If you'd like to go and take a friend for free and nothing drop an email to [email protected] with 'Slim Twig Contest' in the subject line. Next monday we'll randomly pick the winner of two tickets to the CD release show and a free copy of the new CD.

Plus, everyone who enters or doesn't can have a free copy of Spit It Twig - the Slim Twig mixtape. (This actually has nothing to do with the contest.) Grab it at http://www.sendspace.com/file/gl64nz!

Anyone can enter the contest, but if you're not in Toronto we can't help you get here.
