"Congratulations! You are each the second place winners in the Love and Rockets Giveaway contest. You will each receive a copy of Locas and Palomar, and your paragraphs may be printed in whole or in part in Love and Rockets #15."
Woohoo! I won! I WON!!
...second place.
My friend Ggreg won third place.
I urge you, even if you wuz a little kid in the 80s, to read Love and Rockets. That is, if you like comics, punk rock, pretty girls, and... uh, well, the whole West Coast thing.
I'm a big fan. I even had Los Bros. sign my leather jacket at a signing.
They were all like "How we gonna sign your jacket, you weird dude?"*
And I wuz like, "Hey man, I got it covered. I got white permanent markers. Huah hual hauh!"
An' they wuz like, "Oh, pret-ty cool man. OK"
An' they signed it. Cool. 'Course nobody but a hardcore comics reader in the 80s would know what those sigs were...
I let 'em keep the markers.
Totally threw that jacket away in a move.
Hey, waitaminute! Something's wrong here. The contest web page says First Place gets the two honkin' huge hardcover volumes. YAAAAYYYY! I won FIRST PLACE! Shoot, I can't even remember what I wrote. I don't remember there being a PG version and an R version. What th'...?! I gotta go buy that issue and see what I wrote.
