MY LOCATION




THINGS I DISLIKE
Work, living in D.C., religion, anyone who drives a Ford, willfull ignorance, Family Guy, my boss, my coworkers, my customers, Tipper Gore, arrogance, lack of self-respect, PETA, rednecks, people who quote movies to make themselves look cool... You know what? This is a pretty long list, so let's just assume I hate everything equally.

MY PREFERRED GAMING STORE
Amazon.com, because I'm stuck in Washington D.C. If I was back home? Lonestar Comics in Plano. Bite me, Maddness Comics!

THINGS I LIKE
D&D 4E (that's right, Hate Me!), money, reading, writing, my fiancee, my friends, my cats (Simon & River), OWoD, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, comics, sharks, tigers, retro early 90's cartoons.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME
I feel strongly that the truth, no matter how alarming, trivial or disgusting, must always be told. --Jon Carroll

I gotta give them credit for moving closer to the market.  You couldn't ask for a better location that on the doorstep of SMU.  Inconvienent for me (my folks live just down the street from Richland college) but in walking distance for the SMU students with oh so much disposable income.  Let's face it... you don't go to SMU unless you've got PLENTY of money.

Not sure where the old Dr. Pepper plant was, but I don't think it moved near there.  It's Mockingbird and... dammit... that street... two or three major intersections east of 75.  Crappy location, but more room.  Pain in the BACK-SIDE to mop the floors in that place, too.

Damn!  Thanks for the info.  The next time I head back to visit the family I'll have to check out the Mockingbird location.  There was another comic/game shop across from the Dr. Pepper plant that I used to go to back in the day... do you know if that is the location that Lone Star moved to?

Sorry for the double post but I just noticed your preferred gaming store.  God how I miss Lone Star Comics!  It is the gold standard that I judge all others by and so far only a very few have come close.  The Plano location was nice but my fave was always the one out by Town East mall.  That was a bit of a hike so the one I frequented most was the one off of Preston rd. 






From Plano, really, but when people get "that look" I say North Dallas.  You know how it is.  Friggin plano jackasses!  And I worked at Lonestar for about a year (check it out in my blog).  The one offa Preston got moved Mockingbird offa 75.  Yeah.  Across friggin town.

Always nice to see another Dallas transplant in the DC area.  I grew up in Dallas and lived there all my life before I joined the USAF.  Went to Lake Highlands.  How about you?

There are some great stores just down in VA.  Look up Game Parlor on the web; it has a location on Woodbridge and another in Chantilly.

My biggest mistake in gaming was not selling my Magic and Rage cards before they became useful only for shredding and using in my cat's litter box. Like all things 'collectible' I miss the boat by enjoying the game rather than fobbing off rare cards.
