CONTEST
Can you identify this picture?
A listener got this wristband from the Pixar Studio Store and wants to know what it means. If you know (or can think of a clever explanation), send it to thepixarpodcast@gmail.com, with "Contest 11" in the subject. Entries must be received by Jan 31, 2012 at 11:59pm PST. The winner "may" win a new Cars 2 soundtrack! (But you really will...)
