GBR Sales and Rare Demo Auction!

-
Image
  I dropped by the GBR Dealership again today, and overall sales numbers have been great since the grand opening. I snagged a coyote-brown buggy on opening night, and that particular model is no longer available for purchase. The above image shows the number of remaining buggies, which is accurate as of August 11th, 7:05 am. Goober also asked me to mention that the demo model of the coyote-brown buggy, complete with windshield stickers, is currently available for bidding in auctions. It is a one-of-a-kind model that belongs in any serious collector's garage, and I have included relevant auction information below. Good luck bidding! https://webapps.prod.there.com/items/view?ItemId=6298653 Seller's comments about this item **THIS IS THE ONLY COPY THAT WILL BE SOLD.** The designer will retain one personal copy, and the buyer will own the **only publicly sold copy**. All **Coyote Brown** editions are currently sold out. This particular buggy is the **official demo version previousl...

Random Scenes on There...

    The GBR dealership event was a lot of fun last night, and I was able to purchase a brown buggy I had picked out a day earlier. Saw lots of familiar faces and enjoyed some random conversations with many in attendance. As I said before, I was really impressed with the quality of the buggies and dealership itself. Congrats and a perfect '10 , Goober! Speaking of random, you'll see an assortment of pictures posted below. Many of these images were taken at there events, including T-Con, a birthday party, and other planned get-togethers. I have also included a few snapshots taken at  Words and Lyrics Cafe,  my usual hangout. As they say, the people make the place.... let's keep it that way. I also wanted to mention my watch-party event next Thursday, August 13th at Words and Lyrics Cafe.  The Green Bay Packers will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a preseason match at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. Doors open at 6:30 pm, and the game begins at 7:00 pm. It will ...

GBR Launch Preview!

  I had a chance to visit the Nitro Neighborhood recently and met up with both Goober_Goalie and hotchilli. Goober's GBR buggy dealership is slated to host an opening event on Saturday, August 8th, from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm Eastern time. While taking a look, I decided to give Goober a little extra pub via my blog. Inventory update: Aug. 10th at 5:50 pm Eastern This is a sneak preview of his dealership, which is located on Aurora Island's North-East side. Goober graciously allowed me to do a walk through and take photos, and I came away quite impressed with his buggies as well as the facility. An interesting takeaway is that Goober is offering a buggy-exchange program; after you purchase one, you can exchange it for a different buggy provided the two are at the same price point. Be sure to inquire about this offer at the launch event if you would like to learn more. I think it's a cool way to stand out from the competition and give shoppers a little something extra. You are a...

T-CON Wrap-Up

-
Image
Mission accomplished! I had a great time attending several entertaining sci-fi events, watch parties, and presentations during the week of T-CON. When I first arrived at the conference center with a friend, we aimlessly wandered the corridors for a bit since it was our first visit there. I even joked that we had been teleported into  Backrooms , only with lighter-colored walls and less furniture. lol The opening reception was fun, and we talked about which sci-fi books and films had a big impact on our lives. My first choice was Star Wars , and I saw the film when I was only 8 years old. Jessica6 was more than a little surprised at this bit of trivia, but I can still vividly remember that awesome opening with a star destroyer chasing Princess Leia's spacecraft. Afterwards, I went into another room and voted for my favorite sci-fi movies from the 1960s to the 2000s. I also have to give a nod to John Carpenter's The Thing , which was not on the 1980s board. It featured awesome sp...

Welcome to KRIBZ!

-
Image
    Not too long ago, I was contemplating an idea about showcasing homes of there.com residents. I thought it would be cool to regularly feature houses and their owners, and that you guys would enjoy reading about them. It would also give me something new to drone on about, of course. lol I would be remiss not to mention the origin story of "KRIBZ." Many of you remember the groundbreaking MTV show in which celebrities gave guided tours of their homes. It was fun and cool to see where they spent their downtime when not entertaining audiences. To kick off KRIBZ on my blog, I have chosen to feature a sky box  that is some 800 meters off the ground. Think of it as an entertainment space, with a bar, seating area, and video games to keep the party going. The owner is Vanilla Dutch, and we have known each other for several years on there.com. We were supposed to meet up for Crimecon a few years ago in Orlando, but Covid-19 sank those plans, unfortunately. Dutch has created some...
