WIN DAVID BYRNE TIX!
This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. Surely David Byrne (as in the Talking Heads) wasn't talking about Miami in that song. Nevertheless, he'll be gracing us with his indie pop rock god presence December 13 at The Fillmore. There are two reasons you should go see this show.
1. My friend Alex loves this guy so much he named his cat after him. That's right: Kitty Byrne. Kitty Byrne, the few times I've met him, is an awesome cat. And so is David Byrne.
2. I saw him (David, not Kitty) at Austin City Limits this past September at a venue similar to The Fillmore and he rocked. I was a little wary, and almost didn't go because the tickets were so expensive and me and my beaux were like, eh, David Byrne without the Talking Heads? Let's just sell our tickets and go eat tacos. But in the end we went and were so glad we did. Even with a chick running her yapper behind me (despite my evil looks), and even with interpretive dancers, it was a great show. He played mostly new stuff and a few classics which, of course, were crowd pleasers. This guy is the real deal. And my real deal I mean awesome.
So, getting back to the expensive ticket thing. You might not even have to weigh going to see David Byrne and eating tacos because Miami.com is giving two sets of tickets away for free. All you have to do is watch The Link (that's our "what to do this weekend" video show) on Thursday, during which Toni and J.R. will ask a David Byrne trivia question. Email editor@miami.com (that's me) with the answer and we'll choose two winners Friday afternoon. If one of those winners is you, you and a lucky guest will be on your way to see David Byrne.
Really - this ain't no fooling around.
