"HEROES..." IS MOVING!

Ok, those of you comic fans who live in the area, DO NOT PANIC. Heroes Your Mom Threw Out comic shop is not running off, they're just moving down the street. For a number of reasons, the owner Jared as decided to swap locations to literally up the street (OK, it's sorta up the street over the train tracks and a hair further up the street, but whatever). He WILL be open in his old location this Wednesday, but after that i think he's hoping to get things together and have the new place open ASAP!

I was lucky enough to get an early bird tour (and by lucky I mean Jared put Jesse and myself to work lol - ok we offered). The place really looks impressive. He has more space, a lovely back parking lot (although you will still need to go in through the front entrance)... all in all, its going to be fun to see how the new joint turns out!

As for today's move... my back is killing me (well nothing Advil can't handle) and yet surprisingly I'm not exhausted. The day was full of laughter and an all out fanboy star wars vs lord of the rings fight. I've never actually SEEN a real one of those... and yes they are very surreal. lol!). Some OTHER memorable moments were:

• Everyone losing skin at some point to Jared's metal display racks
• Bizarre Depressing music
• Packing long box after long box of comics into a Saturn, a Buick and 2 blazers
• Watching a local hick pull in his giant black "penis extension" of a diesel truck right directly in front of the store taking the best loading spot so he could go in and get his drink on at the bar next door, despite seeing us carrying boxes out (the cars were being unloaded at the new store when this happened)
• Pizza
• PBR
• Giant sized Kermit Dolls (which was later choked by accident)
• A walking paper mache Hulk
• the threat of tetanus around every corner
• Having the upstairs folks stare at us as we loaded cars, as if we were monkeys for their amusement

In the end we had a blast. Jared kept trying to make us eat donuts, I was given the very witty nickname of "the girl" and I got my HGTV geek on by running about an empty store trying to imagine what they were going to do with it lol!

Its shocking how sometimes moving day can actually be fun (a rare experience indeed).
