On Tuesday we posted a haiku contest to give away a single pair of tickets to see The XX at the Merriam on Monday. The response was pretty amazing, and choosing was hard. Before we get to the winner, let's look at our favorite runners up:

x x in the fall heart beats anticipation the end of it all by JMo

lower case xx watch big love on VCR adjust the tracking by Pilgrim

To see you and me finaly sets my mind free place me in honor. by Christine

Delicate noise play I dont want to ever go My heart skips a beat by mekma

The XX will play Finally somewhere with seats Maybe I'll have one by HighStrungLoner

minimalism is sexy; solid grooves stick in your mind for weeks by matthew

crystalline shelters starry notes sprinkled among mercury islands by ben

And the winner:

'i can't give it up' cold shoulder sticky with sweat xx: xxx by mim

Congratulations, mim! We'll contact you soon about ticket arrangements! The XX plays Mon., Oct. 4, 8 p.m., $25-$33.50, with Warpaint and Zola Jesus, Merriam Theatre, 250 S. Broad St., keswicktheatre.com.
