Hope your Wednesday is going better than the guy outside my window currently trying to squeeze a Cybertruck into a parking spot built for compact cars. This can’t end well.

I’m offering you a much smoother night on Lansdowne: Tash Saltana hits MGM Music Hall next week and we’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs. Enter to win (and maybe leave the Cybertruck at home for this one).
