Spin party winner!
It was a very tough choice, but the pair of passes to see X, Vampire Weekend, Raveonettes and more at Stubb’s Friday goes to Emily Thompson Payne. Here’s the winning entry:
I packed my patent leather,
my pleated skirts, and khaki pants,
and went to grad school at Columbia
seeking indie prep acceptance.
But my timing was too early.
Vampire Weekend were still adolescents.
They’re my long-lost indie prep soul mates.
Those other fans don’t stand a chance.
Back home here in Austin
Drag rats mock my appearance.
They drown out my heart’s Afro Pop beat
with judgmental silence.
My kwassa kwassa would shake Stubbs’ walls
to see the Spin party performance.
If only you’ll tell me you agree
those other fans don’t stand a chance.
