Ladies, gentlemen, and spambots,

Want to have fun, help a TNB writer, and have a chance to win some great prizes?  Then enter the Totally Killer/TNB/Facebook sweepstakes.

It's easy.  And fun.  And good karma.  And you could win a $100 iTunes gift card.  Which is a lot of music for a few mouse clicks.


HOW TO ENTER

STEP 1.  Change your Facebook status to this:

It's "Totally Killer" week on Facebook.  Change your profile picture to one taken in 1991.


STEP 2.  Change your profile picture to one taken in 1991.


STEP 3.  On the Wall of the TNB Facebook page, post your answer to this question: "In exactly three words, tell us what you were doing in 1991."


That's it.  Easy.


HOW TO WIN

At 9pm Friday, EST, I will put the names of all the entrants (i.e., people who have posted on the Wall) in a (virtual) hat, and pick one at random.

The winner receives an autographed copy of Totally Killer, plus more fun stuff.

If there are 100 or more entrants, the winner also gets a $50 iTunes gift card.  If there are 500 or more entrants, the winner also gets a $100 iTunes gift card.

The more people we have in the sweepstakes, the bigger the prize.  So please spread the word!


SOME RESTRICTIONS APPLY

Really there aren't any restrictions.  Other than, you have to have a Facebook account, or you won't be able to post to the wall (sorry, Justin).

And yes, TNB writers are all eligible, except for me, Jonathan, and Brad, and only because that would look fishy.


Thanks for playing, and for your support.


Greg

I’m not on Facebook but I put up my ‘91 METAL look on Twitter for a while. Any excuse. And three words? I was BEING A STUDENT. Or GROWING MY HAIR.

Awesome! You’re one of those rare people who can pull off different looks. And yes, there is something Geddy-ish about your hair…

I read the first six pages of your book on Amazon. If I don’t win it, I’m going to buy it. I’m hooked.

Thanks, JBB. Really appreciate your comment.

That makes the whole thing worthwhile, it really does. That and all the fun photos from 1991…

Thanks, everyone, for helping with this. I really enjoyed TK week, and seeing what everyone looked like in ‘91.

You all rock.
