SO I BRING MY CAR IN FOR THE ANNUAL MVI AND I GET THE USUAL CALL WITH “YOUR CAR NEEDS….” BUT THIS TIME IT ALSO CAME WITH “A NEW FRONT GRILLE WHICH WE DON’T HAVE IN STOCK” SO I HAVE TO ORDER IN THE PARTS AND DRIVE AROUND WITH A “REJECTED” STICKER FOR A WEEK OR SO.

THE OTHER CARS IN THE PARKING LOT ALL MOVED AWAY WHEN WE DROVE IN THIS MORNING. THEY DON’T WANT TO BE SEEN WITH A “REJECT”. THE RED STICKER IS LIKE A PIMPLE ON THE END OF THE CAR’S NOSE!

SO IT’S A GOOD TIME FOR A SALE. GOTTA REDUCE INVENTORY AND IN NEED OF SOME DOUGH FOR AUTO REPAIRS.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH! ONE DAY ONLY! THE HALIFAX STORE WILL BE HOLDING A 50% OFF SALE!

10AM – 5PM. BE THERE OR BE SAD.

OTHER THAN THE CAR TROUBLE, SEPTEMBER HAS BEEN FINE! WE’RE PACKING STUFF UP AT HOME GETTING READY FOR THE BIG RENOVATIONS. THE CITY HAS SWELLED WITH LOTS OF NEW STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIND THEIR WAY TO STRANGE ADVENTURES! WE HAVE A COMIC BOOK CLUB MEET & GREET AT MAXWELL’S PLUM ON MONDAY, SEPT. 15TH FROM 7 PM TO 9 PM. THAT SAME NIGHT, THERE’S A SCREENING OF DEATH NOTE AT THE BAYER’S LAKE CINEMAS. MY NIECE, NICOLE, WILL BE REPRESENTING US AT THE SHOWING AND SHE’LL BE ONE OF THE JUDGES FOR THE COSPLAY CONTEST. THEN ON THE 20TH IS THE SALE AND THE HALIFAX BOOK LAUNCH OF MATT FORSYTHE’S OJINGOGO, A SPIFFY NEW BOOK BY THE GOOD FOLKS AT DRAWN & QUARTERLY. THE WORD ON THE STREET FESTIVAL IS AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND THE BACK-ISSUE BLOWOUT SALE STARTS ON THE 22ND AND RUNS TO THE 30TH. AND I’M PROBABLY FORGETTING SOMETHING!

THE NEW STUFF LIST HAS BEEN UPDATED AND WE ALSO JUST RECEIVED THE NEW BEETLEJUICE FIGURE, A REALLY ODD ONE FROM THE EXORCIST, AND THE NEW MUTANT CHRONICLES MINIATURES GAME. SOME NEW ICE SETS, TOO!

BYE FOR NOW!
