Tor.com Meetup Giveaway

Tor.com meetup science fiction dance party!

We're about to head off to the Tor.com meet-up for some serious sci-fi dance partying but before we do we want to hold a free swag giveaway to anyone who can't make it to the meetup tonight. (Geez, why don't they just rename me Swaggy the Rocket...)

Leave a comment (no duplicates!) below before noon EST, Wednesday 11/10 and one randomly chosen recipient will receive a swag bag of books, comics, zombie games, buttons, and more! Here's a blurry picture of it!

Can it be a post about anything? Like a post about supporting UK horror by visiting http://www.twistedtalesevents.blogspot.com or following on Twitter @MorbidJackanory

Can a shameless plug enter me into the competion? Please?

112. Fenric25
Ah, what a great combination- a hilarious picture of the Master and a grand and glorious gift-bag giveaway (zombie dice, Martin and Moorcock, yay!),...alas, I am more than likely to not win the grab-bag, as I rarely win anything, but I'll still post anyways. You never know, might get lucky. More likely to get eaten by something hideous with slimy tendrils, though...I work retail, so this is very likely, especially with Black Friday coming up (shudders...)

I suffer from social anxiety
And in public I tend to speak quietly
It's a trait I abhor
But I can't attend, Tor
I'd have to dismiss my sobriety.
