Sat, 08 May 2010Do you know about the "haul video" phenomenon? That's where people make YouTube videos about the stuff they buy. It's basically a testament to the power of conspicuous consumption by very dumb people, which is a demographic I can totally get behind!
When this guy told me he was a "haul blogger", I knew exactly what to sell him. Don't forget to check out the Haul Blog for more like, totally gnarly hauls!

Universes collided when Iron Man and Rorshach met up at Hijinx to join forces against the evil overlords of Hijinx. It's funny, because I always assumed that Iron Man would be the taller of the two. Must be those elevator shoes. Hurm.

Thanks to you, dear customer, Hijinx has won the award for best comic shop in silicon valley for the third straight year in a row in the Metro. We've also won the last two years running in the Wave weekly. There are still plenty of good shops in the area, so I'm honored to win. The Metro even singled out this blog for supporting the art of comics instead of just spouting movie hype. Rather than rest on our laurels, I plan to make Hijinx even better in the year and years to come. Thanks again for all of your support!
