I hear through the industrty grapevine that you guys were nominated for the Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award, or something. For a store so new, that's a crazy honor. Then again, it is an awesome store.
I'm actually surprised you haven't hit the board to pat yourself on the back for it.

Can his "group" be "Eisner-Nominated Member" now instead of COTM? That would be awesome.

Long as we give it to all the other Eisner nominees.
Like Kurt Busiek.
My continual needling of Joe aside, congrats to Alex, Mary, and the rest of the Rocketship bridge crew. Truly a well-deserved honor.

I don't think they do the groups thing round here anymore, but that'd be great.
Good job getting it right, Alex and Mary.

Well, nominated. They haven't won yet.
I'm pulling for them, though.

Hey, the nomination is awesome.
We can start another congratulations thread when they win. Where are the nominees listed?

No idea. As I said, I "heard it through the grapevine."

hey thanks guys... I hate to say it, but it looks like we're ineligible this year due to the "open for two years" requirement. (we missed the date this year by a couple of months).
No sweat- it was very exciting to open that letter, even if we can't actually be in the running this time around.

Always next year. And you guys still run a great store.

Wow. I didn't even realise how young your shop was. Looks so... well-established.
Congrats anyway!

You should feel proud that they are trying to find ways to not give you the award. Obviously your awesomeness intimidates all the other little comic shops.
I hope one day I can visit your shop and make many a purchases.
