PEE BABY CONTEST RULES AND INFO







THE GREAT POP CULTURE REFERENCE KITTEN CONTEST

How to play: Acquire a copy of Kitten. This is easy if you already own it. If you don't own it, you can get it in paperback or Kindle version at Amazon.com, Bookdepository.com, and many other online venues. READ Kitten. Make notes of any pop culture references you find (explained below). These come in the form of references to lit, movies, music, television, etc. The people with the 5 highest scores WIN VALUABLE PRIZES. Hint: the majority of pop culture references are in Part II of the book. Submit your entries by midnight  November 1st, 2013. Winners will be announced in November.

How to make notes: Make a .doc or .rtf. Put your NAME and EMAIL address at the top.

Write down the page number and name of the piece of pop culture referenced. For instance, if you find a line from the Princess Bride on page 405 you would write: 405 - Princess Bride.

Put each reference on a separate line like this:
405 - Princess Bride
407 - The Wrath of Khan

See? It's easy. If you find multiple references to the same book/movie/etc. on different pages, mark it down as many times as you find it like this:

405 - Princess Bride
406 - Princess Bride
407 - Princess Bride

Also, be sure to mark at the top of your entry whether you have the PRINT or KINDLE version, as this may affect page numbers. I'm also not going to be too much of stickler about your references. If I can figure out what you are talking about and it applies, then you'll get credit.

What do you win?: 

The top 5 each win a Pee Baby T-shirt (in their choices of size) and a CD by my band The Animatronics.

 

First place receives a print copy of Kitten, signed by G. Arthur Brown. (But what if you already have a copy? Well, now you have a signed copy too. What if you have a signed copy already? Now you can give one to your grandmother.)
