 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.
