August 14, 2012 | 10:30AM
Ben Gibbard will be playing at sixth & I on November 8th, and tickets don’t go on sale until August 17th. You can wait until then and buy the tickets, or you can try to WIN a pair for FREE.
All you have to do is leave a comment below (using your real email) saying why you would would have been better partner for him than Zooey Deschanel.
I’ll go first: I am charming, elegant and much more deserving of his love. Plus I listened to Death Cab for Cutie way back when.
The most creative answer wins!
Because I am anyone but Zooey Deschanel
Because I had freckles tattooed on my eyeballs to be mirror images of Benjamin Gibbard’s.
I would be the him to her she and I, unlike that that Gibbard fellow, would never leave her.
because i’m no manic pixie dreamgirl with fakey doll eyes
We would be more than lovers, we would connect on a spiritual level. Plus, we could have bro time and I’d come to every show!
Ok let’s be real. Who is better than Zooey Deschannel? She is funny, witty, she sings, and she’s pretty awesome all around. Really you should pick me to see sit Ben Gibbard only because I aspire to be as awesome and Ben might be able to give me some insights through some awesome DCFC tunes.
Because I won’t leave any lipstick on the filter.
Because I don’t need Siri to confirm that it’s raining when I’m looking out the window (and it’s clearly raining).
Because I’ve never starred in a music video called “She’s got Issues.” Duh, Ben — that’s what we call a “warning sign.”
Because we make a much better couple: http://brightojos.tumblr.com/post/29422693040
And she’s always been jealous of me: http://brightojos.tumblr.com/post/29422779212
Because I left my keys and broken dreams in a suburban town with nothing to do…. And I’ve packed a change of clothes & its time to move on and he can’t do better than me.
I’m better than Zooey because I despise squirrels + ice cream and I’ve been without bangs for a solid year and a half.
Because I’m not insufferably cute.
I’m just insufferable.
Because I’d follow him into the dark.
I love this.
B/C I’m too busy actually teaching children to bake cupcakes; I just eat cupcakes on a regular basis. B/C my favorite DCFC song is Transatlantism, not “whichever one was probably written about how cute I am.” B/C I’m sometimes mistaken for Natasha Leonne, not Katy Perry, but sometimes my boobs are mistaken for Katy Perry. B/C we both went to Northwestern, but I actually graduated.
Because I eat meat, fish, eggs, dairy, wheat and soy.
And because I’m a grown woman that doesn’t wear floppy bows in her hair.
Because I am real I mean come on Zooey is just a figment of our manic pixie girl dreams.
Because we’d canoodle underneath the sycamore.
