Wilco is sold out – Win tickets here
Did you come to party, Duluth? I know you did.

Tickets to Friday night’s Wilco show at the DECC Auditorium are sold out. If you’d like to win tickets from PDD, here’s how:
If you went to the foggy, rainy 2007 concert at Bayfront Festival Park, share your favorite memory of that show in the comments. If you didn’t go, maybe you have a good excuse for missing such a sensational show, so share that.
At some point either tonight or tomorrow, I’ll pick a winner from those who comment.
(Oh, and I know the audio is crappy on the embedded video, so you don’t need to comment about that.)
