Show Preview: Too $hort at the Mohawk [Win Tickets]

We can all agree that Austin is a magical place, a margarita glass filled to the brim with music, art, food, kooky events, and civic pride. Simply walk out your front door and within minutes you've been invited to a party, handed a Lone Star tallboy, and struck up conversation with someone pleasingly attractive while a great band plays in the background. We're spoiled, really.

Unfortunately, our tasty cultural cocktail is lacking one key ingredient that would make us all that much more pleasantly buzzed. The missing element? Live hip-hop. So, thank god Too Short is coming to the Mohawk with some much needed seasoning for our rap-deprived city.

He's not going to be alone. A host of artists with intentionally oblique names will be coming out to aid him in what is sure to be a booty-bumping bacchanal to rival anything else going on this Saturday evening. Don't be the only rube in your duplex to not catch N/A Productions, Mutual Trust, Traygod, Global 74, Phranchyze (our favorite honorific, by far), Tee Double and their fearlessly famous leader crammed into the Mo' tomorrow night. For many of us, dulled numb by self-conscious indie, it will be an eye-opening experience. Straight up cold appreciatin'. Follow the jump for a chance to win tickets.
