Ever get your words printed in Creative Loafing?
Are you a big Coheed and Cambria fan and you'd love to go their "Neverender: SSTB" concert at The Fillmore Charlotte on April 18, but you don't have tickets?
Creative Loafing is partnering up Coheed and Cambria to offer a lucky fan the chance to win tickets, a meet and greet with the band AND get your words written in the paper.
How? Instead of telling us why you like the band, we'd like you to write a preview of the show and tell CL readers why they should go. In roughly 75 words, write up a quick paragraph that gets right to the point of why people should be at this show. Don't simply say "they're awesome" or "because they're the best band ever," we're looking for more than that.
Coheed and Cambria will be playing its debut album, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, in full, as well as an acoustic set and an encore set.
The winner, chosen by the band, will have their preview item published in the music section of the April 13-20 edition of Creative Loafing, as well as online at clclt.com. Find out first by picking up a copy in the Charlotte area — and then we'll post the winner online on Friday, April 15, if you can wait that long.
Send your entries with your name, age and valid e-mail address to vielarcrom@gmail.com
Good luck!

Moss and Liz's Wedding f. Felicia Castelow, Rape Whistle, Letdowns, All Rise, Fat Camp, For Disaster, Zeus and Twenty Eyes
The Milestone
March 19, 2011
The Deal: When I found out that the rowdy Moss of DSR and his lovely lady Liz were getting hitched at the Milestone, I was utterly stoked. I knew that an incredibly sick show was bound to be booked and the celebrations would be extravagant and to remember (if you were capable of doing so). Nonetheless, the progression of schedule began and before I knew it eight bands were on the bill: Felicia Castelow, Rape Whistle, Letdowns, All Rise, Fat Camp, For Disaster, Zeus and Twenty Eyes and a wedding ceremony at 1:30 am. There was no way that I would have even considered missing such an incredible night of punk rock love and jams.
