ELFSAR BLOG

I just got a call from the Shuster Awards yesterday. My heart sank as they told me that Elfsar again has been nominated for a Shuster Award for Most Outstanding Comic Book Retailer of the year. (Elfsar is now the current record holder for the most times nominated)

The Harry Kremer Award for Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Retailer /Le Prix Harry Kremer pour Détaillant Exceptionnel Canadien de Bandes Dessinées
* Another Dimension (Calgary, AB) www.another-dimension.com
* The Beguiling (Toronto, ON) www.beguiling.com
* Elfsar (Vancouver, BC) www.elfsar.com
* Fichtre! (Montreal, QC) www.fichtre.qc.ca
* Heroes (London, ON) www.heroescomics.ca

But there is the problem that we will no longer be an active retialer when the awards ceremony is held June 5th.  (We miss it by 5 days as we have to be out of this location by May 31st).  Does this discredit the past years worth of work and community building that we have done over the past year?  I cetainly hope not.  I can think of no bigger honor than for Elfsar to get the Harry Kremer Award.   I travelled to Toronto for the event last year and after not getting  the award, I was determined and motivated to turn it up and work my ass off.  But I sense that this year I will be disqualified due to the unfortunate circumstances.  Nothing has been said yet, but I am sure the powers that be are discussing it.

Nothing I can do about now but throw the biggest and best FCBD of all time!
