For those of you who haven't heard, we are having a crazy special show with The Godfathers on February 14th. The Godfathers' Saint Valentine's Day Massacre is obviously ON Valentines Day and will be an amazing night for a special breed of lovers. We at Metro want to show you we understand with a fun little giveaway that, believe me, is reserved for only the most special of events.

Here's the deal. In the spirit of Cupid we would like to set up a few couples (or friends) with a coveted "VIP Upgrade" that includes a reserved table in our cozy balcony. To top it off, these lucky couples are going to get some "extra love" from the bar in the form of a complimentary round of drinks. Not too shabby huh? How do you enter to win?

We're not going to toy with your heart and make you jump through hoops. All you have to do to be eligible is buy tickets before next Wednesday the 11th. Seriously. Buy your tickets now and there's a good chance you could win the upgrade. Keep in mind that if you already bought tickets, you've already been entered to win. Nice Job. Good Luck Folks.

This week we announced a mess of new Spring shows that all go on sale this Saturday at noon:

  • Peter Bjorn and John - April 23
  • Superdrag - April 25

    I don't know if you noticed, but the Dan Deacon show is only 10 bucks. I bet you're thinking, "Ahh man, I hope I can get my ticket before they sell out." Well, if you've signed up for Metro text messaging by texting METRO to 46786 or going here, you'd automatically get texts that include stuff like pre-sale passwords to upcoming shows. Not sayin', just sayin'.

    One of our favorite non-profits, Rock For Kids, is holding it's 6th annual Music Mixer tomorrow in from 7-11PM.

    Sooo, what's a Music Mixer, you ask? If you've ever wanted to know what the staff at Metro or
    Threadless would put on a mix CD or if you're curious as to what bands like The Redwalls listen to when they're not on stage, this is the place to be. Join Rock For Kids as they mingle AND auction off CDs made by members of Chicago's music community.



    You have to be 21 to get in and it's Free to get in (though a small door donation is suggested...come on, it's for the kids!!).
