Our editorial meeting started out this morning with one question: HOW DID WE BUNGLE THIS “NUCLEAR COWBOYZ” THING? As clearly stated yesterday, the Nuclear Cowboyz motocross theatrical production is the most amazing event EVER, and we (idiotically, I might add) neglected to devote an entire issue of the Mercury to it. Check out this description from the Nuclear Cowboyz press release:
Nuclear Cowboyz 2012 features the legend of two powerful motocross tribes whose survival in their futuristic world is told through an action-packed narrative of fearless freestyle aerial feats, gravity denying stunts, and outrageous pyrotechnic displays synchronized to hard rock music.
There’s not enough “bolds” in the world to fill that last description!! This thing is going to be fucking AMAZING, people. (Yes, I know I’m supposed to be promoting the Mercury‘s Malt Ball which is going down at the exact same time… but fuck that. NUCLEAR COWBOYZ IS THE SHOW TO SEE.)
That’s why I’m giving away TWO TICKETS to one lucky winner to see Nuclear Cowboyz on Saturday night, March 24 starting at 7:30 pm at the Rose Garden! EMAIL ME HERE, put “EXTREEEEEME!” in the subject header, and provide a very brief description of how EXTREEEEME! you are (by noon tomorrow, that’s Friday), and the best response will EXTREEEEMELY! win those tix!
Need further convincing that Nuclear Cowboyz is the greatest show ever to be produced on planet Earth? CHECK IT and DEAL WITH IT!

I am almost sorry I will be missing that. But I’ll be behind the scenes at ‘Wheel of Fortune’ right next door at OCC, so I’ll still be in Awesomeville.
I’ll win these tickets and I’ll exchange em for the book D.I.Y magick mentioned above. Is that allowed right? (No matter how much I wanna know the stories of the 2 futuristic tribes and get drunk and scream the whole show – is that allowed too?)
I thought tomorrow is Thursday. Did I miss a day? Damned rum and cokes.
