I'm pleased to announce the three finalists in our Outside Lands ticket contest! We asked you to post a photo that's quintessentially "summer" and pick an accompanying song from one of the artists performing at this year's Outside Lands in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, August 10-12. The line-up includes dozens of diverse acts, from Foo Fighters and Regina Spektor to Sigur Rós and Neil Young. There were so many evocative, moody, delightful, silly, and fun photos submitted to our contest that selecting the finalists was much harder than expected! The three finalists will each receive a Boing Boing t-shirt and one of them will win a pair of 3-day tickets for the festival, a $450 value. We'll post the winner on Friday! Thank you all for entering!
