3 Pairs of Tickets to see the ultra-rare Rolling Stones documentary Charlie is My Darling at The Rio Theatre!
"I'm a Paul!"
If you're a fan of music, film, and pop culture history you are not going to want to miss tonight's show at The Rio. Charlie is My Darling is the rarely seen documentary shot during the Stones' two city tour of Ireland in 1965. Conceived by their manager Andrew Oldham as something of a necessity after the massive success and impact of The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night, the film was completed in 1966 and is as much a montage of footage as it is a documentary. Mick imitates Elvis, Charlie is "practically incoherent," Bill claims he's just "in a band," and Keef is a young man brimming with health, vigor, and possibility (relatively speaking).
Keef and Andrew fooling around.
In attendance to present the midnight screening on Saturday is Andrew Oldham, who, in addition to being the Rolling Stones' manager in the 1960s was also their mentor and the PR mastermind behind much of their early work. Oldham encouraged them to start writing their own material and effectively manipulated their "bad boy" image (in contrast to that other British super group).
Up for grabs are three pairs of tickets to Saturday's very special and ultra-rare screening, and one $20 concession tab. (I have been advised that the concession tab is only good for Saturday and will self-destruct if not used.)

At 12:00 noon today a trivia question will be tweeted from @VIAGiveaways. The first person to tweet the correct answer wins the $20 tab and a pair of tickets! The 2nd and 3rd correct tweeters will get a pair of tickets to Saturday's show.
