'll take a freebee anytime!

    BarryL and I saw Queensryche about 10 years ago. They were okay. I'm not inspired to see them again.

    I guess "really good shows" is subjective! Having seen both Iron & Wine and Elbow in the early 2000s, I'd go for Leon Russell or even a Homme-less Kyuss 100 times out of 100.

    We saw Elbow open for Coldplay and they were excellent. I'm excited about seeing them headline.

    And the world will turn to flowing pink vapor stew.
