Tonight @ the DSO: Drugs, Juice and other Intoxicants

I've been sitting on this amazing reference book for a little while, just for educational purposes, but tonight it goes into the prize pouch for one of you lucky people to use as your new favorite handy-dandy reference work.
Illegal Drugs is the first comprehensive reference to offer timely, pertinent information on every drug currently prohibited by law in the United States. It includes their histories, chemical properties and effects, medical uses and recreational abuses, and associated health problems, as well as addiction and treatment information.
Thanks to Karen for that prize.

Also going to one lucky team: Not just one, but two (yes, two) copies of Jose Canseco's dishy tell-all about steroids in baseball, Juiced. Even if you don't like baseball, it's still a fun read. Jose has clearly enjoyed his time at the top of the sporting world, and he no longer gives a shit. It's a lovely thing to see, really. There are parts where he's running off at the mouth like any other junkie, but it's remarkably coherent considering where it came from. And if you are a real baseball fan, then this is really a must read.

I said there are two copies of Juiced to give away. One of them is the Spanish version, El Hombre Quimico (!). Compare and contrast, and see what asides are in one that were tastefully omitted in the other!

Oh, and that's not all! We also have a DVD of Il Divo Live at the Greek Theater! (They're the opera version of 'N Sync! They're so dreeeeamy!) This could actually make someone you know very happy. (That's true of all these prizes, come to think of it.)

We'll see you tonight!
