And the Winners Are . . .

  • Sep. 1st, 2007 at 8:40 AM

First: Let me thank you all for playing. You all have some handsome hosiery!

Second: Ernst and Young were unavailable to oversee the legitimacy of this drawing, but rest assured that the drawing was completely on the up and up -- supervised my my kids Young and Even Younger. Each of you was assigned one number for the first drawing and a second for the other. Then we used this: Random Number Generator . And the winners are:




and





Can you believe it? For all the funky socks out there, the winners are black and white? But you godda admit -- these are some great photos!

So [info]slatts and [info]nancy_v, here's what you do. Go to my website: www.lindaurbanbooks.com and send me an email through the Contact section. Tell me where you'd like to have your book, socks, and cd sent and I'll package them up this week and get them to you. If either of you will be using your book as a gift for a kid, let me know and I'll send you kid-sized socks instead.

Thanks everyone for playing!

How fun!

Sorry I missed the contest - I had good intentions, but well, you know where those end up ...

We came home from a short trip last night, and I considered my socks (ones w/ kitties on them, pink ones w/ herbs on them ((??)), red and green reindeer ones, and the prosaic white or black ones) ...

Then I took a nap.

Drat! I didn't even get a chance to enter! My fault for misplacing the camera.

Looking forward to reading the book just the same. Have heard such good things!

Congratulations to Kevin and Nancy -- and how funny that none of the silly socks won. I guess the universe knew who needed the stripey toe socks the most!

Another set of black and white "winners"
Just saw these on boingBoing (http://www.boingboing.net/2007/08/31/anatomical-kneesocks.html), Had. To. Share.

skeletal socks: Where (http://www.allheart.com/accss26akl.html) you can buy em. I rushed here the very minute I saw 'em to post for you, Linda.

OMGROFLOL.

Oh, the post I was threatening to do talking about your wonderful writer workshops at Vromans has been up (http://www.2020hindsight.org/2007/08/25/i-miss-vromans-summer-writer-workshops-run-by-linda-urban/) for a few days... I took hard copy to the store as a very strong hint, hint.

Re: Another set of black and white "winners"
Wonder how your note was recieved...
Thanks for the lovely write-up on your blog. It was sort of strange to look back at those photos. I thought it would feel like so long ago, but it doesn't. I love where I'm at, but I miss that job, too.
Maybe I'll see you at my signing in October? Now, that will feel weird.

"Do Ya Think I'm Sox-y, Come on Sugar, Let Me Know..."
I find black and white hosiery most sox-y.

Congratulations to two LJ friends who knock MY socks off: Hurrahs for Kevin and Nancy! You really know how to put your foot down and win things, don't you?

P.S. to Nancy: Now you've had luck with SOCKS and ROCKS. ;> (You don't like, er, lox, perchance, do you?) {}

-Pamela, wishing Linda much happiness, sales, and sox-cess {}
