Seriously, this weather really sucks.  We don’t want to close early today but a Tropical Storm is about to hit and everything around us is closing up shop.  So, with regret, Uberbot in the Winter Park Village will be closing early today, Tuesday the 19th.  If you were planning on heading over in the storm, we’re sorry to not be here.  Did we mention that this weather sucks??  &#@*!!

Comic day!  Loads o’ good books today!  New Secret Invasion - Astonishing X-men - Hellboy - Angel After the Fall - Fantastic Four and more!!  Even the Watchmen trade is back in stock this week!  That Watchmen trailer really got you guys all amped up!!  That is all we have to say this week.  We’re unusually tired right now and that makes it difficult to write something worth reading.

We hope to see all of you every week of September!  The remainder of this year is packed with events so be sure to keep your eye out for new posts, newletters and all that communication goodness.

The first comic day of August!  Is this a day of celebration??  Sure, why the hell not.  Completely unrelated, the phrase “rule of thumb” is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn’t beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.  How strange is it that people still use that term?  We at Uberbot do not condone the beating of wives.  We’re just sayin’.
