My thanks go to all 100+ of you who entered to win tickets in our very first giveaway yesterday — I really wish we could’ve given everyone passes to see The National! We had so many fun summertime ideas submitted, from Coney Island skeeball to swimming at the barge pool. And when it came to choosing the giveaway winner, random.org chose Cher who loves to go for early runs at Prospect Park and browse through the stands at the Brooklyn Flea before checking out the vintage stores in Park Slope. Sounds lovely!
Also lovely was the show at Radio City Music Hall last night. After meeting up with Cher to give her the tickets, we all quickly found out that we were in for a treat. The National played a wide variety of new songs and old hits alike to the sold-out crowd. Sufjan Stevens and St. Vincent’s Annie Clark also made cameo appearances, and the audience was loving it. Check out Brooklyn Vegan for the setlist and more commentary about the show, and below for more photographs!

Sweet live shots, Jill. That last spotlight-drenched shot is particularly awesome.

I love the second row aisle shot – feels like I was just there. Thanks to Random.org for liking me and you guys for the tickets. The National was exactly what I expected: amazing. Thank you. See you around.
