So the Weezer Snuggie sold out in only a matter of days, but Wilco’s limited edition mini figurines are still available. Perhaps they need to lower the $49.94 asking price or invest in one of those WTF, blog bait infomercials. Either way (as Tweedy would say), the band will be unloading a few sets of figurines and a signed Gibson SG guitar in a haiku contest announced recently on their site.
Here are the deets:
To enter the contest, write a Wilco-themed Haiku and submit it either via Twitter and include the tag #wilcohaiku in your tweet or email it to us at haiku@wilcoworld.net
The Grand Prize is a Gibson SG (courtesy of our friends at Gibson) signed by the whole band.
Three First Place winners will receive a set of the WILCO UniPo figures, plus the Limited Edition Wilco 6-incher UniPo
Five Second Place winners will receive a copy of WILCO (the album) on vinyl in a Wilco tote.
The deadline is the day after Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday, so be sure to work your Wilco (the haiku) magic before the tryptophan sets in. And as a reference, I suggest the best Wilco lyric database on the web: A Sea Black with Ink.
