I don’t know how I’m gonna do it, but I think I’m gonna try and hit up three shows on Friday night. I know, sounds crazy. But hey, go big or go home, right? What else am I to do when SA just has so many fun events on one night? Someone needs to come up with a way to be in more than one place already. I’ll be the first to sign up for that.

Lucky for me and you, today’s giveaway is still a bit down the line, so there’s plenty of time to plan! This October, Gym Class Heroes and Lupe Fiasco are going Back to Basics with a joint headline tour at The Espee. Plus, B.o.B is joining them. Talk about a throwback! This is your chance to hear Cupid’s Chokehold live, and I know for a fact you’re gonna get major FOMO if you miss out on this. Do future you a favor and enter for a chance to score a pair of tickets to the show.
