Sunday nights are boring, what with having to go to work the next day...but you know, you really should go out and do something. The weekend is your time and you should not give any of your time to "the man" until he's paying you for it on Monday morning. As such, I'm asking you to spend your time this evening doing something fun: ThouShaltNot is playing at The Pegasus Lounge. The Dark Clan is opening and both Wreckcreation and Illusion of Joy are on the bill as special guests. The doors open at 8:00PM, at which point, if you've purchased a ticket in advance, they'll just let you in, otherwise, you pay $12 for admittance. Sound good? Do take my suggestion for what to do with your waning weekend under consideration.

So, you all know that I - as in Illusion of Joy, because the "band" only has one member - am one of two bands/musicians (Illusion of Joy not technically being a band, what with only having one member) opening for Christian Death at the 31^st Street Pub (located in Pittsburgh's Strip District - $15 at the door/21+ only). None too shabby, methinks...I mean, Christian Death isn't exactly an unknown entity in the Goth scene (to put it mildly and play it coy).

The doors to the venue open at 10:00PM - I'll be playing not long after the masses start shuffling in. Everyone reading this (within reasonable travel distance) should be among the shuffling.

Also, I really should not be drinking a caffeinated beverage right now...

Illusion of Joy will be taking the stage on Sunday, May 25^th at The Shadow Lounge along with Gramsci Melodic, John O'Hallaron and whomever else the promoter puts on the bill. This is an all-ages show where the doors to the venue open at 6:15PM and tickets are $7 in advance or $10 at the door. However, you have a chance to obtain tickets for free.

I have two pairs of tickets to give away. All you have to do is comment on this journal entry with your name, full mailing address and email address to be entered into a drawing for one of two pairs of tickets. Anonymous comments are enabled, allowing both LiveJournal and non-LiveJournal users alike to participate. All comments will be screened, so you are not giving away your personal information to the world. Furthermore, your email address will be used only once, to notify you if you've won the drawing. Your mailing address will be only used to deliver your tickets to you, should you win. Neither your email or postal address will be given or sold to a third party or used for any purposes other than this drawing.

Entries will be accepted from the date and time of this journal entry (May 19^th, 2008; 5:30PM) until 11:59PM on Tuesday, May 20^th, at which point the drawing will take place and the two winners will be notified via email and their tickets mailed the next morning.

So, what are you waiting for? Free stuff is good! Comment below to be entered...

I was recently alerted that the PayPal link to purchase tickets for the Illusion of Joy show at the Shadow Lounge on the 20^th is not working. I am currently looking into this in the hopes of having it resolved as soon as possible. If you are having any problems, please contact me about it.
