A little bit on the piano from Amanda & Brian: This Toy Piano was played by Amanda in the filming of Michael Pope's "Coin-Operated Boy" video in a scene which was sadly (because it also featured Thom Martin in nipple clamps and a fishnet bodystocking) deleted.
But that's not all! You'll also get...
- A pair of tickets to any headlining shows the winner will be traveling to on the next Dolls North American or European tour. That means if you are willing to do the traveling and foot your travel/food/lodging expenses, The Dolls will supply tickets for you to all headlining shows on the tour.*
- A copy of the new Dresden Dolls songbook, The Virginia Companion, personalized to you by Amanda and Brian.

Please Note: Though the CD is currently only scheduled for release in certain territories, you are allowed to enter no matter where you live. No matter where you're located on this damned planet, you're eligible -- please enter!

* We cannot guarantee to all shows on the tour because of the fact there are sometimes extenuating circumstances (i.e. a one off show opening for another band or on a festival), but we will do our best. We are not idiots, and we know that sometimes people run scams saying you can win tickets to multiple "participating" shows where the only participating show is in some random place no one in their right mind would actually travel to...this is not the case, we simply cannot guarantee admission if it is not DD's headlining gig to give away tickets for.

No purchase necessary to enter. To enter for your free chance to win please write and mail a single spaced 9 page essay comparing and contrasting the positive and negative effects of children believing in "Santa Claus" to: Bill H. C/O BRAT Marketing, P.O. Box 721, New Paltz, NY 12561.
