Win Tix to The Mountain Goats This Sunday!
Look how much we love you. We’re just BLOWING OUT tickets! And these are fantastic bands: the Mountain Goats are accompanied by Final Fantasy. Wow, there’s so much going on Sunday night and I’d really love to go to this show. The MG’s combine some of the best of The Decemberists, Neutral Milk Hotel, Okkervil River and They Might Be Giants. There’s even a little Dylan in there. I wonder if I can do the two things I’ve already committed to this Sunday night, AND go to this show. Hmm.
Oh well. I may be boned for attending this one, but you should go. To win tickets, leave me the best excuse you’ve ever made up or heard for missing an event. Because I may need to find a good excuse so I can attend this show.

I once heard someone say that they had to miss a USC football game (as a member of the band) because he had to “go sing with a boys’ choir in the woods.” Needless to say, no questions were asked. Better not to know.
I was surfing the crimson wave. I had to haul ass to the ladies’.
Once, in high school, I got out of a date I really didn’t want to have by using the completely true excuse, “My little brother lost his pokemon card collection. I have to help him find it before he breaks anything else in the house.”
Well, I can’t figure out public transportation in Los Angeles and don’t have a car, so my excuse is usually “The bus doesn’t go there. If you want to come pick me and then take me back, sure.” It’s a guaranteed out for anything farther than 20 minutes away or that takes place between 4-7 pm.
I can’t go because I have a job interview in the morning.
There’s five skunks in my front yard and I’m scared to go out.
I always go with the class “I’m pure liquid from the neck down” No one asks questions after that.
