Now I'm depressed.

Everyone knows things are going a little rough in the economy. Yeah, you hear "good news" on the news from time to time, but as everyone I know agrees, things are hard right now. It's hit close to home in several places, but it's punched hard with today's revelation...

Between Books may close soon.

My favorite bookstore, my favorite place to get gaming supplies, my comic outlet is close to going under. I spoke to the owner today and he's been having a rough few years, and recently he had to let go one of his only other employees, a staple of the place. Lots of things about today's economy are depressing, but that I might lose my very favorite place to buy books? That one of my friends might lose his life's work? That really hurts. The best I can do is buy some books, which I will do, but unless other people also go buy some books, it's only a matter of time.

Go buy books!

This is terrible! I remember going there years ago to see Jonathan Carroll do a reading with my friend who's now dead. Very sad. I haz a sad now.
