I already mentioned A Drink for the Kids and its big grand finale spectacular taking place tomorrow at Neumo’s [mb]. You’ve got the Ruby Suns, Mt St. Helens Vietnam Band, and Tokyo Police Club on stage, People’s Republic of Komedy’s Kevin Hyder keeping you laughing between sets, and DJ Righteous Trash keeping you dancing when you aren’t laughing or rocking or while you’re drinking (this is mainly to say that the intermission music will be better than the whole Jackson 5 Greatest Hits played straight through and if conversation wanes someone onstage is bound to say something funny to break the tension). In addition to being a fun Saturday night for you, the proceeds benefit the Vera Project.

So, you have the chance to do something for The Kids (who are, after all, our leading-the-way future, especially if the future you want is one built by creative and talented young people) and that something is drinking, which sounds like a pretty good way to feel good about your 21+ self. A lucky one of you, though, will have things even easier. We have a spare pair of tickets to give away for free, saving the winner at least $30 + fees to put under their mattress or convert immediately into whiskey. These, being for the moment potentially safer investments than your retirement savings account. Flush with cash and averse to games of chance? Tickets are still on sale. [neumos]

With the stakes so high, do be quick about sending an e-mail to seattle.metblogs at the gmail dot com. The winner will be picked pretty much randomly, although I’m willing to improve the odds for anyone who provides a fun fact about New Zealand. I’ll let you know if you’ve won by noon tomorrow.
