Well, it's been a great year, and an obviously busy one, since we got this up just before a year had passed.

We now carry over 1500 board games, card games, and puzzles; 3300+ Used LPs, almost 600 titles in new vinyl; 700+ miscellaneous items including T-Shirts, gaming and comic supplies, and vinyl toys and figures. Our latest vinyl toys are the TokiDoki Cactus Pups and Strangeco's Vivisect Playset. We also carry Moofia, Peecol, and Jim Henson's City Critters, as well as Labbits, Domos, Quees, and sci-fi or comic related action figures too numerous to mention.

We've got eight gaming tables set up and play host to Magic the Gathering tournaments (we're sanctioned for FNM and Pre-Release events), WizKids (Pirates, Clix, etc), UFS, D&D, Warmachine, Warhammer and Games Workshop games (including 40K and Bloodbowl), and miscellaneous board games and card games played by the Mid-Columbia Board Game League and other everyday gamers. We hope to create an extensive gaming area in the back of our store, but that will take at least another year.

We've done several interviews over the year, with David Rees, Joe Pekar, Patrick Rothfuss, and David Anthony Durham. Stay tuned for the transcript of Amanda's interview with Tim Harnett.

If you're a frequent in-store shopper, you will have noticed our Recent Arrival shelves (labeled Tuesday - Saturday. Unfortunately, due to rising demand for graphic novels we are doing away with the Recent Arrival shelves. We'll still keep the last day's entry on display, but it will be restocked every day instead of every week. We're a bit sorry to see it go, but it will give us much needed room for more graphic novels (essentially bound comic books following a given storyline) from DC Comics, Marvel Comics, independents like Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, Dynamite, Top Cow, Oni Press, and much much more.

We're also finally getting our website updated with our new look (including the white rabbit!). Of course, some color schemes are still in transition, but we hope to get these updated soon. Our search results now account for different item types, since we carry so much more than books these days. The Advanced Search page doesn't differentiate between item types yet, but we're working on that, too. Last, but not least, we've created subscription pages for MTG (Magic the Gathering) and RPG players, and we have an events calendar to keep you updated on everything in the store.

On a side note, we've got Watchmen and Breaking Dawn back in stock!

Our storefront is open! We opened June 2nd, 2007 and we are open 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Pacific time every day. We've got almost ten-thousand square feet of space filled with new, used, discount, rare, out-of-print books, records (yes, vinyl!), CDs, board games, card games, and art. Given our extensive hours, you've got no reason not to come and visit our shop (at 1391 George Washington Way in Richland, Washington), but unfortunately this means we haven't been putting as much time into the website.

We've still put up a few interviews, and we're adding new inventory every day. We decided, however, that maintaining an active inventory of comics was too much. We still sell them in-store, but anything we list online right now is just informational, and no comics should be considered active stock.
