Around 1990, I was set up at a NY show, and at the table next to mine was a store owner from Virginia. We spent four days talking and watching each other's table. He was near Alexandria, and I visited DC often, so a few weeks later, I dropped by his shop. It was a nice enough shop but I was stunned to find out he slept on a mattress in the backroom and showered at a gym. Living his dream came with a cost.
Hey, Shad-was this at the Great Eastern Show in NYC / MacFarlane Spider-Man #1 4-day show? Just curious...
