I received an e-mail from a former supervisor at the bookstore I'd helped run w/ him. I'd been previously been informed that this mall bookstore was being decommissioned and wanted to stop by for old times' sake. The treat I'd discovered upon walking in was everything in the entire store was on sale for 50% off!
"Danger Will Robinson! Danger!" I made polite conversation, catching up on happenings and was informed of an art show opening tonight featuring the talents from Lovecraft Tattoo. I then ransacked what was left the graphic novels, fiction, history, music and cooking sections. I tapped out by my second trip to the counter dropping off what was too heavy to carry. Between the 50% and an additional 'super-secret former employee with good taste in books' discount, I made out with a couple hundred dollars in reading for 77 clams!It also seems that I will be attending tomorrow's SGNY Open Call! Plans for my Boston trip folded for the time being, most likely until mid-May. This will necessitate calling Laerkai and DarkRabbit to huddle on what the Fairfield county contingent will be planning. This means check back in the not-so-distant future for pictures!

I was thinking leaving ffld at like 3ish to be in GC at 430 the latest. That will give us just enough time to get to the bar area, find a place to eat and arrive on time. Let me know, you have my number... give a call whenever, just not between 9am and 12pm. My teacher flips out when cell phones ring.

I updated my journal to reflect the CT heads.
I'm sorry, you all slipped my mind.
I can't imagine anyone other than the very few CT people that I know who would ask about me. as far as I know no one outside of my circle of friends even knows how close to NY I live. so really who could have possibly inquired about the smuffster?
after may I'm going to be all up in all kinds of 'events.' you just wait and see.
and I see you will be in boston! right on.

Is this 50% off sale still going on? I too am a sucker for discounted reading material.
