Thank you for participating in our contest.

The results are in and the esteemed panel of judges has taken the unprecedented step of awarding not one but TWO pairs of tickets to tonight's amazing rock show at Neumos. Contestants Christine Mitchell and Brian Barker will both be going (with guests) to see Bod, Draemhouse, Nightmare Fortress, and, of course, the band whose name provided the motor of the contest, Thunderpussy.

As the winning entries demonstrate, there is a wide spectrum of approaches to verbalizing the magic compound word, from the full-throated, seasonally-themed approach of Ms. Mitchell:

In any case, there's only one response to seeing them play: Whoa.

In fact, every band on this bill deserves loud proclamations, so here's hoping that both winners, and all the rest of you (who are, to be sure, ALSO WINNERS), get there in time for the 8pm doors. And thanks to all who entered the contest.

Enjoy the show, and have a tolerable Thanksgiving!
