    I’ve been moving around the country (Coast to Coast) for the past few years, missing them some way or another. This is the first time I’ll be living in one state for more than a year (since college) and they’re finally on tour again. It’s a requirement that I attend this show.

    I should win these tickets because I love Mates of State and I haven’t had a chance to see them in person! I heard them first on This American Life and have been following them ever since.

    OK, I’ll try for this one too. I love them, and want to start a guy/girl duo similar to MoS. So I need to see them for inspiration.

    Please, please, please! I love Mates of State.  (I know- begging won’t work, but I have to try anyway;)  )

    the first time i ever encountered sonny [aka james brown] was at a mates of state show at variety.  one of the best shows i ever saw.  the cover of ‘these days’ was the icing on the cake.

    whoever wins, enjoy!

    I was late on the Mates of State bandwagon and have yet to see them live, but I love their music!  What better way to cement a new fan than to make that happen? ;)

    I would like to win tickets so that I can spend my ticket money at the bar.

  • AK Mashhoon

    I would like to win tickets too…  i’ll probably spend my money on dang parking.

    because…

    About the things that I forgot to do
    And all the times I had the chance to.”
