Of course you do!
Hey Chicagoans,

Club will be taping a pilot for a new web-video series sometime on October 22. The premise for this series is simple: Readers (you beautiful people) simply send us a 100-150 word essay succinctly describing why Patton should visit your home for a private reading from his excellent book, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, which comes out in handy paperback form on November 8.
The writer of the most convincing essay--as chosen by Patton and The A.V. Club--will be visited at his/her home by Patton and members of The A.V. Club to film the meeting, reading, and eating of pie.
Fine print: Essays are due October 18, which is six days from now! You must be 21 or older. You must have the authority to to grant us permission to film in your residence, and to use your likeness in the video. You must enjoy the eating of pie. There is no cash value associated with this event. To enter, send your essay and the street address of your proposed filming location to avcontests@theonion.com
