Tomorrow it is — we shall be gathering at Chief Ike’s in Adams Morgan starting at 7 p.m. to celebrate Butterstick’s first full year of life. We’re encouraging anyone who’s planning on coming to dress in black and white, a little token nod to our favorite panda cub. And in the spirit of the celebration, we’ll be giving a way a prize-pack of panda-related goods to one lucky reader. Of course, nothing comes for free.

Below are three questions related to Butterstick. Answer them first, and the prize-pack is yours. Send your answers to butterstickcontest (at) gmail (dot) com as soon as you can — first one to answer them right wins!

2) On what day did Butterstick make his official public debut?

3) How many votes did the name “Tai Shan” eventually receive in the zoo’s online voting contest?
