It's come to this. We don't know if it's a failure of the imagination or simply a lack of inspiration, but we're just not getting enough questions to fuel the acerbic wit machine known as the Essefficist. In order to get you all used to pestering the poor man to answer your nagging questions, we are offering two pairs of free tickets to tomorrow's show at Bimbos 365, featuring The Gift of Gab with friends Lateef the Truth Speaker and DJs Reim and D Sharp (we assume Chief Xcel is holed up somewhere working on some phat beats). You can thank Quannum Projects for giving us the tickets to give to you.

The authors of the best two questions, as determined by the highly scientific methodology of the Essefficist's own, incredibly biased, opinions, each get a pair of tickets. Just so you don't think the deck is stacked against you, the contributors have sworn not to enter -- even though we think Bimbos is maybe one of the best music venues anywhere (Showtime can't be wrong), and that Blackalicious f**king rocks. Send in as many entries as you want, as long as you get them in by noon tomorrow -- there will probably be lots of second-prize winners who will have their questions answered! So really, what do you have to lose? Winners will be announced tomorrow before 5pm, and they can go pick up their tickets when the doors open at 8pm.

Update: Congratulations to winners Jeremy Y. and Dawn W. -- enjoy the show, kids!
