If you don’t pick me, I will hire someone to follow you around while singing “Tesla Girls”!

I hope I win for my birthday!
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:28 am
please please please play “Almost.” I’ll just die if they don’t!

I need to win because If You Leave was supposed to be the last song at our wedding but my husband’s uncle bribed the DJ to play Donna Summer’s Last Dance instead. I will forever be damaged from that event and the only cure is to see OMD at 9:30!

I often play my cello in the dark.
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:41 am
I believe your tweet indicated you have some tickets for me? :)
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:44 am
Hopefully I’ll win!
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:46 am
Can’t wait! Hope I win!
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:49 am
This show would be so much fun! Hope I win!
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:54 am
I should *so* win because I’m a Scouse in DC, so it’ll make me feel like I’m at home, listening to them talk.
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:55 am
I’d also like to win, if’n you’d be so inclined as to let me.
March 2nd, 2011 at 10:12 am
pick me :)

In May of 1988, in the days before cell phones, I listened to OMD from outside the entrance at Merriweather while waiting for a friend who was at the other entrance. They sounded great but I want to see them this time up close at the 9:30 Club.
March 2nd, 2011 at 10:16 am
that would be a fun blast from the past show. thanks we love dc.

I have a fondness for OMD because “If You Leave” closed out my favorite movie “Pretty in Pink.”
March 2nd, 2011 at 10:42 am
How cool that they are touring! Love these giveaways (and the blog, too).
March 2nd, 2011 at 10:49 am
I would LOVE to see OMD. A band that reminds me of my early days working at Commander Salamander in Georgetown in the early 80’s.
March 2nd, 2011 at 10:53 am
I would love to hear them play “If You Leave” live.
March 2nd, 2011 at 10:53 am
OMG! It’s OMD!
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:01 am
Thanks for the weekly giveaways :)

I last saw them opening for Thompson Twins in West Palm Beach, Florida in the 80s – would love to see them again now!
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:06 am
Followed them in the 80’s but never saw them live. Hint hint.
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:20 am
I’ve never heard of them but that is probably the coolest name for a band I’ve ever heard so I would be thrilled to go see them!
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:30 am
sounds great!
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:36 am
Turn to Stone is my ringtone. Need I say more?
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:38 am
Sounds awesome!
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:54 am
I will be crossing every ocean for the sake of Locomotion if you Call My Name for a pair of tickets to O.M.D. at the 9:30 Club.
March 2nd, 2011 at 12:00 pm
would be great to go.
March 2nd, 2011 at 12:15 pm
OMD eeeeek please pick me!!!!
March 2nd, 2011 at 12:31 pm
Hi. I’d love to get these tickets. My girlfriend will like me more.
March 2nd, 2011 at 12:32 pm
Last time I was at 9:30 I was on the other side looking out. It would be great to be in the audience again.
March 2nd, 2011 at 12:50 pm
awesome
March 2nd, 2011 at 1:22 pm
I need more 80s music in my life. As a child born in that era, I’ve been very negligent of it’s music.
Please pick me!
March 2nd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I’m glad the criterion is “random” and not “clever” – I’d really like to win!
March 2nd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Please!! *begs*
March 2nd, 2011 at 1:58 pm
OMD … OMG

March 2nd, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Here.
March 2nd, 2011 at 3:32 pm
One of my favorite 80s bands and I’ve never seen them live. Excited that they’re back!
March 3rd, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Pick me, I’m a huge fan!
