Drawing: Ray LaMontagne at The Palace
Drawing's closed!
Singer/songwriter Ray LaMontagne is set to play The Palace this Sunday, November 9. We have a pair tickets and we're giving them way -- maybe to you.
To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
Election Day is Tuesday. So, in a play on that, what do you vote for?
This could be anything, far beyond the political. It could be voting for something you'd like to see happen in the Capital Region. It could be voting for more of something (or less of something). Whatever. Non-redeemable bonus points for fun or interesting votes.
The Grammy-winning LaMontagne is currently touring in support of his album Supernova, which was produced by Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys. The opener for the Palace show is The Belle Brigade.
The show starts at 7:30 pm Sunday. Tickets are $35 and up.
Important: All comments must be submitted by 5 pm on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. (Normal commenting guidelines apply.) One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by 10 pm on Tuesday and must respond by 10 pm Wednesday, November 5.

I second the vote for a Wegman's. In all serious though, I wish one of these years I was voting FOR something instead of feeling like I was voting for the best of the worst.
