How to use this Page

Comic-Con is said to be the biggest pop culture event in North America, and if you’re one of the more than 130,000 attendees, you’re likely to purchase and wear some of one-of-a-kind comics, art and action figures from the many vendors at the show. Whether it’s a Optimus Prime collectible or a Boba Fett action figure or even your vintage Star Wars costume, keeping your Comic-Con treasures safe and sound doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive.

Using FedEx Office to get all kinds of stuff to and from Comic-Con is a tradition. And now they’ve made it a little easier. New this year, FedEx Pack Plus helps you pack and ship those big, bulky and fragile valuables to and from the show. And it’s conveniently available at the FedEx Office Kiosk right inside the Convention Center Hall “D” lobby.

You can read all about it by clicking to my post on the FedEx Office blog here, but just for Beat readers here are two coupons to save you money on both your packing and shipping…just in time for Comic-Con! Simply click on the two coupons to redeem, and either print off of save to your mobile device and bring to the FedEx Office location inside the Convention Center Hall “D” lobby to start saving!

The next issue of Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet will soon be released into the wild, and it contains a marvelous variety of stories, poems, and oddities, most of which, I'm sure, are of high quality, and there's also a story by me. (Don't blame LCRW. The editors are sworn to secrecy, but I can tell you they're only publishing "The Lake" because I kept sending them gift subscriptions to The National Review and Soldier of Fortune, and I promised to stop only if they would publish one of my stories.)

I'm particularly excited to see that Kirstin Allio has a story in this issue, because the only thing of hers I've read is Garner, an extraordinary novel set in my home state of New Hampshire. Garner was a LitBlog Co-op pick some seasons ago, and has remained one of my favorite LBC books.

Though there are many different choices for how to subscribe, most subscriptions to LCRW cost less than a new lung. So what's your excuse?
