Funny story:
Metro Entertainment (SANTA BARBARA’S BEST AND BRIGHTEST FOR COMICS TOYS GAMES AND MORE – sorry, got a little promo tourette’s there) sent me and the store manager to local university UCSB to spread the word about our shop, our big event coming up on the 18th this month and about what we sell. It was beautiful, the weather was perfect, people were generally surprised and enthusiastic and a good time was had by all.
And then there was this girl.
About the third person to come up to our little booth by the sea was a college girl with big Jackie O shades on. “What is this all about exactly?,” she asked us with a clinical eye and I stood tall as I gave her the schpeel about who we were and what we did. “Does this do well for you?,” she followed up and at first, I thought she was talking about the booth promotion. No, it turns out she was asking if comics did well. I told her comics were had sustained themselves throughout the years and they were doing quite well indeed thank you. With a trite smile and nod, she delivered her parting comment and went to the next booth over.
“Well,” she told us. “Good luck with that.”
