What's TBDCSPTBSC, you ask? Why, it's the Taco Bell Drawing Club Second Place Tote Bag Stranger Competition!!, ongoing right this moment. Jason Polan's Taco Bell Drawing Club, an open-membership organization in which you can become a member simply by going to any Taco Bell in the country and drawing, has devoted members far and wide. In fact, if you head to your local Taco Bell today (and there are quite a few to be found), then why not take your pad of paper and a pencil, draw for a while, and wait for a fellow tote-bag carrying member to walk in? You could be the lucky winner of the original giraffe drawings below.

The Taco Bell Drawing Club tote bag

Jason writes in:

A member [of the club] in California recently mentioned how her Taco Bell Drawing Club Tote Bag had been traveling with her all the way up and down the west coast! I thought it would be fun to have a contest to see who could be the first person to spot a stranger carrying one of the bags. Unfortunately, before I could announce the contest a friend emailed to say he saw a stranger with one of the tote bags! We are going to have the contest anyway. Be the second (or third) person to spot a stranger carrying one of the tote bags, let me know, and I will mail you and the other person a page of giraffes (one of the ones attached).

Before you think you're just going to be the next person to get one of these super special giraffe drawings, keep in mind that there are a few rules to this contest:

1. The person you see with the tote bag has to be a stranger.
2. When you email art@jasonpolan.com to let him know you have spotted a stranger with a tote, you must tell him your address, but also the stranger's name and have them email Jason too. As he puts it, "It would be weird to meet a stranger and ask them for their address. It would not be weird to meet a stranger and tell them you are a member of Taco Bell Drawing Club."
3. The sighting can be anywhere except at a Taco Bell Drawing Club meeting.

So whether you are looking to satisfy your Taco Bell cravings, practice your drawing skills, meet a stranger or win one of Jason's giraffe drawings, this is a win-win competition to participate in. Now, get off your computer and head to Taco Bell with your eyes wide open.
