  1. Shucks, but I think your contest will make me go buy it. Lots of free time lately in SE Michigan for reading, thanks for the fun (and making me pull out the TW stuff for Eldon and Max). Your video reminds me of diapers and Max crying, those were the days. Now it is “But he did it!” and “But Why!”, my 8 and 9 year old teenagers, can’t wait for the drivers licenses. I’m not complaining though, what would I do with out my rhythm section. Congrats on the great gig, fantastic illustrating.

  2. You guys are absolutely awesome! No cheating, as far as I can see (Don’t know what Barry did after he hid the paper-rolls from the camera, but hey! Let’s show a little trust here, people!).

    Just save some of the cards for the little person who drew all the winners!

    Thank you for doing this, it has been fun to watch!

  3. Congratulations to all the winners!
    As an inveterate, but non-repentant, loser, might I inquire as to whether this delicious tome is available in English?
    (I mean, I had to go to a free translation site just to make sure I had Guten Morgan correct, after all…)
    If so, it goes on the Christmas wish list now!

    It is: http://tinyurl.com/d2ezoq (Wild Years: The Music and Myth of Tom Waits by Jay S. Jacobs). Comes without any of the fabulous illustrations but with photographs (yawn).

    😉

  5. Thanks, Lucas, for picking my name. You are, indeed, one mighty munchkin (such a grip you have: I’m surprised your papa Barry has any facial hair left). Wonderful video, too. Reminds me of all those 3AM feedings with my own son — he wouldn’t fall back asleep unless we listened to at least one side of Uncle Meat. Makes me wonder, Sharleena & Barry, what lullaby soothes your mighty munchkin in the small wee hours?

    Congratulations to the fellow winners!

    No KUR (I use this like a DBA for Barry & Sharl) illustrations? Ah fuck.
    I still want to read it and it still goes on the Christmas list, but…
    What the hell were they thinking?

  7. (Almost got that quote right… I’m getting warmer!
    It won’t be long and I will be quoting submitters correctly and appropriately all over the place.
    Boy are you kids in trouble!)

  8. Nice job Lucas! Even if I wasn’t picked. I have to say I had a big smile on my face during the whole video. You have quite a charming little family. Sounds effect & all.
    Congrats to all the winners! And cheers to Barry & Sharleena!

  9. I have to say Barry, who was in charge of opening the paper rolls, only had a rusty old cutter poisoned with rabbies virus and curare to do so, and even then he managed to only get a small cut in one finger with no serious consequences up to this moment. Also, we actually hired a notary for the event but, too bad, he stayed all the time in the toilet…

    Thanks everybody for participating!! Till next book!!

  10. Ha, that was great!
    Dammit, was I close to winning the book…haha! And I would’ve understand German!!
    But I am truly thankful for the postcards!
    Cheers,

  11. hm.. I’ve been following thin thingy with a bit of an envy, not knowing Tom Waits too much.
    Okay, but now can’t wait(s) for the next METALLICA contest!!! 😀

  12. Serves me right for not coming to KUR very much lately…

    Nice video Barry and Sharl

  13. Recieved the postcards today, they are really beautiful!
    Thank you so much, guys!!
    Cheers,
    M.R.
