Now, technically this event is in Baltimore and not DC, so to make it feel a little bit more like home we’re gonna have a DC Haiku contest. All you have to do is send in your Haiku which can be about any aspect of DC whatsoever. It can be funny or serious, it can be a love note to BYT, it can be political, it can be about Ian MacKaye, it can be about Ben’s Chili Bowl, we don’t care. We’ll just just pick one we like in a week or so, and wham bam thank you ma’am you got two free tickets to Virgin Fest.

By the way, if you’ve forgotten, a Haiku has very simple rules: 1st line = 5 syllables 2nd line = 7 syllables 3rd line = 5 syllables Here’s a touching Virgin Fest themed Haiku to get you started: Virgins, none are there Groupies groove while roadies work Wind speaks of Branson

So, write one about DC and send it in to cale@brightestyoungthings.com along with your name, age, and address. If you’re one of our non-local readers or can’t make it to the party but still want to write one, feel free to throw it in the comments below, but if you want to be eligible you’ll have to email it in as well!
