Did we say FREE TICKETS? Why, Yes, We Believe We Did!

Dear patrons of the arts,

A week to go before the big concert and we know some of you are hanging back in anticipation. Kind of like when somebody brings out the big chocolate cake, but you don't want to be the first one to dive in.

We understand. About the cake. Frankly, we don't know how this applies to bluegrass....We sure could use some cake right now, though.....mmmmmm

FOCUS! FOCUS!!

Oh, yeah....we're here with FREE Tickets to the Flaw concert to whet your appetite (mmmmm, cake....!).

No, this isn't welfare, and it's not some kind of government arts grant project, either.

(Uh, do you KNOW of some welfare or a government arts grant project? We're just asking for a friend. Five of them, in fact.)

Here's how you can win the tickets:

1. Compose an email telling us how wonderful we are.
Tips: Concentrate on the astonishingly good-looking banjo player. Don't talk about hair -- few of us have any. That's all the help you're going to get.*

2. Send it to suckingup@murphysflawband.com

3. First place entry: 1 ticket.

4. Second-place entry: 2 tickets.

Now, if you're bringing a date**, you have to engineer your entry so that it will jusssssst miss first place and magically fall into the second place category and you're set for a wonderful evening in beautiful Granada Hills, inside the delightfully air-conditioned Blue Ridge Pickin' Parlor.

Operators are not standing by but some blinking computer is, so get to work.

/The Flaw

* additional regulation: entries containing the phrase "me love you long time, soldier" will either win or be disqualified, depending on whether they refer to the astonishingly good-looking banjo player.
** this is hypothetical, since people who listen to the Flaw generally can't GET dates.
