Well, There’s Always Next Year – Wednesday, May 17th, 2023
Oh, well. Denver looks tough, and I don’t know who they’ll face. Could go either way out east.
I made it back in record time. Day 1 – 100 miles to Stockton from a long Tuesday night with Bob trying to wrangle Pops, and the worst hotel I’ve been in for 3 decades. Then 3 more days of 650 miles each, and 2 nights in lovely “Casino” hotels in Wendover and Rapid City. The West is so beautiful, I could do that forever. It felt good, and I’m great at it. Now if someone would pay me for that…
SOMEbody made a little booboo and we are short a couple dozen smaller publishers’ comics today. Some of them may be coming in next week. We may also have a smaller than wanted complement next week, but after that, we should be back on track.
We are still encouraging and welcoming masks, but not requiring them. You are only in our enclosed space for minutes, but Bob is there all day. We still need to be careful, people. I am going to talk to the one person reading this. We have put a TON of effort into clearing out the aisles and getting things in order, especially the books and Pops. Please tell Bob you appreciate how the store looks and feels. And help us keep them in order.
Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 8 across. So it’s a somewhat random sample. I’ll keep searching. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful.
Wednesday is still New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millennium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below. If you want to know about the next sale or store event, or whether or not WE ARE EVEN OPEN click here. Sign in here to get an email reminder for ALL sales and other events. Also, you can go to fb.fantasybooksandgames.com and you’ll be taken to our Facebook page. We also use our in-store 5-Star Rewards system to text similar announcements to your phone.
