A novelty store, no a niche market store...

Yes, I see it now. Your true calling, as I said many years ago too, is to operate a store...'

A store with your art,cards, movies, magazines, comics, selective toys, coffee, Internet, and good sandwiches...

Do it!

Cant wait to see you in Feb in Fla!! Glad to hear your gona join us!!!

I can't believe that Into the Wild only got one nomination. That movie was so well done. From the cinamatography to the acting, it was an A+ production. But, we all know that these awards are not really about talent and who truly deserves the award, and the academy has their own agenda. I just hope the writer's strike has been resolved by then, so it's not a debacle like the Golden Globes were.
