or more good news please

The journals have come alive. I hit my milestown of 450 journals two days ago and since then there have been slightly more than a dozen added, quite a few have been by Bagofleas. The one directly after mine was by Lee K, an issue I wanted to bring up as well. The quality of the quality control might be more stringent but what about the shipping. I know my last two packages have been haphazardly thrown in the box with a miniscule amount of popcorn a little bit of bubblewrap and I might have a board or two thrown in between slabs for protection, yes might. Check out what Lee K has to say in his journal...

Meshuggah shows one of the reasons why I love this community. The sharing of it all. I have made some genuine friends here. The kind of people I would travel cross country to see.

Lee K brings up a good point of where did the variety go. DC Used to have it, now they don't. Of course independents might play a part of that.

Now, I do love collecting comic books. It relaxes me. Competing with bagofleas has been fun and I know he is within striking distance of taking over the coveted number one spot. In fact he will be taking it over this year. And as much as I am trying to fight him off, I am also cheering for him. But that is only one of the reasons why, the other are the journals. More so than the boards. The journals have a story rather than just a voice from the dark. Thank you all to have written and supported them in the past few days. I dare say...let's write some more.

Thanks for reading
