So Chris and I have been batting around this idea (or maybe I’ve just been batting him about the head with it) to do some kind of website chronicling nerd hotspots, tourist attractions, and retail experiences across the country. (Maybe across the continent? Chris IS from Canadialand, after all.)<\/p>\n
Today it’s hard to get this notion out of my head. There are a few good places to find info on nerd stores in your area, most of them listed under the generic header of “comic shop,” and we all know how to get to the closest EB Games or GameStop.<\/p>\n
But to actually offer useful info about these places in the form of a review–that intrigues me. I mean, who actually writes reviews of comic book stores? And yet, isn’t this one niche market that deserves some examination from its loyal customer base? We’ve all bitched a time or two about a really crappy store, I’m sure. Now you could actually go to a site and write a comment on that clerk who treated you like shit, or that dump that smelled like ass pit, or the place where their “new” comics all dated from 1974…in a BAD way.<\/p>\n
Anyone who travels even a little bit might find it helpful. And if that’s just me, well then, so be it. I wasn’t asking YOU to read it, anyways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
