I was totally wrong and I’m so happy about it! Over a year after I wrote about it with lovelorn pessimism, The Louisville Game Shop is thriving, with more stock and better shelving and multiple event nights every week. I am really glad this is the case! I congratulated Colin on that achievement when I went in to buy some gifts last month, and he said “thanks! It’s all thanks to you guys.” And I, in a greedy little kid way, was like yes. It’s thanks to me.
Dear gentle reader: this blog has been operating continuously since I was a teenager. The writing below is at least a decade old. In that time every molecule of my body has been replaced, along with many foolish ideas and flighty beliefs. I want to keep some of those things public out of an honesty and humility I owe the world. I trust you to carry that context with you.
