Many thanks then to the fine folks at the Granada Theater, who’ve passed along three pairs of tickets for us to hand out to some DC9 readers. Want one of the pairs? OK: Be one of the first three people to shoot me an email right now with the words “In The Pink” in the subject line. Good luck!
Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners!
