Everyone knows that Saul Williams is talented. He's an accomplished poet, singer, actor (he was in K-PAX!), and activist. But did you know that the Brooklyn native is also a deadly big game hunter? Or what about his lifelong friendship with the Ultimate Warrior? Did you know about his stint as a celebrity chef? Or, um, what about this photo of him with a guy and his Ferrari? Basically, Saul Williams can do everything, while all we can do is giveaway tickets.

That said, we are giving away one pair of tickets to see the talented Mr. Williams at the Aladdin Theater on Sunday, November 15th. To win your way into this show—which has some fantastic opening acts like CX KiDTRONiK & Tchaka Diallo and Earl Greyhound—just comment below and explain why you deserve to win. The top comment by Wednesday at 5pm (that's tomorrow) will be the big winner. Good luck.

Usually I throw up some bullshit comment hoping that I win because I'm funny or clever or something. But FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU Saul Williams is just about my favoritist evers. I've seen him a bunch of times, but the best show I saw was the Hillside Quickies Third Anniversay All-Ages Show. That was amazing.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the Trent Reznor beats used on Niggy Tardust, but his writing is still top-notch. So yeah, I deserve this because I've sang along with Dead Prez at live shows, and therefore am obviously post-racial and can relate well to Mr. Williams,

1) How can aaroncolter be better than the rest, when at the time of his post he was the only one to have responded? Does that mean that he's better than himself? - FAIL

2) It's pretty apparent that Graham is a giant douche. I'm pretty sure Saul is anti-douche. He gone.

I just really wanna go to this show. A friend recently turned me on to Niggy Tardust and I would love to return the favor by taking him to the show for free. As great as his studio albums are, I have never seen him live and would like to experience Saul Williams incarnate.

, Said the Shotgun to the Head.

Saul's gorgeous manipulation of language and capacity for expression will never cease to amaze me. We are lucky he is willing to share his thoughts with us. Man's brilliant.

I deserve is because i noticed the lyrics in Talk To Strangers that was inspired by the His Dark Materials book series before any of you did.

I deserve it because it sounds like a really good time and my wife and I never get to go out and enjoy ourselves. Either because she's working or because we can't afford anything after I lost my job! Let the best man win; I just hope some luck with a bunch of joy finally can come our way! Peace everyone!
