last friday i posted this on twitter:

“i want a goat crown!! searching for cool goat stuff for shelves in the open kitchen at the goat if anyone comes across stuff, let me know!”

well, you guys kinda inspired me. i mean, do you see that goat up there!?!? we’d love to have some cool goat stuff to show off in the restaurant that will forever become a part of girl & the goat lore, and we’re opening it up to you to maybe help us get there. and in return? well, the top five kick ass goat ‘things’ we like will be invited, with a guest, to a friends and family preview dinner to the restaurant later this month!!

but before we get too far ahead ourselves, let’s take this one hoof at a time:

- we’re looking for the wackiest, zaniest, coolest goat items you’ve got - and we’ll choose five of them. but we’d hate to just have you hand such a sacred thing like that over with its fate unknown, so all we need for now is a clear and concise picture that really shows the relic off in as flattering and presentable way possible.

- the items will be on a shelf exposed to the entire dining room, so be sure size is appropriate. obviously, nothing too big - and at the same time, nothing too small. cool?

- this time you’re not emailing anything to us, but instead your posting the pics to the restaurant’s brand new facebook page. don’t have a facebook page? have a friend post for you! or join!! is it lame that i get more news from facebook than the news itself?

- this contest is open now and will end next wednesday, june 16 at 9 pm. that gives you more than a week to come up with some crazy cool stuff. and if you post something tomorrow; then again saturday; and again at the last minute on wednesday at 8:55 pm, well don’t sweat it! we’ll count every one and take what we like best as the official entry. so post as many as you want!

- and obviously, the item needs to be something in your possession. posting a picture of something from the internet won’t fly.

now, as far as ever seeing these goatly grails anywhere other than the restaurant ever again, i wouldn’t count on it. let’s just hope the girl & the goat has a long and fruitful life and you’re items will be on display for eternity in their new homes…

sound good, everyone? i can’t even tell you how giddy i am to see what you come up with!!!
