Important question:

In which store am I able to buy this in New York City? A friend of mine is there right now and maybe he is able to buy one copy there... :)

Book Thug Nation in Brooklyn

Bluestockings or Forbidden Planet in Manhattan

You guys all need to get this! :wub: If, by some strange twist of events, you are not already a huge Cometbus fan, this will set you on the right track. I got mine from Bluestockings last week and the gal at the cash register was like, "You love Cometbus too?" :happy:

I'm gonna order, but first I need to find my friend to ask him to use his PayPal account:D

Then, I can't wait to get it(:

Update on orders ...

As most of you know, we are selling this issue on GDA. We have received over 300 orders.

When Tony and I were in New York last week having only one of many of the times of our lives (:)), we picked up 300 to add to the 50 I already had received. We carried them home on our respective planes so we could start shipping them sooner.

I started my process immediately (Tony had to wait to receive the envelopes he'd ordered). However, this process has gone slower than I expected because:

  • We had some data issues in the orders that needed to be fixed before we could run the mail merge. I went through the file and found everything I could - also sent a few emails to check on things. I am still finding the occasional issue as I package the orders, but I think we've gotten those almost all taken care of now.
  • I wasn't aware that we would need a customs form for every single international order. I took them all to the post office on Friday, and found this out. So I've been filling out customs forms all weekend - I thought that would be faster this time than trying to figure out how to print these (if I can find the proper labels for doing it).
  • A couple of personal things came up that caused me slight delay - not much, though - I'm determined to get these out as quickly as possible.


    So here's the status:

    • I sent out a batch on Friday and another yesterday. You should have received an email from me if yours was included in one of those batches.
    • Tony has received his envelopes now, and I've sent him files of labels for printing. He's planning to package all his today for sending tomorrow.
    • I'm planning to have all mine ready to send either tomorrow or Tuesday (I've just received a second batch from Andres this morning - just a few orders that were placed later or had delayed payments).
    • So things are going well. Everything should be on its way by Tuesday if not before.

      I've learned a lot of lessons from this exercise, and the number of orders we receive is slowing down now. So any future orders should get sent very quickly (unless we run out and have to order more - in which case, we'll let you know).

      Be sure to ask if you have any questions. I have almost finished reading my issue of #54, and it's really worth waiting for :).

Want to buy it...

Only if my mom let's me.

Does anyone know if it will be innapropriate?

If you're really eleven, parts of it are probably inappropriate, yes. I wouldn't let my 11 year old read it. :)

So, I bought one through GDC because I thought the shipping price was reasonable, and because I knew that I was unlikely to find one near me.

And then I went to Chicago this weekend. And what did they have at the record store I visited? :mellow: I mean, I'm glad I bought it through GDC to support GDC or whatnot, but shit, I could have saved the two bucks on shipping! :lol:

(Riveting tale, I know.)

Well, we very much appreciate your support! And by buying yours through GDC, you'll have a letter from me with my personal signature!!!!!! Now you're excited, right?

Does Tony send out confirmation emails as well (like, when the mags are sent)?

If I order one today about when do you think I would receive it? Just a guess or something would be nice just so I can count down the days :lol: (I'm ordering from Ontario Canada)

Well, I have Canada down to a fine art, but the PO won't guarantee anything better than 7 to 10 days (and even that is not a guarantee, because it could conceivably get stopped by customs). If I get any feedback from the other folks who ordered from Canada, I'll have a better idea, and I'll let you know.

I will commit, though, to getting all future orders out within 1 or 2 days from the date they're placed (depending on whether a Sunday intervenes and the PO is closed).

Not even kidding, I am! :D And I'm glad that you guys are selling them, because had I not gone to Chicago, I still wouldn't have had access to them here in Ohio, so, yknow, yay!
