Because we love you

We're starting to take inventory of our giveaway stash, and believe us, it's massive. Because we want our readers pampered and cooler than everyone else, our first gift for this recession-fun party is two gift cards for superstar boutique Aritzia in the Westfield Shopping Mall in downtown SF. To win for yourself or for that fashionable one in your life, submit a 50-word graf on the following:

What trend do you absolutely hate, and what would you do to the offenders?

Email me or post your response in the comments, and we'll pick our two faves! But hurry, these cards expire Tuesday, December 23. General contest rules here.

Ah, to score things that are free

I have two pairs of tickets for the Soulwax/2manydjs show at the end of the month! You want 'em, yeah? First two people to email me answers to the following gets some love:

- What is Samantha Fu?
- Name five remixes the Dewaele brothers have been responsible for.
- How would you describe the difference between the two groups?

Does anyone else think it a little funny they're opening up for themselves? I digress....

(Note: Contest has closed lovies! - Ed. 10/27)

Everyone needs some free swag! (aka, enter here for your free ish)

What's up party people!

(Sorry, I think I had too much coffee tonight - or maybe not enough)

I come bestowing more gifts. MSTRKRFT is playing next week, and I am almost tempted to drop some hallucenegetic drugs to witness this new light show that's gonna pop (no, Mom, I'm not going to - Ed.). So, we're doing this cool swaggy thing where if you're interested, you can comment on this entry and get some sweet T-shirt and turnable scratch pads f-r-e-e of charge sent to you if you'd like them cos really - everyone knows you need that shit when you least expect it. You can also email me if you're more shy like that. I'll be nice.

(EDIT: We actually did not end up getting our hands on scratch pads, but instead offer sweet MSTRKRFT CDs instead. I got a handful left of 'em, so let me know if you're still down for either/or. I'll close shop on Wednesday, October 8 for sending goodies out! - Ed. 10/6)

Also, should you purchase more than two tickets to the show, you will be entered into a drawing to win a free drink card worth $25 at the Mezzanine bar, which, if you've been here before, know that it can come in handy. We only have a couple of these though, so buy buy buy!

This post is mustache-approved.

You always need new music to listen to, correct?

Win me!

Win a brand spankin' new Hercules and Love Affair CD, courtesy of us at the ol' Mezz, simply by leaving a comment answering this question: what has been your favorite performance at Mezzanine so far, and why? Did you dance your feets off? Did you fall in love in the smoking area? Did you lose your virginity? Greek-related answers and nudity need apply, but mostly quirky and original answers will win my heart.

Hey, it's my first day, and already I am bestowing free crap among you. Don't say I wasn't ever generous.

Last day to enter is Monday, July 28!
