Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie Contest

As you might have seen by our excitement to get the Aqua Teen Hunger Force's music playlist yesterday, we're stoked that the Adult Swim cartoon is going to come out with a full-length movie on Friday the 13th.
So we were super excited when they contacted us to tell us that we can give away an ATHF prize package to one lucky LAist reader.
Gentlepeople, behold, the package includes: an ATHF beach ball, koozie, sticker, poster, post card, socks, and a CD sampler.
Yes, we did say socks!
Now our favorite character is Frylock and not just because he looks so cool, but because we frickin love french fries.
So to enter this contest, simply tell us where the best place to get french fries in LA is.
The deadline is at 4:20pm on Friday the 13th, the day the movie opens, so get on it. The winner will be announced the next Monday.
