Lost Gold

Ever wondered what conquistadisco is? Unfortunately, we're not really at liberty to tell you; and in fact, we wish we knew ourselves. Looks like all eyes and ears will be on the five men of Lost Valentinos when they hit our town Friday August 21. In the midst of their nationwide tour for their upcoming LP Cities of Gold they'll be stopping by to shake our bones and psych out our dance floors like never before. And with the help of special guests Ghostwood, this show is sure to send you running straight from the floor of Academy to a synth store nearby. With three double passes up for grabs all you have to do is shoot us an email explaining your best disco moves.

with your name, phone number and address to see if you can pick up yourself a one of these.

More Free goodness...

	Paper Soldier Double Passes: It's Only a Paper Moon You know those really lame as hell Hollywood films where there's always a guy in love with a girl and he gets caught in an awkward situation and you spend two hours and $15 only to learn that despite your optimism it was a) a waste of money b) a waste of your time and c) a story you've seen a million times before? Paper Soldier might just knock you off your 'seen one, seen them all' pedestal. It's a love story alright, except its got space cadets, a mission to the moon, a medical officer, Kazakhstan (sans Borat) AND the Soviet Union. Arc are giving away five double passes for either the Thursday August 20 session or the Sunday August 23 session. To score, tell us what you'd do if you were back in the USSR!
