Win Tix to The Black Crowes, G. Love & Special Sauce, Howlin' Rain at the Greek Theatre
()
This Wednesday, September 17, The Black Crowes will grace Los Angeles' Greek Theatre along with G. Love & Special Sauce and Howlin' Rain (you can buy tickets here). The “Euphoria or Bust Tour” feature songs from the Crowes' first all new studio material in seven years, Warpaint.
The Black Crowes were heavily influenced by classic rock. With that said, to enter the contest, you must write a comment on this post's comment area below stating what you think is part of "classic" Los Angeles. In other words, what you think is a quintessential experience one must do while visiting or living in this city (giving surfing a try, eating at Pink's Hot Dogs, seeing a movie at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, etc. Maybe there are even more contemporary ideas like riding the Metro Red Line on a public art tour or a helicopter ride)? A qualifying comment will be chosen at random for the pair of tickets. More details are below:
Here's how the contest works:
- Enter the contest by making a comment on this post (below). Comments must fit the criteria, stated below.
- The criteria of the comment must state one thing that you believe is part of classic L.A., whether it be old or new school.
- You may only enter once.
- The contest closes at 11:59:59 p.m. on Monday, September 15, 2008.
- One winner will be selected at random to receive a pair of tickets and will be notified via the e-mail connected to their LAist.com login. They must confirm the receipt of the e-mail by 12:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 16, 2008 or the tickets will be released to another winner.
- Tickets will be held at the will-call pick up at the event
Good luck!
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
