Ed Norton will take you to see Radiohead in New York for $10

by Richard Howard

Do you care about the environment? Do you love Radiohead but don’t have it in you to battle scalper bots for tix? And do you love American History X/Fight Club star Edward Norton but, regretfully, your stalker game is weak? Well, have we got the deal for you.

Fact: Edward Norton loves the environment. He loves it so much, in fact, that he’s willing to let your boring ass hang out with him and his friends for an entire night. He’s partnered with nature protection non-profit Conservation International (CI) to offer a pretty appealing contest through his crowdsourcing site CrowdRise – by donating $10 to CI, you’ll receive an entry into the intelligently named “See Radiohead at Madison Square Garden with Edward Norton” draw.

The prize includes roundtrip airfare for two to New York, two nights in a hotel, two VIP tickets “with Edward Norton & Friends” to Radiohead at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday, a backstage meet and greet with Radiohead (while Edward and his friends give you thumbs ups!) and a limited edition vinyl box set of A Moon Shaped Pool signed by the band. And yep, they’ll fly you in from anywhere in Canada (even you, Moosejaw!).

Each $10 donated is a separate entry to the contest, so look for Conservation International to report record donations next quarter. Great cause, great prize – sounds like a no-brainer. I honestly hope I win just so I can start the night by asking Norton: “Hey, how did you like Mark Ruffalo in The Avengers? I think he’s doing a great job.”

The contest closes tonight, so, like, get on it, nerds.
