Free Comic-Con Variant Editions Howdy! Chuck with Eloy We are presently driving northward on I-25, in Northern New Mexico. My wife, Nanette, and I left Santa Fe at mid-morning, after a wonderful weekend spent attending the annual Feast Day dances at Santa Clara Pueblo. This year's festivities at the Pueblo were particularly fun, as Feast Day fell on a Sunday. Weekend Feast Days tend to draw triple the number of visitors as those that fall on weekdays, so yesterday the Pueblo was filled with amazing positive energy, as quite a crowd of tourists (mixed with hundreds of visitors from other Pueblos... ) filled the viewing areas of all four dance plazas. Making us both even happier yesterday was the fact that our good friend from Santa Clara, Eloy Naranjo, is in much better health. Eloy had a stroke a few years back, and also suffers from diabetes, so when we heard in April that he had a heart attack, we feared the worst. Blessedly, our concerns were unwarranted, as the physical therapy that Eloy has received since being discharged from the hospital has actually helped him to achieve a much better state of health. He's still quite frail, but now he has his wry sense of humor back, and can walk again. It was wonderful to be able to sit and talk with him yesterday, and to see him feeling so much better... Jason Street Mega-Store Moving on to news from Mile High Comics, this past weekend was our busiest ever at our Jason St. Mega-Store, at least on a weekend without some sort of major event transpiring. We had well over 100 visitors just on Saturday, with most of them leaving with copious stacks of back issue comics! I realize that we probably should have figured this out sooner, but all of us who work at Jason St. are quickly coming to the realization that Jason St.'s greatest appeal for our visitors lies in it's unbelievably large back issue comics selection. We do, indeed, also sell considerable numbers of trade paperbacks, toys, statues, and t-shirts, but at the end of the day back issue comics and magazines comprise the vast majority of our sales. The fact that back issues are such an important part of our revenues at Jason is quite significant for those of you who shop with us online, because that trend helps us to cost-justify an even greater emphasis on older comics throughout Mile High Comics. All I could think about during breakfast this morning was how anxious I was to get back to Denver, so that I could begin the process organizing the one million+ unsorted back issue comics and magazines that we presently have stored in the warehouse portion of Jason St. All other considerations aside, I would really like to keep expanding our back issue comics offerings for those of you who shop with us online while our current 50% off SANTAFE! steep discount codeword is still in effect. While this half price codeword does not apply toward books, new comics, CGC issues, and the non-comics items listed on our website, it is specifically designed to help slash your cost of shopping with us for back issues. On a closely related topic, while it is normally unheard-of for us to expand our staff going into our typically very slow back-to-school season, our sudden surge in back issue comics demand at Jason St. has prompted me to re-think our seasonal hiring prohibition. Simply put, if I can find three candidates this month with enough comics knowledge to be able to step right in and help us sort and grade our one million+ overstock back issues, I have decided to take the leap of faith required to add staff in the fall. If you know of anyone looking for work in the Denver area who happens to also be very knowledgeable about comics, please have them stop by our 2151 W. 56th Ave. headquarters building and fill out an application. If they have the right skills, we will hire them on the spot... I will close this discussion of our future plans by mentioning that while most of the energy of this new back issue team would be directed toward helping to enhance our Jason St. comics and magazine selection, we will also be diligently harvesting selected back issues from Jason St. for our online clients. As much as we want Jason St. to be a fantastic comics shopping experience for our Mega-Store visitors, our foremost dedication is always directed toward those of you who support us online. That harvesting of out-of-stock issues from Jason St. is precisely why we have had so many great hard-to-find back issues flowing into our online New-In-Stock and Premium New-In-Stock listings over the past few weeks. Thanks to Jason St., our online selection of back issues has never been better!
