Ssalefish GSO First Look #220 for 7.21.21
We’re coming up on the end of the forced remodel project, but in order to sure things up above our heads, we’re going to be CLOSED on Monday, July 19th all day while they replace the ceiling and begin laying down the new floor! Though everything will be covered, the contractors tell us there’s no telling what ends up coming down once they start moving tiles that haven’t budged in a decade, and we believe them. We’ll still be open regular hours on Sunday, July 18th from 12 PM - 5 PM, and we’ll be right back to work with DC new releases ready to go at 11 AM on Tuesday, July 20th!
Munchie & Me Facepainting will be joining us for Free Comic Book Day 2021 from 11 AM - 3 PM on Saturday, August 14th! They were a HUGE hit at Halloween ComicFest 2019, and they’ve only taken the time since them to bring their craft to a whole other level!
Finally, I’d like to wish a heartfelt congratulations to my wife Carly for finishing up her career in the college textbook industry after more than 14 years. She was promoted from student employee to supervisor when we graduated from UNCG in 2007, then promoted to textbook manager at Guilford College and eventually store manager at Addam’s University Bookstore before they closed, at which point she jumped from Follett to Barnes & Noble College and took over Elon University’s store, where she’s been for the last 7+ years. She made the most of every opportunity presented to her along the way and I’m thrilled for her to start her new job on Monday and explore a new path!
