Nelly Performs For Free

For those of you that live here in Atlanta, it's just been announced that Nelly will be performing a free concert here Aug. 19, at the Tabernacle. Even though I'm not a Nelly fan, I just might hit this little event up... simply because it's FREE!

The show is part of the second annual Samsung AT&T Summer Krush concert series, where in addition to being able to see such notables as Mariah Carey, LeAnn Rimes and the Smashing Pumpkins for nothing, the sponsor hopes to entice you into one of their interactive phone booths to try out the Samsung Blackjack II.

The local radio stations V-103 and 95.5 The Beat are giving out tickets to listeners, but you can also sign up for them HERE.
