Borderlands has a chance. Let's save the store.

For those of you who managed not to hear, there is currently a strong risk that Borderlands Books, my home store, is going to close.

But now there's a chance that we can save it.

I have already called in and signed up for a membership. If you have the funds and the desire to help save the store, I hope you can do the same.

This is a magical place, and I pray we can save it.

Idk if I can afford a sponsorship, but I am going down there next week and buying a bunch of books I was saving up for....wishing them the best of luck and spreading the word, though! And maybe I'll bring them pumpkin bread as a 'thanks for being so awesome' present or something, maybe.
I went ahead and bought a sponsorship as soon as I saw their post. I'm pretty tight with money, but it seemed like something important to do.

I have your event next month marked in my calendar, as I didn't want to miss the last Seanan and Her Traveling Pony Show (TM), but I'll be much happier if I can go to many more author events to come.
Hooray!
Yup, K told me about this yesterday. Our check is already in the mail.
Thank you.
Turns out I was wrong and we had not mailed the check, so Saturday morning we were in the cafe before the bookstore opened, giving Allan a check. By the time the store had been open for half an hour (and I had already bought a bunch of books) several dozen people had come in to sign up.
My check is waiting for tomorrow morning's mail pickup.
Fabulous.
I dropped our check by the post office on my way to work this morning, just to get it out a little faster than leaving it in our street mailbox for pickup. Sarah and I want to be able to keep bringing Josh to your events at Borderlands for a long time to come. We only make it out a couple times a year, but the place feels like home every time. Here's hoping enough of us can chip in to keep it that way.
Yay!

Will call as soon as they open for the day. I was really bummed at the idea of them closing! Here's hoping that this will work.

Edit: Done
Glee.
As of a few hours ago, they've cracked 300 sponsors for 2015-16. My fiancé and I called today and became sponsors.

So, they're around for a while longer.
Everything is awesome.
