For those of you whose town I won't come to on my book tour, do come by the Second Life reading?

And check the book out on Amazon: amzn.to/oEZsyS

Here's the deal: this Valentine's Day we want you to think of the Velvet and how much you love us. So we're announcing our first ever VD Day Photo Contest.

The best photo submitted to the Velvet's Flickr Group (get in that if you're not already) with that special VD day feel wins the following prize package:

* the glory of winning, obviously
* your photo will be displayed on the walls of the Velvet
* oh yeah and $1000L

Tag it with our group and submit your photo by midnight on 2/14/11. Show us your heart. Or your other parts. Whatever makes you feel like a winner.

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5 - Post it with this text in the "caption" and TAG the friends you want to join in.
