Many thanks, then, to the folks over at The Loft, where this show will be held, for passing along a few extra pairs of tickets our way to hand out to DC9 readers. Want one of them? OK. They’re yours–if you’re among the first two people to email me, starting right now, with the words “I’ve Got Spirit, Yes I Do!” in the subject line. Good luck!
Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners!
