The Launch of the new GEEKBOX store.

The GeekBox store has been very supportive of Accent UK books over the past 6 months or so, and so when Dave (the owner) invited us to take part on the launch of his new, larger and better located store, it seemed like a good chance to reciprocate.
Saturday the 13th June then was the day the new store opened and Dave had arranged to have a band, photographers for junior cosplayers, gaming competitions and Accent UK in attendance. Oh, and the Mayor did the official opening...
It sounds crazy and it was.
It's a good job that the new store is bigger as you would never have squeezed all the people who turned up on the day into the old premises.
Gary Crutchley and I were there representing Accent UK on this occasion, giving Colin a well deserved break, and we happily chatted to anybody who ventured too close :o)
We sold some books, talked about comics and had a very nice cup of Earl Grey Tea from the In Store Coffee Shop.
A really enjoyable day in a store that has loads of space and someone creative enough running the show to make best use of it all.
Highlight for me was that a customer who came up to the stall asking for Stephenson's Robot #2... sorry .. it's not out yet .. but it will be soon....

Copenhagen Comic Con and then the opening of the new, larger, GeekBox Comics store in Newcastle Under Lyme.

This weekend we (that's me, Colin, his son Scott and Gary) fly out to Copenhagen for their Comic Convention. We've never missed one (in fact I think we were at their first event), and are looking forward to catching up with a lot of friends over there.
And following that, on Saturday the 13th we'll be present to help celebrate the opening of the new, larger, Geekbox Comics store in Newcastle Under Lyme. It's great to be invited to share in a great day for the store. The poster (above) is already on display in the store windows.

So, a busy few weeks ahead of us, almost as busy as the last few behind us with Colin and his other son Adam having such a great day at the Granite City Con in Aberdeen.

Dave Stevens over at Geekbox Comics sent me these great photos...

It's great to see the Accent UK titles in such good company...
