first of all..."HEY MIKE, LOOK!!! I'M POSTING!!!!"
now that that's out of the way...
I share Raptor's sentiment that it was great day/it was a terrible day. I was at the store bright and early, as were quite a few people. Mike and Denise were on fire! answering questions, ringing stuff up, reminiscing.
I walked out with a few things I'd wanted for a while including a Listen n Fun Tripwire with cassette, and believe me, I'd liked to have left with more. I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the "after party", which was great fun, and very generous of Mike and Denise. I also got invited to the "after-after party", which was quick trip to Casa Heddle to check out the famous toy room. The pictures were kewl enough, but it was impressive to see everything Mike has managed to display in there, and up close, it's incredible. All in all, a sad day for BHT's closing, but a great way of saying goodbye and thanks to Mike and Denise for allowing me to be a part of its send off.
now i gotta tackle raps for a couple of body parts...
