• Elf yourself. Bring a toy.

Brandi Carlile is coming to town tonight for two intimate shows at the Tower Theatre. And if you read our article this week in the Source, you know she cares a lot about others.

To that end, tonight’s shows will also double as a toy drive for Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation. Simply bring an unwrapped toy, still in the packaging, and volunteers will be onsight to collect it. Carlile is also promising a special gift for each of her fans who donate tonight.

Just don’t bring in something evil like that breakdancing Mickey Mouse doll. That thing’s blank stare creeps us out.
