Halloween's A Coming: Rogue Evolent is Getting Dressed!

Below you see a picture of me, rogue evolent taken a couple of days ago by my boy MothT. I was just sprucing up my complexion getting ready for the big 30-day COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN that tROAD will be participating in. More blog posts, more stuff, more mediocrity! YEAH!!!!!!!
There was a tinge of bitter-sweet to the situation surrounding the above photo. It was taken at a seasonal Halloween costume and novelty retail distributor that comes into town every year to sell Halloween stuff in the weeks before the big day. They usually just rent retail space at some strip-mall. But this year they had a HUMONGOUS store to ply their wares..... the old abandoned BORDERS BOOKS & MUSIC store in downtown. The store that I had spent hundreds of dollars in; drank hundreds of coffees in; listened to thousands of CD selections in (and actually bought hundreds and hundreds of CDs); and the store where I actually bought this thing (you may not be aware of) called a "book." I bought a lot of books from BORDERS. Now the space is only good for a temporary sale of wigs, novelty crap and cheap costumes.
NOW THAT'S A BONAFIDE SCARY FRIGHT! And sad.

  1. The same thing is going on at the Borders in my town. I loved Borders too but confess I bought very little from them. I'd go there looking for what was new and then race home and order it for usually half price from Amazon.

    I feel somewhat responsible for the demise of Borders. I didn't think it would ever go away. Oops

  2. Thanks for commenting Keith. You remain one of the longest reading and most loyal observors of this blog! I appreciate it.
    And, make no mistake... I did exactly like you did the last five or six years. Sure, in the beginning I funneled my disposable entertainment income to Borders and to other brick & mortar record stores et al. But there came a time when I just wouldn't pay ridiculously fully-marked up retail price when I could get it cheaper on Amazon. I am an amazon.com junkie to this day. So yeah, "what you said Keith" me too :(

  3. I bought from Borders all of the time....
    I am truly sad that my local store closed. Screw this new economy.

    But, on a positive note, ALL HAIL HALLOWEEN!!!

  4. And speaking of some of the true loyal and early supporters of tROAD (like Keith; KW, above) ANDREW is also one of the blog's perennial friends and all-around Good Guys.
    Thanks for the drop-by Drew! All Hail Halloween indeed
