now that i'm famous

in case any of you haven't read today's issue of the pantagraph, i would like to make a formal announcement that i have officially been published...well more like quoted...but published sounds better so lets go with that.
So our shop finally seems to be coming together, but not without a lot of frustrations and bitter woes, but i think i will survive...hopefully.  i'm counting on rocky oshea to hook me up with the top folk bands and hoping tracy can teach me how to wallpaper and i'm letting holly take over cleaning, so basically if it all falls apart it's all of their faults.

today when i told a lady we were going to move she said, "well never mind.  i'm not going to travel all the way there!  i only come here because it's downtown!"  then she rushed out of the place as if God would smite her down if she stayed any longer.  i wouldn't blame Him if He did.  oh no, i shouldn't say things like that, because i don't really mean it.  but, by the way, i've never seen her before in my life, so i don't think she ever really came to our store anyway.  aha!

congratulations on being published...wow, it looked like your move created some heated discussion about our Bloomington downtown. some people just have so much time...

Hope things go great for you. I drove by the shop today! What a great location! I like how you can see into the shop from the road.

once a gain congrats and God bless your efforts!

i know! can you believe how worked up people can get on things like that! the thing is there's these people that say i won't support you when you leave, but they only supported us maybe once a year anyway, and they expect us to be so distraught that we're losing their $50 a year. it's kind of funny.

hilarious. you've created quite the stir. silly how people get worked up over something so silly. i felt like i was reading a script for "two weeks notice" and how they didn't want Wade Inc. to destroy their community center. i think it's great you're moving...you're going to do great.:) cheers to you, my famous friend!
