Contest: Win tix to see Xavier Rudd at The Newport on 10/26

Who’s ready for a quick contest? We’ve got a pair of tickets (well, actually, guest list spots) for this Friday night’s Xavier Rudd concert at The Newport.

We could make you do something fancy like answering some sort of trivia question or we could randomly select a number from a hat and use that to pick a winner. But, time is of the essence here so … the first person to email contestdonewaiting@gmail.com will win the tickets.

Good luck with your fast fingers!
