The Big Announcement

The clock is nearing the hour of midnight, which means I have to get this in to keep my streak going; however, downstairs a group of my friends are rocking away on "Rock Band" and I have an itch to sing a little Bowie. It's going to have to be brief.

I promised a big announcement for today (and if you are checking this out only because my father hyped it up to you for the past 24 hours then I apologize! You really aren't going to care!) However I truly can't think of anything bigger or more fitting for World of Linnen than this:

Today, I worked my first shift as a counter monkey at my favorite store in the world, The Comix Connection!

Yes, maybe most late-thirties men wouldn't jump at the chance to spend your day off in a comic store, but I was on it like ugly on an ape! I had a blast chatting with folks about books, bagging and boarding, and getting some inside scoops on my favorite hobby. In the days of yore, I used to bag and board comics for hours for free for my Cousin Tony, so to do it and get paid is pretty sweet. Bill (the owner) and Joe (the manager) are both great guys, and while we were busy doing stuff most of the time, it was still quite enjoyable. I won't be in the store too often...every other Friday pretty much unless they would need someone to fill in on a shift at some point. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love the place, so it's cool to get involved with it on a different level.

Well, I gotta go rock! More tomorrow!!
