Win Tickets to Odd Future!

Oh, hello Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. After teasing us for months and months with rumors of a possible Portland appearance, the most controversial hiphop act since __________ (fill in the blanks, but I'd either go with Eminem circa The Slim Shady LP or Ice Cube during the AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted days) is finally packing the ski masks and coming to town on their "Golf Wang" tour.

Tyler, The Creator and company will be at the Roseland Theater on Sunday, October 2. Tickets go on sale this morning at 10am right here and we suggest you pony up for a pair since this show will easily sell out in no time.

While we're at it, we just so happen to have a pair of Odd Future tickets to giveaway. Just comment below and explain why these tickets should be yours. Best comment by tomorrow at noon will be the glorious winner. Good luck to you and your precious swag.

Clearly, these should go to me seeing as how I'm the first to comment. Seriously, swag me the fuck before you get punched in yo fuckin' mouth! (Plus, I'm a white girl.)

Oh, awesome! I also don't know how to type a full coherent sentence, either! My swag grammar is awful.

I should get these tickets because I'm scared of black people (there's a reason why I moved to Portland). Maybe this concert will allow me to overcome this debilitating condition through immersion.

I want to demonstrate how hip a 32 year old white lady can really be. I want to prove that I'm not afraid to listen to young African Americans spew hatred towards women because I get it. It's poetry. I'll buy tickets anyway, so I'll definitely be there to represent my gender and class, even though I'll probably be the only representative there...oh wait. This is Portland. Hey, guys? Will you just send another 32 yr old white lady to this show for free please? Thanks.

I'll wear my 5XL (XXXXXL) North Face parka THE WHOLE SHOW to look gangsta and blend in to show Odd Future how us odd Portland folk do it up here.

You should give me the tickets because if you give them to some scrawny Vancouver kid, him and his date will probably get murdered at the show and then its all on you, Mercury. Next thing you know, you're responsible for the deaths of two innocent hillbilly white kids and you've got to advertise twice as many morbidly obese prostitutes in the back of your paper. That's a lot of paper that you're using at this point and the Hawthorne hippies are probably going to start getting all uppity and boycotting your swag. Now they want to come to your office and pour fake blood all up in your shit. Not to mention that I don't have tickets so now I've got to sell my butthole on the street to scrounge up the change for OFWGKTA. That's a lot of fucking crabs going around, Mercury. I don't know if you're really prepared for the possibility of not giving me these tickets.

You should give these tickets to me, because unlike these 16 year old wannabe badasses whose moms are gonna preorder their tickets drop them off and pick them up after the show so they can get drunk for the first time and probably destroy something or vomit on that hot older chick they're trying to impress, I got two jobs and a car in the shop. I'm stoked to see Tyler and hopefully frank ocean and fuck all the guys. Let's keep it real, pick me, I'll represent The.Portland.Mercury.

This would make for great/terrible hipster party conversation. "I saw Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All when they first came around. I mean, they're a little commercial for my taste but whatever. I was on the list, so...." I'll say this in a bored monotone while staring at my own Tumblr on my iPhone.

A couple months after completing my graduate degree here in the fine town of Portland, I found myself sitting in a waiting room before my appointment to get food stamps wondering where I've gone wrong. No amount of covered wagon frontier illustration bullshit makes that card anything but a food stamps card. I see through the quaint facade - I have a Masters of Fine Arts after all. Good grief. Give me the damn tickets.

I should get the tickets because I want to go more then anything but cant afford it. Odd future is just about the only thing I listen to nowadays and when I heard they were coming I was instantly bummed out cause I already know it will sell out fast and I know this show is gonna be the funnest thing since slip and slides. I need to go to this. I will eat a humans head if thats what it takes.. Im not joking.
