Well, ConFusion sorted out 2 of 3 things and as you know '2 out of 3 aint bad'
as the song
goes. And the wrinkles in our future convention planning are getting ironed out
much to my
relief! But lots of stuff to look at coming up including a scheduling conflict
that we'd love to
overcome...but probably can't. Stuff happens and things go awry.

BUT! On the plus side, the art commissions from last year should be coming
to fruition in
the next couple of months including a set of full color logo shirts, some mascot
art, and a
different take on our store logo. We have one more art piece in limbo and it
might come
around. We shall see! ;)

In February we will be meeting with a wonderful lady interested in
investing in our store.
We aren't sure how this will turn out but everyone is excited about the
prospect. Doesn't
mean we will get the loan as the banks are being silly and not pouring out money
into small
businesses when we most need. But with stores like K-B Toys taking a nosedive
there is
more market share opening up so it should prove interesting.

So we are still aiming for the target. Stay tuned and hopefully we will
have more exciting
updates soon. Later! Rob and Carina Barry-Guild House
