STEWART COPELAND

Donna can't log in (Eu, can you help the lovely lady?), but texted me to make sure folks over here know:

09.15.09 Win A Copy of ''Strange Things Happen: A Life With 'The Police', Polo and Pygmies''...

Courtesy of HarperStudio and Stewart Copeland we have ten signed galley copies of Stewart's forthcoming autobiography "Strange Things Happen: A Life with "The Police", Polo and Pygmies" to give away in a prize draw for Police.com members.

When Stewart Copeland gets dressed, he has an identity crisis. Should he put on 'leather pants, hostile shirts and pointy shoes?' Or wear something more appropriate to the 'tax-paying, property-owning, investment-holding lotus eater' his success has allowed him to become? This dilemma is at the heart of Copeland's vastly entertaining memoir-in-stories-that-could-be-told-over-a-meal, "Strange Things Happen". The world knows Copeland as the drummer for The Police, one of the most successful bands in rock history. But they may not know much about his childhood growing in the Middle East as the son of a CIA agent. Or his film-making adventures with the Pygmies in the deepest Congo. Or his passion for polo ('Brideshead Revisited on horses'). Stewart Copeland counts himself fortunate to have been the founder of the most played and successful trio of the 1980s. More recently he has travelled the world in search of exotic rhythms and musical celebration, from mysterious Easter Island to Mozambique, and from the outback of Australia to the remotest regions of the Congolese jungles.

For details of how to enter visit ThePolice.com/strangethings and enter in the draw, remembering to read the terms and conditions first of course!

Also, stay tuned to both ThePolice.com and StewartCopeland.net over the next couple of weeks for information on some planned book signings by Stewart in the USA, for another contest (on Stewart's site for signed finished copies of the book), and (on both sites) some audio chapters from the book, read by Stewart which will be available as downloadable MP3's!

Deadline: September 26 at 11:59 PM EST.


(ETA: No idea why The Police in the title is a euphemism.)

Sweet!

<crosses fingers and attempts to enter>

You beat me to it, DM!! I'd just copy/pasted the link only to come back here and find that you'd been your usual uber-efficient self

Good luck peeps.

All Donna's fault, daft. I'm just sweeping through.

Good luck, all!

Submitted!
Thanks!

Aaaaah. so TP.com *does* acknowledge he's still alive and functioning.

Pardon, Sarcasma. She pops out every so often and can't seem to hold her tongue.


Cool news!!

Did anyone get a confirmation email? I didn't get one. Not even a confirmation page came up after I clicked submit.

Thanks for the info btw, DM.

Thanks much for the tip. I forgot that other little site still existed.

Wait a moment. My account at TP.com was a $0.00 offer but they say

Your current membership level does not include access to this area.

and neither I upgrade it.

Can anyone explain?

I have entered but am wondering whether they will post overseas

thanks for the heads up

Thanks for the info, DM! I entered too just to give it a try, but it's unclear whether anyone can enter or just people from the US. Also, didn't get any confirmation e-mail after submitting the form.

Good luck everyone!

entered and fingers crossed that I get my confirmation as I had to join all over again for some strange reason.

Wooo freakin' hoooo! Thanks for the news guys! I too am pleasantly surprised to see TP.com is sponsoring this. In my own Sarcasma moment I said something over on that site about waiting for Stewart news over there was like waiting for Hawaii to host the Winter Olympics. Well....Honolulu 2018, here I come!

Smudge, I guess your idea of having Stewart sign a galley wasn't so far fetched after all!

Oh I hopeI hope I hope I hope I hope !!!!!!!!!!

It's just like waiting for Christmas!!!!!!!
