    "Old Man Harkins had always been wealthy. But with this production, he could finally declare himself 'eccentric.'"

I'm sure I don't have to remind you good folks that the Youth will be playing War Memorial this Saturday, July 11. After all, we already told you all about it and shared a track from their latest, The Eternal. Here's to the MP3 of their song "Sacred Trickster," bee tee dub.

So here's the news you can use: We've been given two pairs of tickets to Saturday night's show, and we thought to ourselves, "Hey, why the hell not another cool-ass caption contest?" We swear a lot when we think to ourselves. The usual rules apply. In regard to the above photograph, post the most uproarious caption you can muster in the comments, and be sure to include your real name and an email address where we can reach you. We'll select our two winners Thursday at noon. Godspeed!

Update:

Our winners have been selected. Thanks for playing! Honorable mentions go to Donnie Oldschool and Bingham.

After the world economic collapse, Vegas was in such dire straights that the beset they could hope for was the Sonic Youth floor show. Kim Gordon in pasties may have been a new low.

What makes you think I got press passes? If I wanted to go for free I would've tried to snag one of those freebies instead of giving them all away. You guys get my admiration and props for being top-tier funny. Just shy of being funny enough.
