SFist Contest: Win Tickets To Litquake’s Opening Night!
As part of its upcoming literary arts festival, Litquake is throwing a big and-- dare we say it-- bad Between the Bridges opening night to-do this Friday October 6 at 8 p.m. The rockin' fun will be at the Regency Center Grand Ballroom, 1290 Sutter Street (Van Ness at Sutter). And we've got two tickets to give away!
Between the Bridges is so hoppin', even dynamo and local rocker Lars Ulrich of Metallica will be there (we kid you not, it was just announced, like, this week). Between the Bridges is a one-of-a-kind evening of musicians inspired by literature, with readings and performances from some of the Bay Area’s biggest stars. Sponsored by SPIN and 7×7 magazines and produced in conjunction with Artists for Literacy.
Lineup includes: Dave Eggers and END OF SUFFERING, Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt), Dan Hicks, Penelope Houston (The Avengers), Ray Manzarek (The Doors), Dan "The Automator" Nakamura (Gorillaz), Frank Portman (The Mr. T. Experience), Chuck Prophet, Samantha Stollenwerck , and Jill Tracy.
Emcee: Ben Fong-Torres.
We'll notify our winner by Friday 10 a.m. -- so if you don't win (don't worry, you'll totally win), pick up your tickets here-- it's $25 in advance ($20 seniors and students, all tickets 21 and over only). Buy in advance before it sells out!
