We have been lovin' the weather lately. It has been great for outdoor concerts. We saw The Yeah Yeah Yeahs last week, and it was a really great show. The Meat Puppets played on the 3rd at the Summit, and The Supersuckers played the next day at the Ravari Room. So many good shows are coming up, too...Jenny Lewis at the Wexner, Johnathan Richman at The Summit, Counting Crows, Black Crowes, etc. We want to help you see some great shows this summer, too. WTR?! is giving away tickets for the upcoming Offspring and Dropkick Murphy's Show at the LC Pavillion June 23rd. Stop by the store, fill out an entry form and drop it in the skull bucket. A winner will be chosen at random on June 19th. What could be better than a free show?
