    Fun stuff, Mike. We have something similar called OddMall: Emporium of the Weird that hits our area a couple times a year. There's usually one a month or so before Christmas...looking forward to that one if schedules allow.
    Ron, there is one scheduled for Seattle Oct 14-15 and one for Portland oct 21-22..Side note, I will touch base with you the first week of September, we'll be in Seattle visiting our son and daughter for a week.

      If you (or anyone) is looking for a good way to get sticker residue off, try Goo Gone sprayed on the end of a Q-tip. You can spread it on with a light or heavy hand, let it sit for a few seconds, then use a plastic scraper to work the residue off.

      If you don't get all the residue off the first time, just flip the Q-tip around and repeat. A regular-sized bottle of Goo Gone will go a LONNNGGG way if you're only using it for this.

        That's exactly what I ended up doing - going some Goo Gone and got those pesky stickers off.

          Holy shit guys - I did it.

          I bought a house. A HOUSE!

          We closed yesterday (I piloted the first 100% digital mortgage with my credit union too) and got the keys. IT HAPPENED!

          Here are some pictures - let me tell you - this place has an ABSURD amount of storage, and some of the most beautiful built-ins I've seen in a house.

          There are more built-ins down the hallway with the bedrooms. There's also a 75% finished basement with more bookshelves (not built-ins but the previous owner did a HELL OF A JOB mounting a bunch of book shelves.

          This house checked every box we had and then some.

          So yeah - this finally happened.

              TacomaDiver  Now that's a house! Those built-ins are really nice. They'll look even better once they're filled with books

                These shelves don't even stand a chance - they are going to get FILLED up so fast!

                    WOW! Beautiful house. Congratulations! I am adequately jealous.

                      I'm just joining in to add another "congratulations!" to the mix. That is a nice looking house. To be honest, I'm much more of a dark wood kind of guy, but those pictures of the inside of the house, especially those beautiful built-ins, have got me rethinking my stance. So beautiful! I'm also a sucker for french doors so that entry into the kitchen is right up my alley as well. I'm joining Jeff in the "jealous" category! Congratulations again!

                              My copy of Club Dumas just got here. Beautiful Book. The Subterranean Press Ed is on the right.

                                Just ordered Midworld's The Atlas of Hell by Nathan Ballingrud. Sounds like a very interesting collection of Short Stories.
