Surprise at my LCS!!

Post by Spagg »

I have had a crazy couple if weeks and haven't been able to get in to my LCS. I go yesterday and the owner says " hey I have a gift for you. He hands me the black Shadowman and says no charge!! He basically goes on to tell me I'm a really good customer and that he knew I had been down regarding my daughters illness. Really brightened my day!!

That's wonderful. Not something that a LCS would normally would do.

My LCS, although great, made me pay for mine.

Is it weird that I had a dream last night about the owner of my former LCS that I haven't seen in about a dozen years (when he sold his shop to another LCS)?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Now we have to start a list of Weird vs. Not-weird things kjjjohanson's LCS owner could be doing in a dream.

Now we have to start a list of Weird vs. Not-weird things kjjjohanson's LCS owner could be doing in a dream.
The bit of the dream that I recall was finding out that the store had closed down (I remember standing in front of a store window with the remnants of a comic shop inside), until I realized that he had simply move one storefront down. Fun fact about the shop: one of the Knobs was also a customer, and through the shop she sold some of her color art. I bought the color art for the splash page of Harbinger #7. I later ended up working with her at a small comic coloring company with a few other former Valiant people (one of which, I found out later, lived four houses down from me, even though our office was a 45-minute drive away).

Pretty much unavoidable. Have a pile of those (been debating with myself if reattaching is good or bad).

Anyhow.... WOW! That is such an important image. Congratulations! Thanks for showing. What is that behind it on the second pic btw?
