I'm heading out to Metropolis after 12, and hoping to finalize this all today. So I'll let everyone know once everything is a go.

I'm surprised that no one jumped on your initial asking price. I guess that shows how quickly something that was coveted just a couple months ago can be overshadowed by this week's 'must haves'.

It'd be interesting to see a line graph representing the value of such an item (MISB) from initial release to a couple months later to a couple years later. Although figuring out "value" might be difficult due to it's subjective nature.

Good luck and hopefully you find a buyer that will come out to the C.O.Q. soon. Mad props to you for keeping your pricing real!

Shit...just realized I can't make it to Metrocon this year. My buddy's wife is taking my wife to Maroon 5 that night so we've got the kids.

Frack you, Adam Levine!!!

Oh man, that's harsh. Arrange a babysitter? Drop 'em at the grandparents'?

What's harsh? Attending a Maroon 5 concert or looking after 3 kids my myself? I keed, I keed...

Might work...or maybe see you there with my kids. I'll be the one wearing a 6 month old in an infant carrier, chasing two other kids with the look on my face that says "Why the eff did I do this to myself???"

Hahaha, both!

Yep. 3 kids seems like a handful... still on the fence about if I want to subject myself to that.

The secret is do everything you ever want to do in life first: travel, spend money, buy dumb shit, drink, smoke, steal...

Then after you've have kids and you're wiping your daughter's ass or changing your son's pissed in bedsheets at 2:06am you can say to yourself "That's OK, I've smoked weed in Amsterdam/hiked the Cinque Terre/paid $13 for a $2 bottle of wine that I happily drank on the banks La Seine at sunset/shoplifted cologne from The Bay (and got caught), etc.". I've lived.

Truthfully fatherhood feels like a natural step in the evolution of becoming a well rounded man.

Ok...getting off my soapbox now .

After a day of working hard as a Shipper at a Pet Food warehouse, I still don't mind smelling like dog food. So i'll pass.
