FLAXEN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER #94
Monday October 27, 2014

Good morning - 

Last week was a marathon of events and happenings. I hope some of you actually enjoyed all we had to offer. Saturday was a spirited Halloween ComicFest. If you missed it, the winners of OUR costume contest was the cutest couple ever!

 

Then, I stoppled by the Bill Liebowitz Classic Yo-Yo tourney to check out the competition. Check out these skills:

And then there was the John & Sandy Carpenter Halloween Signing. Thanks to all the awesome fans that came to support and get autographs a plenty! Have you seen Carpenter's Carpenters?

That's right, we did it again. The GA crew went ALL OUT for JC and we'll do it again next year, because it's an annual affair.

 

Lastly, as I write this blog on Sunday night, I can't help but dwell on the past. This is the 10th anniversary of my Dad's passing. I know allot of you that read this weekly newsletter knew Bill Liebowitz. He was a pioneer in the comics industry, the Yo-Yo nation and in Los Angeles, just to name a few. This was a highly decorated man that won his share of awards and the admiration of our industry. He worked harder than anyone I've ever known to provide for his family and pass on the values and interests he developed during his life.

 

I am truly fortunate to have him as a mentor and Father and blessed to have such an amazing family that could have literally done ANYTHING, but chose to sell comic books at a time when it wasn't cool. I am SO grateful for this opportunity to captain the ship for the last 10 years.

 

Hopefully, he understands why I sold our Northridge shop to Earth 2 Comics, moved his flagship shop to our current location then cut it in half two years ago. 

 

Business is tricky and unpredictable. Despite all that, I feel that I can still keep my head raised up high for keeping his spirit & vision alive for 35 proud years and hopefully 35 more.

 

Thanks to all of you for embracing me as an equal these last 10 years. I had BIG shoes to fill (he wore size 15!) and I've done my best thus far.  The shop still has amazing events, great stock and and even greater staff and customers. Thanks for believing in me.

 

Have a happy & safe Halloween everyone.

 

Until next week, Stay classy Los Angeles.
