Ok, it looks like the site is dragging, but this is because I've been travelling, first to Disney for vacation, then to Wisconsin for a shmups compo. Rest assured, progress continues on the comic and it will see the light of day soon.....
To tide loyal readers over, here's some of the wackiness that's been taking place at the store:
1) I had a Rainbow Six player from the MLG (Major League Gaming) stop in and ask for sponsorship. I thought it was cool to have a "professional" player stop by and thought what an interesting life he must have. He was just in Vegas for some tournaments. The owner didn't want to sponsor anyone though....
2) A guy by the name of Paul came in with a DVD-R to resurface, and he told me to throw it in the player after it was cleaned. Turns out it's a pilot episode of a reality series about tricking out BMX bikes. Paul owns a local shop and had an episode produced and is trying to sell it. Cool stuff!
3) Remember that Craig's List story about the kid who started with a paper clip and wound up trading all the way up to a house? A group of kids were trying to re-create that, and came in offering a 19 inch TV for one of our neon signs. I said no.
4) And finally, one customer came in with a tarantula (in a cage, luckily). He had just bought it and had to show it off. I asked if he was going to buy Spiderman 3 to make the thing happy.
