Thanks, and yeah, this is definitely bittersweet. :}

AWESOME :D
I think someone's going to have to throw you two a coming-home party when you get back!

kickaha February 5 2010, 19:35:10 UTC

yay! might be a few weeks before we can come up for air, I still have to finish out my project(s) at IBM, start the new job, get up and running there, we're going to be looking for a house, etc,e tc, etc... but yeah. There will be much partyage at some point soon. :)

Bah. Bah I say! :p

I've tried for two years to get us back to the Triangle w/ IBM, in any reasonable capacity... no go. :(

Our other options were Boston and Tuscon, neither of which we were thrilled with to be honest.

franktheavenger February 6 2010, 16:39:20 UTC

Having been to both Boston and Tucson, I'm forced to agree. :\

HOLY CRAAAAP. THAT'S AWESOME. (for us.)
(actually Six texted me to tell me, but still. WOOT. >D)

kickaha February 5 2010, 19:34:06 UTC

LOL sixnet to the rescue. :D I don't suppose you could recommend a comics store? ;)

windbourne February 6 2010, 03:50:28 UTC

HM LET ME THINK ABOUT THAT. >D
Seriously, though. I have connections with almost every one in the general Seattle area. >D If you want serious rec's, I can do that. It all depends on what kind of atmosphere you want to buy your comics in and how far you want to go to get them.

kickaha February 6 2010, 04:16:58 UTC

Awesome. :D We're almost certainly going to end up on the Eastside.

FWIW, I still get mine shipped from Chapel Hill every few weeks because a) I've been a customer there for, um, 15 years, and they kind of know my tastes, b) I liked supporting a small shop, and c) I couldn't find anywhere up here (outside of Manhattan) that I liked going to. :/ (No, I'm sorry, having a shop full of baseball memorabilia, with a small rack of comics in the back does not make you a comics shop.)

Since I'm pretty sure I can strike c off the list in the Seattle area, the balance is going to have to tip in favor of making a trip to pick them up myself once in a while. Like, say, no more than once a week. Tops. ;)
