Win a Gift on My Birthday: A SarahLacy.com Puzzle!
hey everyone. it's my birthday. you know what that means? i don't have to use capitalization and even paul carr isn't allowed to mock me for it.
hey, i deserve some kind of birthday break after a lifetime of people forgetting, giving me joint christmas and birthday gifts, and about two hours wasted of trying to get to work today. oh yeah- and having to work today in a ghost town formerly known as yahoo.
so to turn my mood around, i'm doing a sarahlacy.com giveaway. below is a picture olivia sketched out before she left town for christmas, describing the hectic pre-christmas days at sarahlacy.com hq. mr. lacy and i loved it so much we were going to use it for a christmas card but ran out of time. since "the holidays" are technically not over yet, the person who comes closest to explaining what all of olivia's drawings signify will win a signed copy of my book and a user generated book tour t-shirt. (they're awesome! and only a few left!) you might win just for guessing the names of the people and cats. (hint: cats have all been mentioned on the blog many times.) you might win just for guessing, since apparently no one is working today, and hence probably not reading this blog.
happy guessing!

New Book
An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.

I had to ask my 7 year old artist daughter for help.
She says whoever drew this is happy and stylish. married couple on right, artist on bottom right. Princess poodle? The girl on the left she says is an angel with a halo above her. I own your book and would love a signed copy. aE

I think that the couple in the upper right corner is yourself with your cats during the holidays. They are happy and together after being gone for a book tour.
The figure in the upper left corner is an entrepreneur working hard during the holidays because of hard economic times (and technology competition). The other person in the upper left corner is Mrs. Lacy in layers of clothes because there is no heat.
My only other guess would be the person in a house on the lower right side. I think it is a person putting a whole in a wall with a hammer (making the house even colder).
Happy Holidays and Happy Birthday!

Olivia is on the top left, not the little guy in the box though. Geoff and you are top right, with your three cats I presume? There's food below Olivia, which leads me to think she's the one doing all the cooking in the Lacy household. Bottom left is an ice cream man that pushes his cart through The Mission. Above him is some psycho (PSY?) driving a car, probably some producer at Yahoo!... Then bottom right. Hm. I'm thinking that's a hooker from somewhere in the Mission, and above her is a picture of a guy (Geoff) fixing up your new house.
AMIRITE?

I'm afraid it's all a bit too much for me, but we do have the same birthday so Happy Birthday!
