Yeah, I know. Go figure, right? But it’s true. I’ve got a pair of Wilco tickets for the upcoming show at Athens’ Classic Center on Monday, April 20. You gotta work for them, though.
Rules: Answer all questions,first person to correctly answer all of them gets them. What I’m gonna do when you win is send your info to Wilco’s management people so if any specific ticket issues arise you’ll contact them, not me.
