Do you want to be in the room where it happens? Or, more accurately, are you interested in owning a book about being in the room where it happens? I hope so, because we are BEYOND DELIGHTED to be able to give away a copy of -- WAIT FOR IT -- The Hamiltome (out today from our mutual publisher, Grand Central).

**THE PRIZE:** We have ONE copy of this, the very book that you want if you're a fan of *Hamilton,* or if you know nothing of it and are wondering, "What'd I miss?" [Per Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Revolution-Lin-Manuel-Miranda/dp/1455539740/ref=tmm%5Fhrd%5Fswatch%5F0?%5Fencoding=UTF8&qid=1460396413&sr=1-1&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io):

> HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION gives readers an unprecedented view of both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages -- "since before this was even a show," according to Miranda --traces its development from an improbable perfor­mance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here.

> Their account features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sond­heim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by Presi­dent Obama himself. The book does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don't throw away their shot.

**THE TASK: #Hamku.** We're going to pick a winner at random, but to keep it fun, please compose a haiku about *Hamilton*. In any way you see fit; about the musical itself, about your love of the $10 bill, about how you have literally no idea what we're talking about whenever we reference *Hamilton* and ergo you actually really need this book, etc. We hope to be satisfied by your efforts. I want a revelation! So listen to my declaration:

**THE RULES**: Enter as many times as you want. All entries must be posted **in the comments of this post** **by 9 p.m. Pacific time on Friday.** We fully support you tweeting your entries to the world at large with the **#Hamku** hashtag, so that all your friends and family can celebrate your wit, but just be mindful that **we can only choose winners from the comments**. So don't throw away your shot and accidentally tweet without also posting.

**ONE LAST TIME**: FYI, if this is the first time you’ve commented here, the system will automatically kick you into comment moderation, but don’t worry, I will rescue you. (*Prizing courtesy of the publisher; open to everyone.)*

To the Revolution!
