Welcome back the beloved ticket pony, who has trotted in from the stable to giveaway a pair of tickets to see the Faint on Sunday, November 9th at the Roseland Theater. Thanks, pony!
These Omaha electronic giants are rolling west and spreading the glory of Fasciinatiion, their oddly-spelled first full-length in over four years. If you have never seen the Faint live, get ready for a sweaty (their Meow Meow show way back "in the day" was so sweltering that my glasses fogged up) mass of dance floor action, enough strobe lights to trigger a seizure, and a band who incorporates a punk aesthetic to their keyboard-heavy live show.
If you want to take part in the fun, just comment below on why you think you deserve the tickets more than anyone else. The best comment by Wednesday at 10am will win two tickets to paradise the Faint. Good luck!

I am in desperate need of some sweet sweet synth love and dancing. Plus... I am still waiting for my piece of the bailout and am low on cash till that earmarked pork barrel comes snortin' on in!
I spent my rock show budget on beverages Halloween night for reasons of a personal human nature and woke up next to my cat.
Holler!
I bought a pair of tickets to see the Faint while visiting San Diego several years ago. My wife and I decided that we could manage public transit to get to/from the show. Eventually the bus driver pulled over and parked. We looked around and noticed we were the only two people left. It was dark out. We told him the name of the club we were trying to get to for the show, and he said it was the end of the route and we weren't anywhere near our final destination. Exhausted, we called a cab from a suburban San Diego 7-11, not to see the Faint, but to get back to our hotel. So much for trying to save some money on the concert commute.
I deserve to win this contest because no one else does.
And I spent all of my discretionary money on video Fallout 3.
The Faint is actually directly responsible for me dating my current boyfriend. After dancing all night to the hot, sweaty, synthy goodness that is The Faint, I realized on the ride home that I was butt-crazy in love with this weird red-headed, Faint-loving guy. Maybe it was his dance moves. We've been together for four years and our anniversary was this weekend. The concert would make an awesome present to us, since we couldn't afford to do anything much to mark the occasion.
I was in a fucking car crash this weekend and my Physical Therapist told me to dance to make me feel better. Lately I've been listening to Q-Lazzarus radio on Pandora which picks up only synth pop. I've grown very accustomed to this style of music now and it is the only music I can dance to... well besides the usual stuff which involves me doing the Mazurka. Now that I'm unable to do the Mazurka because of my back problems I must now resort to dancing to synth pop. So as you can see this is the only way I would be able to complete my physical therapist's wishes without spending dough that I don't have.
I was in a fucking car crash!
