Fanta-awesome

As one of the first group of patrons to cross the threshold into unchartered Fantagraphics Books retail country, I can say that there is no greater sight than seeing an Acme Novelty Library stand next to a spinner rack swollen with Love and Rockets and Black Hole. But to stay with current blogging trends and to guarantee there isn't any actual content, let's make this into a photo post:

Storefront in the Georgetown neighborhood in Seattle. For non-Seattlites, this is a ten minute drive down the freeway from downtown Seattle.














The masses ache to spend cash. Dylan is in the middle of this shot. Yay Dylan!












The wall of signed prints and posters.


























The appropriately hyped damage room. Many, many steals.





The Acme Novelty Library stand


















I have now found my personal oasis.

















Since it was a soft opening there were a few details to be worked out (like a functional credit card machine), but we were told by December 2nd, everything will be perfect. December 2nd is the official grand opening super-fantastic night that everyone should attend. Hey, flights to Seattle aren't that bad. And if you aren't totally psycho we may even have some room for you to crash. You just have to ask nicely. And yes, we also accept bribes.
