Sonic Lunch organizer Matthew Altruda said about 4,000 people have entered the Facebook giveaway, from all over the world. But the main focus is on local giveaways, to allow the Ann Arbor community the most participation. Giveaways are announced one hour ahead of time via Facebook and Twitter.
Tuesday saw a giveaway at Liberty Plaza in downtown Ann Arbor. Altruda planned to give away 80 wristbands at today's stop.
The concert takes place June 13 at the Michigan Theater. Those who get a "Crissband" must be in line by 10:45 to be guaranteed a spot. Theo Katzman opens the show at 11:30 a.m., followed by Criss.
University of Michigan graduate Criss has become a major performing name, thanks to his starring role on TV's "Glee." He's currently on tour, but the Ann Arbor concert is the only free show.
Watch for an interview with Criss later this week on AnnArbor.com.
The other Sonic Lunch shows are outside at Liberty Plaza and do not require wristbands. The series kicks off this Thursday with a special appearance by Martha Reeves, for which Libery Street will be closed at Division.

So, if I show up today for Sonic Lunch can I get a wristband?

Might be an issue, since the first Sonic Lunch of the season is tomorrow.
