fuggin a'. i'm sayin' CICERO PARTY is where it at.  hell, i'm even related to baldy maltese & i got a lock of betty's hair before the feds destroyed that poor lady's life. 

BUT SINCE I'M A-WORK AT QUIMBY'S 2 NITE anyway, the listening party is go, so long as Tom is. 

the same rules as posted previously apply. 

Quimby's doesn't know jag-all about Warlord, but you people are welcome to read all the dave sim letters you can handle.

So it's like a conceptual art version of Warlord.  I'm there.

Less is more.  Unless it's more.

well, we listened, laffed along with the customers in the store, but no one announced their presence like "Helllllo Quimby's. I hear there's a doo-wop party tonight."

HEY! Since the next two weeks are XMEN day and New Ears Day, there will be no BEST SHOW listening parties at Quimby's. 

However the store will REOPEN for BEST SHOW LISTENING on January 8, 2008, and then every Tuesday night, Tom willing, at 7 PM CST.

@stepheninchicago.  you know how we feel about water sports. <3<3<3

Pretty amazing that:
a)my record playing/life partner Brian is organizing this and i had to find out via a message board.
and
b)I got dissed by tom because I didn't know what he was talking about when he asked me if i "ran the comic book store." In my opinion it's books first, comics second at the ol' Quimbys.

First class, FOT. First class...

@stephen

To be fair, there is an ENTIRE wall covered in comics. You know the one next to all the shelves with comics. Yeah that one!

What's the deal with all of the Chicago and LA listeners? Word of mouth, or is there some kind of connection? I was looking at the Facebook group and there are a ton of you from those cities.

Those of us that listen on our transistor radios rule, and we get to hear the Best Show several seconds before the rest of the nation. C'mon Tri-State area. Represent!

In attempting to visit quimbys.com at work, I learned that the porn filters flag your website as containing sexual materials. ACCESS DENIED. What kind of dirty bookstore are you pervs running?

i have a screening for class every tuesday at 7 to 10 for the next 9 weeks! it's going to make the movies a lot less enjoyable to know that this is going on, especially since my boyfriend is planning to spend tuesdays at quimby's. it was hard enough last week when i called him once the movie was done, and i could hear tom in the background-
