Surprise at my LCS!!
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.

Re: Surprise at my LCS!!
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.

Re: Surprise at my LCS!!
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).lorddunlow wrote:Now we have to start a list of Weird vs. Not-weird things kjjjohanson's LCS owner could be doing in a dream.Chiclo wrote:It depends on what he was doing.kjjohanson wrote: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)?

Pretty much unavoidable. Have a pile of those (been debating with myself if reattaching is good or bad).kjjohanson wrote:I should have taken a bit more care of it. "FOR THE" and thew word bubble fell off after I photographed it.
Anyhow.... WOW! That is such an important image. Congratulations! Thanks for showing. What is that behind it on the second pic btw?
