I knew it was gonna be tough to beat last year’s winners for this classic sign in Shaw.
Congrats to anonymous with:
“S&M where the other half goes.”
But my two favorites remain:
From Binkelsworth:
“You can’t beat our service – that’s extra.”
and from Pennywise:
“Sameer and Merkesh, new arrivals from Tunisia, never did quite understand why their business failed and why their clientele was so damn weird.”
A reader writes, “Have you ever seen this on 11th St, NW? The jokes just write themselves.”
Indeed this was an early caption contest post from Feb. ’09. But since we’ve a lot more readers now than two years ago I’ll give it another shot. At the time I selected the following winners:
So this week’s winner is from IHeartShaw:
“Don’t be a slave to just your looks.”
Runner up from Binkelsworth:
“You can’t beat our service – that’s extra.”
Honorable mention from Pennywise:
“Sameer and Merkesh, new arrivals from Tunisia, never did quite understand why their business failed and why their clientele was so damn weird.”

For those of you bold enough to admit that you love glam rock this is for you. Enter your favorite glam rock band/memory for a chance to win two tickets. I’ll pick a winner Monday.
No, youʼre not having flashbacks. These intensely vivid heavy metalmemories youʼre about to experience will ignite in 2011. Kix, Warrant, LA Guns, Whitesnake, Tesla and Lita Ford will be among the acts taking over Merriweather Post Pavilion, playing full sets of their glam rock and heavy metal hits, along with other unexpected amazements.
In its third year, I.M.P. Presents M3 Rock Festival will add a Kick Off Party and Concert featuring full sets, since one day alone canʼt contain all this metal. The Official M3 Kix-Off Party will get things started Friday, May 13 at 7pm. The full-blown 2011 M3 Rock Festival begins Saturday, May 14 at Noon. Last year VIP and Pavilion seats sold out faster than you could flick your Bic, so headbangers hoping to get close enough to smell the sweat will want to be at their computers Thursday, Feb 3 at 10am EST for the insiders pre-sale. Only members of M3 Rockersʼ Forum will be given the pre-sale promo code. Fans can sign up for the Rockersʼ Forum here.
Discounted 2-Day Packages will go on sale to the general public Friday, Feb 4 at 10am EST. If there are any tickets remaining as of March 4 , they will go on sale as Single-Day tickets at 10 am EST through Ticketfly. Tickets can also be purchased at the Merriweather and 9:30 Club Box Offices. For more information, visit here.
