Chuck's in California Howdy! I have to make my newsletter very brief today, as I am dictating it by voice, as I am driving North on Interstate 5 just outside of Bakersfield, California. My trip thus far has been relatively smooth, though I ran into snow about half a dozen times in the mountainous areas, and a lot of rain on the Utah Arizona border. The best part of my trip is always when I get into the central Valley of California and I can see the very first of the fruit and nut trees starting to bloom. It makes me think of spring on my farm in Boulder, and that makes me very happy. There are thousands upon thousands of fruit and nut trees blooming around Bakersfield right now As regards why I am out here in California, there are a couple of different reasons. The primary catalyst for my driving out here is to attend the annual coronation ceremony of the Imperial Court of San Francisco. San Francisco is the founding mother court for the entire Imperial Court System, and has a really large membership, many of whom are good friends of mine. On the Sunday after coronation, we also all participate in a pilgrimage to José Sarria gravesite, mama José was the founder of the International Court System, and was just inducted into the California Hall of Fame by Governor Gavin Newsom. It's raining really hard in the Virgin River Canyon, but not so bad in northern Nevada. While attending the coronation is certainly the main reason why I am out here, Pam and I are always conspiring to find new suppliers for our vibrant, manga and anime area in our Jason St. Mega-Store. I am meeting with our first bay area supplier in the morning and may end up filling up my entire minivan. If that is the case, then I will skip the southward leg of my journey, which was supposed to take me down to the LA Toy Market. I will drive straight home to Colorado, and then make a second journey to Los Angeles next week. It's a really good thing that I don't mind driving long distances... Tehachapi Pass south of Bakersfield As regards life back in Colorado, Will Moulton and Pam are busting their butters trying to locate enough comics to keep filling our Bargain Packs. We do have tons and tons of comics that we're throwing into the hopper but having the right ones, at the right time, is the difficulty. Yesterday, for example, we had to put a pause on selling Spider-Man packs, as we just ran out of feed stock. Will was able to resolve that problem this morning through a couple hours of quick searching, but it is a clear indication that filling these packs is not easy. We really do want them to be good, so we're not just pulling any old kind of crap to put in there. In many regards, I wish that I was home right now, but I can also do a lot of good for the company out on the road. 36 Random Comics (Mixture of publishers and genres) - $39.95 36 Marvel Comics - $49.95 36 DC Comics - $49.95 36 Image Comics - $49.95 36 Valiant/Acclaim Comics $49.95 36 Independent/Small Press Comics $49.95 36 Spider-Man-related Comics $49.95 36 Batman-related Comics $49.95 36 Superman-related Comics $49.95 36 Justice League-related Comics - $49.95 36 Avengers-related Comics - $49.95 36 X-Men-related Comics - $49.95 Golden Age Comics I'll close this abbreviated newsletter by just mentioning two things the first is that we do still have all of our Bargain Packs available and instock right now and that our 50% off GREALDEAL! cordword sale is still in effect on all of our back issue comics and magazines. Only new issues, a few variants and restored comics, and our professionally graded items are exempt. I also want to mention that Will Moulton posted all of the remaining Golden Age Comics from that great deal that he scored on Monday into our Premium New-In-Stock this morning. All of those comics are available at half price when you utilize the great deal. OK, that's it for today. I'll let you know on Friday how things worked out in San Francisco. I hope you have a great week! Happy collecting! Chuck Rozanski/Bettie Pages, President - Mile High Comics, Inc.
