Bloging about being Bloged?

Over the weekend Brian from The blog came though the store. We had a short chat and he did a nice feature about us on his blog. For those of you who have never set foot in the store there are some good pics and some well edited quotes from me waxing about the store and the hood. Looks good, so thanks Brian.

Comedy By Numbers Event

This event was super fun. Thanks to everybody that came! Eric Hoffman and Gary Rudoren reenacted/read from their book Comedy By Numbers, to scientifically enlighten us how to be funny. Special guest Bob Odenkirk acted as the obnoxious college circuit comedian, and as you would expect, was hilarious.
