'Gum Drop Giveaway #111

One winner gets a deluxe bundle which includes ON/IN/AT, new CD Sainthood (out 10/27 on Sire), and a limited edition, handmade, one of a kind Rorschach ink blot created and signed by Tegan and Sara. Some info on the books:

ON/IN/AT is a three-book set that chronicles different time periods over a year in the lives of Tegan and Sara with writing and photographs: the 2008 US national tour, a joint writing session in New Orleans in the fall of 2008 and their 2009 Australian headlining tour.

The deluxe edition with the Rorschach is sold out -- Stereogum is giving away the very last one -- but you can learn how to otherwise procure ON/IN/AT at teganandsara.com.
