Last update I wasn’t completely sure if we were moving, but now I am! We bought a new house, and although it isn’t very far away (we can walk to it, in fact), we still have to get all the stuff in this house here into that house there. And man oh man, have we accumulated a lot of Stuff in the past 12 years!
A not-inconsiderable portion of that Stuff is Galaxion materials. Books, art supplies, artwork spanning three published versions of the story. And I’d sure like to not have to move all of it!
I plan to have a moving sale in two parts. The first will be this weekend at Fan Expo (Holy cow, just looked at the guest list and Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill are all scheduled to be there! Wowza!) –Booth A320 near the food court, I hope to see you there! Please take Galaxion books off my hands: I’ll be selling the sets of books 1-3 for cheap, and I’ll have original page art and other stuff for cheap as well.
But I know not everyone can come to Toronto for Fan Expo (or even wants to brave the crowds), so I will also do a sale on the website. We’ve found what I think will be a way to save money on shipping costs, so it should be a good deal all around. However, we’re still (Still!) in the middle of packing and cleaning and removing wallpaper and clearing out excess furniture so we can get our current house all ship-shape so we can sell it ASAP. Until that part is done I won’t have time to mail out packages! I’m hoping that most of the craziness will be over by the middle of September, and then I’ll be able to have the sale.
So please come to Fan Expo for immediate savings, or watch this space for an announcement in September!
After more than twenty-five years, my house is full of…well, it’s full up. Books, mostly. And none of them my own for sale, either…
Looking forward to September, and I hope I remember your book offer then. Always room for one more.
FUSELLA (to Aria): I’ll send you a copy of the phone conversation with Tara tonight!
I’ve lived in my current house since I graduated from University in 1987. I think it may be easier to stay here until I die than try to ever move. Part of this is natural lazineess, and besides, I had air con put in last year. Unusual for the UK I know, but the heat in Cambridge in the summer can be oppressive.
Hey! I didn’t know you’re from T’ranno!
As someone who just finished moving about 30-odd boxes of heavy books (mostly ones I purchased myself, so it’s not like I can blame someone) to a new house, I feel your pain. Good luck with the sale and the move!
Used to live in Scarborough – far end down by the lake – where Punch Imlac lived. Went to R.H. King High. There was a Farmers’ Market closer in towards Toronto where there used to be a dance every Friday – Gord’s Rock. But that was the 50′s and I’m sure it has all changed now. Oh well – now in Nevada – which makes it a very long drive – (Don’t fly anymore).
Is the sale moved to October or did I miss it?
Heh, no, you didn’t miss the sale. Selling the house has taken a lot more time and energy than I imagined, and we still have yet to move to the new place! Coming soon.
