This is for the A.R.M.Y! I wanted to do something fun and special for you… and this is my (small) way of thanking you for giving such amazing feedback on my Rap Monster column and sharing it with hundreds of thousands of people. Thank you! Obrigida!
tldr: I am giving away some copies of my newspaper article and a copy of my book about the TV show, “Friends.” (Read the rest of this post for the details.)
A few weeks ago, I interviewed Rap Monster for my syndicated column, which runs weekly in publications across the United States (e.g. Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Orlando Sentinel etc.). The interview ran online first.
And then this past weekend, it was published in my hometown newspaper, the Chicago Tribune:
The interview was edited for space in the newspaper, but the longer version is archived on my website here.
One of the bits that didn’t make it into the print version was a conversation that Rap Monster and I had about the NBC sitcom, “Friends.” Nam-Joon said his mother was responsible for him learning to speak English so well. She bought him DVDs of the series so that he could immerse himself in the English language.
Coincidentally, I wrote the first book about the TV show. We talked a bit about our love of “Friends.” Here’s a snippet of that conversation:
Anyhow… I had promised Nam-Joon that I would send him my book and a copy of the newspaper article.
I thought it would be fun to do the same for a member of the BTS A.R.M.Y.
So here’s what I’m offering:
🔺I will send one (1) winner the same package that I am shipping to Nam-Joon — my “Friends” book and the Chicago Tribune newspaper article. (That’s my son in the photo above, checking out the items that I will send to Rap Monster.)
🔺Five (5) runners up will get the newspaper article that ran in the Chicago Tribune.
All winners will be picked at random via Rafflecopter and announced on Monday, June 19, 2017.
BTW, at the end of our interview, I mentioned to Rap Monster that my son had wanted to skip part of school so that he could sit in on the interview. I said, “No.” 😛
This contest is open to everyone. I will personally ship the prizes worldwide. The packages should reach U.S. residents within 7 to 10 business days. It could take up to 4 weeks or more to reach fans overseas.
In the event that one of the winners doesn’t respond within 48 hours, an alternate runner up may be selected.
Please note that I am not responsible for lost packages or returned mail.
Also, as you can see from my website, I don’t accept advertisements or monetize my page in any way. So any information that you input will be used solely for this giveaway. You will not be added to any mailing lists (I don’t even have one!😂) or contacted unless you are one of people who have won a prize.
Have fun! I wish I could send something to every single one of you. Truly!
📌 ETA: Unfortunately, I don’t have enough tearsheets to send to all the A.R.M.Y. members. But, would you like a .pdf file of the column? If so, you may view (or download) it here (for free).
Thank you ♥ 고맙습니다 ♥ Obrigada ♥ ありがとうございました ♥ Gracias ♥ 谢谢 ♥ Terima kasih ♥ धन्यवाद ♥ Salamat ♥ Tack
