Holy shed

Amassing stuff is fun; organizing it is not. Even when I was a kid who collected comics, taking out a couple stories to read was easy. So easy that there were stacks of FF, MTIO, and Marvel Premiere all over the place all the time. That's still the case, but now I have CDs and magazines all over the house. And how about money? Everyone wants to make some, but who enjoys balancing his or her checkbook?

Yesterday, I started taking inventory on certain issues of GR that are stored in Eric's backyard shed. We've done it before, but this time I opened up every single box that wasn't sealed from the printer and counted each mag. It's back-breaking work (seriously, my back is killing me) but there has been satisfaction in looking at old covers and recalling some of the kick-ass stories we've run. Also, I realize we've printed a hefty load of mags!

I can't say that I carried each and counted each and every box (Eric moved some boxes and Kiyoshi counted some mags), but if you buy one of these back issues in the future, you can be pretty much assured that I moved it and probably dripped sweat on the box. It's hot out there.





Holy shit, termites!
