Vault of Midnight Newsletter: Sep 3, 2011

Weather today: HOT!

Man, it's hot. That September heat wave, right? That's a thing, yes? I think, maybe, that the heat wave MIGHT be directly traceable to all the dopeness emanating from Vault of Midnight. We had a team of meteorologists (BRITISH meteorologists!) going over the place with instruments, meters, etc. Just smoking their pipes, shaking their heads, muttering to each other. I head one of them say, "rather too much dopeness, what." And then they were gone.

They weren't wrong, what. I mean, the events alone, for crying out loud. And I don't think they even knew about Kung Fu Appreciation Month (details forthcoming). At any rate, here's what's the happenings:

Yard Sale!

The Sullivans are having a yard sale! You know: The Sullivans! (They own the comic shop that sponsors this newsletter) From the Comic Shop! Liz Sullivan would like to pass this message along:

"Since we live pretty far from the downtown area, we thought we'd have a sweet garage sale in the basement of the Vault to make it as accessible as possible to all the people who might be interested!  We'll be posted from 11am to 5pm.  Swing by and check out the stuff.  I wouldn't be surprised if you found ten things you wanted! Fifteen years worth of THINGS! It'll be awesome.  Trust me, I've seen all of it."

That'll do for now. We've got mad love for you, I hope you realize. You should probably come by the shop next week: there are new things afoot, and the look of the store is about to take a turn for the excellent. See you Soon!
