Two Birds, One Credit Card Payment
I have never been to the Hot August Blues Festival in Hunt Valley, MD, mostly because of the 'hot' and 'August' parts. It's usually bizarrely hot and humid that day and spending the day outside? Not my first choice. But this year, I'm making the exception.
Lyle Lovett & His Large Band

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears

Seriously? On the same bill? I'm there yesterday. Lovett's enough to get me there, the rest is icing.
Tickets? $40 right now. Not unreasonable. But...WTMD, my public station of choice, is giving people 2 tickets for a specific donation level. I'm a member. I haven't renewed yet this year. So, membership is renewed for another year, a whole year of first rate radio, and 2 tickets to the show to boot. Works for me, I must say.
Oh, and that second ticket? Not spoken for yet.
