We have a pair of tickets to see the great Tinariwen at the Grog Shop on Tuesday.
Robert Plant loves the world-music group from the Sahara Desert. So do TV on the Radio and some guy in Wilco. You can read more about them in our concert preview.
If you want a chance to win the tickets, tell us something about the Sahara Desert. Anything.
We’ll pick a winner first thing Monday morning.
You have to come to our office in beautiful downtown Cleveland to pick up the tickets.

IT’S HUGE
Discovered by a blind Inuit explorer in nineteen-diggity-two, the Sahara “Desert” is actually a misnomer. In reality the Sahara is a lush African rainforest, boasting over half a million plant and animal species. Tourists regularly flock to the Sahara on “yeti-hunting” expeditions, which rake in hundreds of billions of dollars for the eleven countries which the “desert” spans. Hunting man has been legal in the Sahara since 1953.
