Music: Free Tickets: Amy Ray of The Indigo Girls
Amy Ray will play this Friday. Yay!Ever heard of a band called The Indigo Girls? For the three readers who said no… just kidding, those three readers don’t exist. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, it has to be admitted that The Girls probably did as much for lesbian visibility in their day as Ellen is doing now. That is why some of you might be excited to know that one of the Indigo Girls, Amy Ray, is going to be playing at the 9:30 Club this Friday.
And you have the chance to win free tickets to see her. It’s really easy. Details are below, in addition to an Amy Ray mixtape.
In order to win two free tickets to see Amy Ray, you just need to answer one of two simple questions in the comment box below:
1) I have a busy afternoon planned. I want to see the doctor, see the mountains, spend time with children and drink from a fountain. But I’m new in town and have no idea where the best place would be to do all of these things in one afternoon. Is there some kind of mall I could go to? Would Arlington be a good place to start? Help!
2) If the above query doesn’t get your creative juices flowing, tell me why a doctor of philosophy would possibly need such a long beard.
Best answer wins the tickets. Please leave your answers both as comments AND in emails to Zack@thenewgay.net. Entries must be in by noon this Thursday, Nov. 13th.
First time here? See what we're all about... Get involved... Send us a tip!...
i want free tickets to amy ray because lucy stoners don’t need boners. and if you are going ask why a doctor of philosophy needs such a long beard, maybe just take a look at a poster of rasputin or, better yet, go Stag to your Prom and make sure you bend that gender.
i want free tickets to amy ray not because she’s my idol and may or may not be the reason i date women sometimes, but because she puts it out for good. she loves community radio in salt lake city, she’s from atlanta (like me) where she had a sex education without a word for her gender, but mostly because her brother spit on the preacher’s clean shirt while she played the mandolin and because all the kids are hip hip hoppin.
Thanks, Annie. Could you email me that answer as well so I know how to reach you?
Zack!
What’s the deal with these tickets? I am going to enter to win them, not for me but for my ladyfriend who is going to be in DC this weekend. Although I won’t be able to attend the show with her (I’ll be incarcerated by my education) I WILL provide you of an ordinal list of reasons why I ought to win these tickets, which I will then pass on to her:
1. The puzzle of why a doctor of philosophy requires a long beard has often vexed me. Furthermore, as a future doctor of philosophy this question has been especially important. That said, I imagine that a doctor of philosophy has such a long beard in order to prove that he is, in fact, a man. It is the masculine equivalent of an a female professor’s “anthropology scarf”. You know what I am talking about.
2. Aforementioned ladyfriend currently lives in Pakistan and is in the grand ol’ US of A right now for a little rest and relaxation. Seeing Amy Ray would be the best icing on a cake ever conceived of before she flies back to the Big P on Saturday. Providing such an unparalleled opportunity for her strikes me as more than ample reason.
3. Let’s just say that there are spillover benefits entailed in the possibility of having my hot little hands on two tickets to see Amy Ray that I will then pass on to her. Anybody with a girlfriend knows exactly what I am talking about. Enough said.

Dear Billy from Family Circus,
Well, I guess recognizing that you have a problem, and asking for help, is the first step toward recovery. And Billy, do you have a problem! I’ve often seen the odd ballet that is one of your “busy afternoons” in the Sunday paper… and a more powerful advertisement for ADHD medication, I’ve not encountered. Before I turn you loose on the city like some methed-out Texas soccer mom, though, I feel compelled to ask… are these children you want to spend time with your own? Or is maybe your desire to take other people’s children to the mountains in some way related to your doctor’s visit? Not that I’m judging, these details just help me to better advise.
If a quaint mountain town is what you’re looking for… with a plethora of water features (rivers, fountains, baptismal bowls… all good places to absolve your sins); then might I suggest taking a 90 minute drive to West Virginia. To a little town I like to call Fine (although state maps like to call it Charles Town). There are plenty of children in Fine. Plenty of toothless, red-headed, hillbilly children who may or may not even be noticed if they were to go missing… I’m just saying. Heading north on I-270, then west on 340, will get you closer to Fine. Once you cross into WV, I suggest just asking locals for directions. And GPS reception out there is very shoddy, so the less you seek your Garmin for some definitive, the closer you’ll be to Fine. Good luck, Billy. Enjoy your afternoon abductions… err, adventures. Make sure to check out Charles Town Races and Slots afterwards! Their bars are open until 3AM… you might seek solace in a bottle, or possibly… well, you know :)
