What Happened In March 2024?
March was a busy month personally and day-job wise, which led to not a lot of things getting done for Nix Comics. (That trend has lasted into April, seems. I can’t believe it’s already the 9th!) I had some sales at the Herbert Cooper Gallery, though not enough to cover the rent for my space there. I need to put some work into making that space work a little better, so hopefully you’ll see more from me soon on that front.
It was my birthday on March 29th. I turned 53! I managed to stretch my celebration out from Thursday the 28th to Sunday the 31st, because I’m old now and everything takes longer. Thursday was dinner with Kate and our good friends Mike and Heather at the nautically themed Windward passage. Friday was pizza at Fibonacci’s. Saturday was a trip down to Cincinnati for a record buying binge at the Northside Record Fair and Shake-It Records, followed by a shopping spree at the giant grocery emporium Jungle Jim’s. The latter spree let me put out a nice table for a brunch time celebration with friends at home.
Here is a partial picture of my Record Fair and Shake-It Haul. (For the full list of B-Day records, its all but two of the records dated 3/31 below in the “Records Listened To” report. I’ll let you guess which two I already owned.)
Anyways… I thought it was more important to add the comics I grabbed at Shake-It. How is there so much great stuff there every time I go? get with it Cinci comics kids… there’s a cool hidey-hole of books that you should be supporting!
Records Listened To In March 2024
Includes all of the records purchased at the Northside Record Fair and Shake It in the 30th, natch! I listened to 230 records total, kind of a low number, but work kept me from any real deep dives. I did ask for themes from Facebook friends for my daily record pulls for my work day. I only got to such four pulls, and only wrote up two of them. Perhaps when I am a man of leisure I can do better!
