I’m having a tough time getting my thoughts together, for what technically is my last official newsletter as owner of the Spy Comics actual comic shop location in Federal Way. Spy Comics will live on in my mind and as an E-Bay store (seller: spycomics), plus web site (www.spycomics.com). As of Friday April 1st 2011 Spy Comics, the location, at 1500 S. 336th. St. Federal Way, Washington will become Fantasium Comics and Games, owned and operated by Ms. Paula Currey. I want to thank everyone that made it out to our gathering at the Milton Tavern yesterday. It was a very nice time, great to see Read the rest of this entry »

This has been a strange week, full of mixed emotions. Happy, Grumpy, Sneezy and most the other dwarfs except hopefully not Dopey. The reality of Paula taking over the shop really sank in for me as we started pulling the books she’s keeping for the store and I started packing up and moving out the stuff I’m keeping.  Before, the fact I was leaving seemed just a concept in my mind, even though we’ve been talking about it for weeks. Still so much to do, and plenty more even after I’ve cleared the shop. Paula has plenty on her plate too. Anyhow, you’ll probably notice the book shelves aren’t quite as full. But, Read the rest of this entry »

Hard to believe it’s already a week past the Comic Con. Of course I was in a hang-over type daze for quite a while. It wasn’t until Friday that I started to feel recovered from what turned out to be a great show. The promoters estimated over 30,000 people attended this year, up from 20,000 attendees last year. Crowd control was better too, as the media guests were downstairs and off the main show floor, except for the Boondock Saints guys, Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus, who were just down the way from us.  The show floor was less cramped and allowed for more comfortable browsing and shopping. End result, we Read the rest of this entry »
We’re at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend, so no news from us.
We will be closing early on Saturday at 3pm so I can get up there to the show and give Rick a chance to see Shatner.
We will also be closed all day Sunday for the convention.
We’ll be back to normal(ish) on Monday.
Have fun!

Not much of a newsletter from me today. Lots on my mind with the Emerald City Comic Con next weekend. Still so much to do, even though it seems like I know what I’m bringing. Just have to make sure I don’t miss something.  Planning and coordinating the goods to bring to the show is always the hardest part. The show part, though very physically draining, is the easy part. We’re trying to make sure both Paula and myself get to enjoy the show more than we’ve been able to in past years. Usually it’s all work, work, work, and we don’t get to see anything. That’s my fault, as I want to make the best of the sales Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a beautiful, chilly, late winter/early spring day. I love days like this because you can actually feel the season turning into spring. It happens in the fall too, but that one is way more of a downer. Mostly only maniacs that enjoy hurtling down snowy hills on little strips of wood or plastic or whatever those things are made of, look forward to winter. Spring is baseball, and flowers and trees blooming and the hope of warmer sunny weather; though around here we sometimes get ripped off on the sunny part. I love all the blooming flowers and trees. My house looks best in later spring when my plants and trees are in bloom. I actually did my job Read the rest of this entry »

Had to replace my alarm/clock radio today. Though they were out of the exact model I’d previously had, I bought a nice one at Fred Meyer, made by the same company. Two alarms, automatic time setting, and plenty of other nice touches. However, I discovered when it came time to set the alarm to the desired time, that there were no separate hour and minute buttons, just plus and minus buttons. This meant having to hit those buttons nearly 400 times to get the thing to register 6:30am. Who’d make a clock like that? Timex that’s who. You’d think they’d know better after all these years of clock and watch making. My finger is still numb and Read the rest of this entry »
