Card Shop Liquidation

     I was walking through the St. Paul skyway and noticed a card shop is having a liquidation sale. I stopped to see of they had anything of interest to me. I bought 5 postcards at 60 percent off, and a cloth coaster with a baseball theme. All told it was just over two dollars. The shop owner said to another patron how it will likely run until mid-August, so just over two more weeks. Much like at many other liquidation sales I have been to, I will be making multiple visits. It is best to give myself more time to look at everything, though I made some nice choices. I tend to get low-risk, low-cost items at these sales, since all sales are final. There may be some greeting cards that interest me, plenty of them available. It looks like some of the fixtures have already been sold. It also explains why the postcards were not a rack that spun around, these were on the walls next to the greeting cards. I write this off as 'Economic Darwinism' whenever I see it happen, a term that is already listed on Urban Dictionary. I said to a colleague that it may be a tough business to make a profit in, when greeting cards and postcards can be found at many other stores like Walgreen. Most of the skyway businesses are closed on the weekends, since the customer traffic is mainly on weekdays when offices are open. So this limits the times when somebody can operate a business.   
    I did perform at the comedy club tonight, starting off with mention of being at a podcast last week. Many of the regulars performed. The tetris comic did one about naked vs. nude. Another was about 'Dr. Quit'. The 'Extra Murder' comic did one about a new apartment. Others were about visiting Texas, ghosts, and phone books. The Maryland native did ones about Urkel, the morning after pill, hockey, and condos. The school bouncer did one about football and fur. Others were about his uncle's religion, and crossing the street in his neighborhood. The tortoise and hare comic did one about going to '9 by himself'. The resistable comic did ones about Target, a hipster roommate, and fewer choices. The laundry comic did one about being at the airport. Others were about the movies 'IT' and 'Deliverance'. Pizza philosopher did ones about internet dating and the humane society. The opera singer did ones about the Wet Seal, and pizza. He was wearing a Mt. Rushmore shirt. The Worthington native did ones about a tough dad speech, being a cyber bully to his dad, girls basketball, and country music. Fantasia did ones about a guy on the bus, pickup basketball, a scool suspension, and 'McDonalds and meth'. The Perkins employee did ones about Bilbo, Danny DeVito, and a South Dakota park wedding. The fever comic did ones about airport sandwiches, deer suicide, and a plane's emergency landing. The founding father did ones about women and makeup, and the 5-second rule, as show closer.
