Radiohead at the Hollywood Bowl, thanks to Original Penguin
A few weeks ago, while on my way down to San Diego for vacation, I visited the Original Penguin Store in LA with my wife, Rupe. I entered a drawing sponsored by Filter Magazine and Original Penguin for 2 tickets to the Radiohead concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Even though I desperately hoped I'd win, I wasn't holding my breath. (After all, winning contests is something other people do. Not me.) But the following week I got a voicemail from the store manager informing me that I'd won. I'm a winner! (Or, to quote Radiohead, "I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll, this time, I feel my luck could change.")
So Rupe and I drove back down to SoCal again. On the Sunday of the concert, I dropped by the store to pick up my tickets and spend my gift certificate. The folks at the store (Kenny, on the left in the first photo, and Heather, in the middle) were incredibly nice and the concert was fantastic. (Good weather, good venue, great show.) It was my third time seeing Radiohead live and they didn't disappoint.
Thanks to Filter and Original Penguin for a near perfect day.
