Win Tickets to See The Whigs at the Echo on WednesdayI didn't get out much last week. Finally saw a few songs from Princeton and Grande Ole Party on Saturday night. This week I'm most looking forward to the Whigs with Henry Clay People and Le Switch. I've got two pairs of tickets to give away for the show. To win, email me [dukeufo at hotmail] and tell me what your favorite beach is in LA. The contest closes Wednesday at Noon.
