We have two tickets for the Crobot concert taking place at Tremont Music Hall on Tuesday, April 7. With 4/20 around the corner, and Crobot professing their love of weed in our feature story this week, we thought we'd tie this all in to our call for High-deas.
Simply go online to our survey and share the best idea you've come up with while high. Maybe it was a cheesy poofs delivery service; maybe it was the perfect sandwich; maybe it was a way to end world hunger.
We'll pick one of the submissions as the winner on Monday morning.

Freebies abound in this recent update from the upcoming Lollapalooza festival. For those of you who can't make it to the August festival in Chicago (I am a sad, sad member of that club), some of the featuring artists have songs available through Spinner. The big hitters (My Morning Jacket, Bright Eyes) are here, but there are plenty of lesser known groups (Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and Mountain Goats) in this sampler to keep an eye on.
You've probably heard of Owl City, but did you know that Adam Young, Owl City’s frontman, is also an accomplished photographer?
