Help me enter a contest to meet Billy Dee Williams.

I want to meet Billy Dee Williams.

Colt 45 is having a contest where you can win a trip to meet Billy Dee Williams in Los Angeles. I want to enter because I would love to meet Billy Dee Williams. However, after going to their website, I can't figure out for the life of me how to enter. I tried calling Pabst but cannot find their way through the phone tree. Can you help?

Best answer: I followed the link to the Colt 45 Facebook page (because hey, why not meet Billy Dee?) On August 9, they posted an ad for the contest and said, "You have three weeks left to help Billy Dee find his Colt 45. Don't let him down." I think you missed your chance.

If you still want to meet him, consider writing an article. Perhaps you could write up an interview for your local paper or some website. Here are some tips from Associated Content on how to get an interview.

Alternatively, Billy Dee can be at your beck and call for $20-$40k

He seems to be a feature at several Comic Cons, e.g. New Orleans Comic Con 2011 has him slated to appear. If you showed up without Star Wars paraphernalia he'd probably faint with gratitude. Bring a DVD of something else that he's actually proud of.

Or bring a bottle of Colt 45. Supposedly it works every time.
