Knew I remembered this one....finally found a picture!

YYZ is awesome, but La Villa Strangiato would be unreal. Long time Rush fan here. I've also worked on both Geddy Lee's cars (in two different shops) and also helped restore Alex Lifeson's e-Type Jag. Also dropped a car off at Geddy's house as teenager. Love La Villa Strangiato even more than YYZ. Has anybody told you lately that "You are awesome". I will remind myself the next time you are in my presence that I am standing next to the mechanic that worked on Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson's cars. Not just a mechanic Bob, a Mercedes Benz mechanic Get your facts straight Jim A Mercedes Benz mechanic that can't construct a stage out of wood... If I wasn't going to be locked up grading, I'd offer....just need some 2/4s, some plywood, screws and a screw gun most likely... Carpenter love fest, going on here there is. The ability to build is not the issue. It's the time and location Maybe try a local university's theater group? I was part of the one at USNA Probably a few geeks on the stage crew who might exchange their time for some comics or passes to the show or something...

@Rune - I sure did! I'll just wait a few days to see if anyone prefers one over the other before I change the set, FYI.

If you are planning on or trying to register books that were submitted at Baltimore Comic-Con please read this note. Whenever CGC offers On-Site grading at a show, the books are not "shipped" out of the system until about a week after the convention ends. This is so that we can ensure that all comics were picked up properly and any remaining orders can be shipped to the submitters. If you try to register any comics from On-Site during this time you will receive the message that "The certification number you specified was not found in our cert database." This will be resolved as soon as the books can be "shipped" out of the system. Thank you for your patience and understanding with this process.

Based upon the discussion above and in the expansion thread it seems that the trend is to put TPBs in their own sets, which I am OK with, or make them non-competitive which I am also OK with. I haven't made any major changes yet, so the discussion is still open as is the poll above... Basically I'm not the one you want to argue with, try addressing those who are asking to have them removed and express your counterpoint.

Due to a renewed interest in this subject in the Registry Expansion thread I am sticking this thread for now to ask for help in tracking down & removing all TPB's from sets. Feel free to post your removal requests here or in the Expansion thread. Thanks for the help everyone!

His hair is blue on the new one.

Just read Oryx & Crake by Margot Atwood....oddly enough I came across & read After the Flood first, but both are good and it didn't seem to spoil either one by reading them out of order as the stories are related but only slightly intertwined. Just before that I read Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi so I guess I was on a dystopian future kinda kick. Up next is Seeing Further: The Story of Science and the Royal Society by Bill Bryson

perhaps we need to have a beer exchange....with or without homebrew (depending on availability).

I'm working on a green wit....slowly...very slowly
