Remember how cool it was when we did that meet+greet with Peter of Peter Bjorn and John @ The Gibson Guitar showroom?
Can you imagine how EXTRA cool it will all be if instead of 1/3 of PB&J you get to meet ALL 8 MEMBERS OF "OF MONTREAL", eat lunch, drink free vitaminwater and listen to their new album "False Priest" the day it comes out?
I know, your head is sort of spinning. Just thinking of Kevin Barnes in his daytime casual wear is almost too much.
Anyway, on Tuesday, September 14th, BYT is partnering up with Of Montreal (who will be in DC for their two shows @930 club), Gibson Guitar showroom, Melody Records, Sweetgreen and vitaminwater to bring you exactly what we described above:
- starting at 12:30pm, the first 100 people to buy Of Montreal's "False Priest" at 709 G Street (Gibson guitar showroom location) get to go upstairs, hang out with the band, get their records signed, score some free beverages/buttons/t-shirts etc. ALL PERTINENT DETAILS CAN BE FOUND HERE.
pretty sweet, right? hopefully it turns out something like this:
The only thing that could make it sweeter would be if you got to swoop past the line, cruise on up, and get a free lunch to boot (thanks Sweetgreen).
So-we have 10 spots of this VIP treatment to give away + one grand prize winner who, on top of said VIPERness also gets the following prize pack:
- 1 False Priest CD
- 1 Early Four Track LP
- 1 Skeletal Lamping CD
- 1 Hissing Fauna LP
- A grab bag of promotional CDs from ADA.
For a chance to win please leave a comment letting us know who you're desperately gay for (or straight for, if you're, you know gay) and we'll let the winners know by Friday COB so you can plan your Tuesday lunch breaks accordingly.
COOL?
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adrian Fenty is a sexy beast
Jenny Lewis is the only woman I would ever have sex with.

I'm desperately gay for Sarah Shahi.
id swoon for dreamy dreamy josh hartnett.

I'm totally straight for Jesus who is gay for me!! Match made in "heaven?"
straight for justin bieber (call me when you're 18!).
we have the same lesbian haircut.
I'm so straight for KEVIN BARNES!!!! Although I bet any time spent with him would feel homosexy.
Like so many men before me Id go gay for david bowie
Gay for Morrissey. Slightly ashamed to fall into that cliche, but since I was the first to mention it, do I get first dibs? (I would guiltily settle for sloppy Morrissey seconds, nonetheless).
i would love a vicky cristina barcelona:
gay/straight combo: penélope cruz, scarlett johansson + javier bardem a la mode
I'd go/am gay for Zooey Deschanel.
I would totally switch hit (or perhaps even don a catcher's glove) for Mr. Lou Reed. Anytime, any place, anywhere...in front of my father on Christmas morn even! Would. Not. Care. That's precisely how gay I'd go to win a date with my Coney Island baby, Lewis Allen Reed.
Is it bestiality if I'd go gay for Chewbacca?
ArchAndroid Janelle Monae (see how I tied my answer in with the event?)
161778 @PC: wait, I'm confused. As a gay man, am I supposed to be "straight" for Jesus? Alls I know is that he is totes gay for me!!!
I'm totally gay for Meg at 2birds1blog
Post- World Cup I'm totally gay for both Fernando Torres of Spain and Diego Forlan of Uruguay. They can make me the meat in a soccer sandwich any day.
I'm in love with Georgie Fruit, cause she's just a black she-male
Gay for Andrew WK. We can party hard all night.
Totally gay for Dottie. She tickles my ivories.
I would cage dance for Of Montreal. While being hosed down with champagne. Sounds pretty nice, actually. Can that be arranged at the lunch?
I'm totally ultra-uber-mega-flaming-gay for Zooey Deschanel. I can't help myself.
totally gay for Dottie! she tickles my ivories.
I'm gay for 1980s Val Kilmer.

okay of montreal, you have fans here on the west coast believe it or not, fans that their only life goal is to meet you and chat about how amazing you all are... but not all your concerts.... all our shows all your life is on the East coast.... i am aware that yall are from Georgia and all that good stuff but really do a meet and greet here with a girl named Lisa who is getting a tattoo for your amazing band and your wonderful way of expressing all emotions... It makes me sick, for 3 years now I have been E-mailing David for just some little tiny drawing for my tattoo and I get nothing... the only one of you Amazing 8 that is no longer with you (James) e-mail me back and that was really the best day of my life.... so please i beg you do this thing here in Cali at your Hollywood show... because don't worry even though its hard to pay my rent I am getting those tickets and i will be in the front row like i always am, and hopping and wishing you will play dotties song -the you I created. so go have a good time with these 100 ppl who would not have bought your cd in a store they would have downloaded it like the rest of America.
p.s: if i knew about your little meet and greet I would be in DC right now shopping for the perfect outfit to meet you in.... next time you do one of these teasers keep in mind the west coast you never visit.
161770 @Bradley: jenny lewis is one of my fave songs ever! >.<
Definitely gay for Tina Weymouth's dance moves in Talking Heads Stop Making Sense. Also, your mom.
Ok you guys. I pre-ordered this record back in June and have since listened to it every day since it's come in the mail about two weeks ago. It just so happens that I'm dragging my friend (who, by the way, I had to BEG to see oM with me) and my Dad all the way from Cleveland, OH to see oM at the 930 on Monday. We're driving from Cleveland specifically to see these guys play. When I saw this on my news feed on Facebook I just about had my own Abstract Black Male Domination Spasm-- In other words, I am about as gay as San Fransisco for Kevin.
I would totally be gay for Kate Winslet circa Titanic or Audrey Tautou.
Kevin Barnes is my hero. He inspires me to explore the finer points of my sexuality in ways I thought nobody ever could. He has exposed me to great literature and I have even gone so far as to style my hair after his. It would be a dream come true to meet him (also probably to sleep with him... I am a man... A straight man...).
Clearly I have thought about this way too much, as I really want to say Zooey Deschanel but I have a feeling that would be rather boring. So instead I choose Scarlett Johansson.
I am SOOO TOTALLY STRaIgT FOR GEMINI TACTICS she makes "my body blush" "only one whom i'd role play Oedipus Rex"!!!!!!!!
Alison Mosshart scares the shit out of me, in the I'd go gay for her sorta way.
I'd go gay for a quality hot dog.
I am straight for the girl I brought to your show. And she's straight for Kevin Barnes! fuck.
I am so completely gay for young Peter Orlovsky. We would just grow long beards and do bennies and jizz on eachother. When I got sick he would nurse me back to health and what not. And whoever else I wanted to sleep with, female or male, he'd be cool with that.
Peter, wish you were born a girl. And were not dead.
Shit, actually, I probably missed this.
Dottie Alexander
Your Dad sounds hottt! Would like to have MY own Abstract Black Male Domination Spasm all over his face. Let's get together after lunch here. And we have to get Kev Bear in on this, too. Don't invite @East Coast Again! though. That bitch sounds craaaazy!!! Fucking breeders...
Dragon rape, I want one.
gay for shakirrrrra
Gay: three-way: Me+ Jim Morrison + Syd Barrett= Hot Magic
i'm kind of asexual.
the bathroom mirror. i'd go both ways.
I already have all of that swag so I would give it away to people on the streets in hopes that one more person would know about of Montreal! I'd love to eat a sandwich with Kevin... @_@
