So there you go.
And thanks to the folks at Spune Productions who are putting on this show, we’ve got a couple free pairs of tickets to give away–two pairs, in fact. Want one of them? OK: be one of the first two people to email me right now with the phrase “You’re A Wolf” in the subject line and you and a friend are in for free. Good luck!
Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners.
