You are correct,sir. Congratulations. There are no hard tickets for Band of Ballers. Your name will be on the list at the door, and it has to be you. They're being sticklers about it. Just you and 1 friend. Also, you have to present your ID upon entry. Send your e-mail address to chad.radford@cln.com and I will send you the address of the location as soon as they give it me. Thanks!

Thanks for the chance. By the way, thanks for all the killer music info through the years as well! Creative loafing is some of the best loafing around.
