Hello Brian. Great to hear about Vortex. I'll be visiting the website often. Just checked it out as well. I also want to say thank you again for the extra books that you sent for my order. Absolutely generous of you. Side note. Many years ago while discovering your books at the local Kroger I also discovered Survivor by J.F.Gonzalez. That book creeped me out. Anyway I packed it away along with other books when I moved and basically forgot about it. Yesterday I decided to go thru my storage and boom there it was. I seriously need to read more of his stuff. AndWhen you just pointed out how his ashes were at Vortex, interesting coincidence. Anyway. Good luck with the store. Take care.

Happy opening day! Wishing you and Mary all the best today! The store looks like something right up my alley (and something we don't have around where I live), which is why I'm hoping to visit it some day!

I updated that location in Google maps for you this morning and snipped a picture of the door from the video as a picture to start off. It was accepted. Should be fixed in Google in next 24 hours. Put start date as today.

Brian, much good luck to you and Mary on the opening of Vortex. So happy for you both. I know Chris will be sending you well wishes from the other side too. So sorry to hear about Bo and I guess, being a lapsed Catholic, that I'll keep praying for a miracle for her, that she'll turn up alive. But yes, thank you for saving all of those feline lives and helping the other cat colony. I can imagine you, Mark Twain and Hemingway sitting on a porch having whiskey and talking about your cats (TS Eliot too!).

I just wrapped up The Sopranos again. It was my sixth or seventh viewing. I thought of you several times.

Sorry to hear about Bo. Hope they just moved on for a change of scenery to another’s porch.

I know it’s too late for this year, but how does one get a story submitted for the splatterpunk awards? Thanks.
