No Joke: Comic Giving Away National Tickets!

0807facebookmike.jpgTonight’s hot ticket, as you know, is Plants and Animals at Central Park Summerstage; the phenomenal Montreal trio will also be joined by up-and-comers Yeasayer and The National (never heard of ‘em.) This event is sold out, but funnyman Mike Birbiglia is giving away a pair of tickets to whoever writes “the nicest request on my Facebook wall.” To snag the tix, you'll at least have to top this misspelled plea: "I request that you look in the mirror so you can enjoy your face as no amount of modern medicine could cure you of your mild case of the handsomes! Sufficent?"

Tonight's hot ticket: another wimpy white indie band nobody's ever heard of!

If you google "Best album of 2007", Boxer by the National will be on almost all, and #1 on many (if not most).

Great, great band.

"mild case of the handsomes"

isn't that an insult?
