INDIE COMIC WEEK - DECEMBER 27th THROUGH JANUARY 2nd!

week of December. But in place of that we're going to feature local
creators AND have a day long New Years celebration. We'll have some

from Diamond doesn't mean you have to stay away.
So, if you are a local artist or writer and you have a book that
you want people to see, then email me. If you know someone who has
their own book, then forward them this email. We want to have a nice
mix of creators here throughout the day. It will be your chance to meet
people, introduce yourselves and hopefully get your book into some
hands. We're going to have some FANTASTIC specials that day and there
just might be a surprise or two to help ring in the New Year in
spectacular fashion!

BRAINSTORM COMICS WATCH FOR WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28th!
Hey everyone! Thank you for joining us again for another edition of our weekly newsletter.
INDIE COMIC WEEK - DECEMBER 27th THROUGH JANUARY 2nd!
As you may (or may not know), Diamond is NOT shipping anything the last week of December. But in place of that we're going to feature local creators AND have a day long New Years celebration. We'll have some food, some soda, some comics and some fun. Just because there's nothing from Diamond doesn't mean you have to stay away.
So, if you are a local artist or writer and you have a book that you want people to see, then email me. If you know someone who has their own book, then forward them this email. We want to have a nice mix of creators here throughout the day. It will be your chance to meet people, introduce yourselves and hopefully get your book into some hands.
We're going to have some FANTASTIC specials that day and there just might be a surprise or two to help ring in the New Year in spectacular fashion!
COMIXOLOGY I know, I keep pushing this. But I truly think it's an awesome site and really is part of the wave of the future in comic retailing. Want to have more control over your pull list? Then set it up on www.comixology.com and then link it to our store. I get an email daily with all updates made the day before. It's really simple.
1. When you go to the website you'll need to register for the free account. 2. Then you'll get an email asking you to confirm your registration. 3. Once that is confirmed, you can start building your list. 4. To add something as a regular pull, hit the 'Subscribe' button. If you can't find a particular title, go to the Power Search in the upper right hand corner. 5. To add just a certain issue, hit the 'Pull' button. 6. To link your list to Brainstorm, type in the 60622 zip code in the Shop Locator. 7. Locate the listing for Brainstorm in the list and click on the link. 8. Choose the 'Connect' button on the left, fill out the subscriber agreement form and you're done!
To confirm that it took, when you log into the site under your username click on the SETTINGS link. This takes you to a page EDIT YOUR PROFILE where you'll choose SETTINGS...under that is RETAILER CONNECTION...it should list Brainstorm there. Then you'll know it's done.
If you have problems with the site or locating a particular issue, let me know or email the people at ComiXology. We'll figure out a way around it. Here's a direct link to the Brainstorm page linked to ComiXology.

BRAINSTORM COMICS WATCH FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT 23rd!
Welcome back to this weeks Brainstorm Comics Watch Newsletter! I'm getting the newsletter out early this week because we've got a ton of stuff to do to get ready for the Windy City Comic Con on Saturday.
WINDY CITY COMIC CON
This coming weekend, on Saturday Sept. 19th is the 2nd Annual Windy City Comic Con at Center on Halsted, located at 3656 N Halsted, Chicago, IL 60613. The event will start at 10am and run till 6pm. For a complete list of retailers and creators appearing at this event check out the cons website at windycitycomicon.com.
We're going to be blowing out BACK ISSUES for only $1.00 a piece. And we'll have a Windy City Comic Con Short Box Special. It's real simple. Fill a short box with 100 comics for $75.00. Did I mention that we'll throw in the box as well? Oh, and we'll also have a coupon for people spending $25 dollars at the booth that will get them 25% off their next purchase. And we'll have raffle tickets available at the booth for our upcoming KOMIC BOOK KARAOKE!
KOMIC BOOK KARAOKE
What could possibly make karaoke better? How about dressing up as your favorite comic book superhero (or villain) and then singing your little heart out! Throw in a raffle with some really great prizes and you've got a win/win situation! And that's what we call KOMIC BOOK KARAOKE!
Help us celebrate our 6 year anniversary by coming out to the Blue Frog on October 4th. We're still figuring out what time it will run on Sunday evening. We have confirmed that there will be Free Tarot Card Readings by Aly De Luca of caffe De Luca!
We currently have raffle tickets available at the store. We cannot take payments through Paypal for the raffle tickets. Against their rules. Sorry. But if you want to email us or call us, we can set you up.

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have confirmed that our books
will be coming on Wednesday. According to Diamond, the shipment from
last Wednesday, the 19th, is also on its way. It would appear that it
is going to arrive with this first shipment, but it may come on a
separate UPS trunk later that day. Worst case being it arriving on
Thursday. But, the important thing is that EVERYTHING is on it's way.
I know that I spoke to a number of people regarding the titles from
last week. Some went ahead and bought them at other stores. I
understand. We lost a few people because of this as well. Some took
their lists to other stores already and I understand that too.
Hopefully we'll be able to win them back one day.
So, if you do NOT need last weeks books from August 19th, please let
me know and I'll be sure to remove you from last weeks pull list.
I hope we didn't lose any more subscribers, but if you have moved your
pull list to another store, please let me know and I'll be sure to
amend our master list of subscribers.
Thank you all for your support and patience through this difficult week.
Robert

BRAINSTORM COMICS WATCH FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26th Well...what a week this has been. First and foremost I want to let you all know that the outpouring of support since this past Wednesday has been overwhelming and such a source of strength and inspiration for all of us that work here. I truly am grateful to all of you. Someone (or perhaps multiple people) forwarded our email to Diamond. The long and the short of that action is that we worked out something with Diamond and we will be getting our books from August 19th with our regular shipment scheduled for this Wednesday. So, if you have already picked up your books from last Wednesday, let me know and we'll be sure to NOT pull them for you. I know some of you have already set up new pull lists at other stores and I completely understand. If this is the case and you haven't let us know yet, please email or call us before this coming Wednesday. As for where things stand right now, we're going to continue with our 50% off sale on everything currently on the shelves. Back issues, games, tees, trades, variants, comic packs, toys and action figures, posters. We're moving forward, but it is one day at a time and while Diamond has stated that they will work with us, we need to make sure we are covered. And if that means letting go of surplus inventory at half off, then that's what we're going to do. I just want to say thank you to everyone for EVERYTHING! There is so much I want to say, but I wanted to get this out to everyone as soon as possible to assure you with unwavering certainty that we will have books this week. While things are difficult and uncertain, there is hope and action is being taken on a number of different fronts. When you refer to Brainstorm as YOUR comic shop, I want you to know that it truly is your shop. I have seen that in your faces and heard that in your voices and read that in your messages and emails. As long as there is a chance we will continue to make sure YOUR comic shop stays put.

Everyone!
I just got off of the phone with someone from Diamond and we will be getting last weeks books on Wednesday, August 29th. We will also be getting the books for Wednesday the 29th on that day as well.
If you picked up this past Wednesday's books somewhere else, I understand. Send me an email and I'll be sure to not put them in your file next week.
I just hope that you will come back to us next week. If not, please let me know if you've taken your list elsewhere already.
We will continue to offer the 50% off sale on everything but on Wednesday all the comics on the rack will go back to regular price.
But anything not on hold currently, packs, trades, back issues, tees, posters, magazines, action figures, games and whatever I forgot to include here will continue to be 50% off!
Thank you all for your support and understanding. --

To our Valued Customers and Friends,
Today our terms with Diamond were changed to C.O.D. Certified Check. We had a problem with one of our checks from a few weeks ago and I had hoped to clear it up with the shipment from this week. But Diamond decided otherwise. The comics are the backbone of our income. With our sales down significantly, it has been harder to keep up.
I am delivering this news today with a very heavy heart that is breaking in half. Barring a miracle (anybody have one?), Brainstorm Movies, Comics and Gaming will be closing its doors once and for all. As of this writing I am projecting that our final day of business will be Sunday, October 4th.
I am asking that all files be emptied by September 16th. With the exception of what is currently being held in the subscriber boxes, everything in the store is 50% off regular price.
As for the liquidation of our movie inventory, we will be making an announcement later this week. There are titles we have in the selection that are on loan to us, so we have to make sure we pull those out and return them.
We will have a booth at the Windy City Comic Con on Saturday, September 19th. It is our hope to liquidate our remaining inventory that day.
For those of you who have consignments with us, we can pull your inventory over the next several weeks or we can continue to sell your consignments and then settle up once and for all in September. If we don't hear from you, we'll proceed with that course of action.
There are a great number of you who have been coming in almost every week since the day you discovered us. I thank you for that continued and constant support.
So the question on everyone’s mind I imagine is ‘What happened?’ I will try to answer that as clearly and efficiently as possible. I realize that this is going to have an affect on a number of people and I feel you deserve to know.
In March of 2008 we saw our first dip. It wasn’t much, just a few hundred dollars. But in hindsight I think that is where it started. That was when those customers who worked in construction and real estate started to quietly fade away. Messages were left, sometimes we got responses, but they never came back.
As the summer of 2008 got going and moving season started, we had a number of people who left Chicago, either because it had gotten too expensive to live here or they got a new job in another state. Moving and starting over, sometimes without a new job, dictates how much money you can spend on nonessentials. Some of our customers moved away, but stayed with us and set up mail order accounts, which I was grateful for.
Still others had new additions to your families. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that babies need their parents to be the heroes. Batman and Wolverine can take care of themselves. I would expect nothing less and I have enjoyed meeting each of those up and coming comic book fans. I hope to stay in touch and see these little geeks become big geeks.
We’ve had friends who lost their jobs or saw their incomes diminished by mortgages that reset, or jobs that were redefined by economic factors. There have been various trials that everyone has had to endure as a result of this economic collapse from medical emergencies, to cars that stop running and furnaces that die out, to temporary layoffs. As a result, they weren’t able to pick up books anymore or they had to cut down to a fraction of what they used to buy. Many hoped that their setback was temporary, so they stopped coming in as regularly as they used to. The intention was there, but the money wasn’t. And comics can pile up very quickly.
Ten books at thirty bucks can quickly become forty books at a hundred and twenty bucks. Multiply any combination of that number by dozens of people who have every intention of getting their subscriptions, but have had to put off picking up books and…well, it does have its place in this turn of events.
Changes within the comic industry such as the price increases and all of the extensive invasions and crisis after crisis have slowly eroded the budgets of a number of people. When the hobby of collecting is set against higher prices and the recession, even with a discount and free bags and boards, it has been harder for people to continue buying the amount of titles they used to.
While sales might be booming during a big event, when that event ends, it creates a sales vacuum. Over the past years we’ve seen one event lead into another event, but even then, there is only so much that the buying public can take. And if the writing falls apart in the last issue, then you lose the reader. They approach the next big thing with caution, if at all. We saw a lot of that after those last events from DC and Marvel. Sadly the industry doesn’t seem to get this.
From the DVD rental perspective, shops like ours have recently become byproduct casualties of the war between the online rentals, video on demand and the DVD rental kiosks that have seemingly infiltrated every grocery store. No matter what the rental special is, a store like this can’t compete on that level. And the areas where we do excel, selection, customer service and smart people with tons of film knowledge, just isn’t valued as much as the belief that there’s no late fees on that movie sitting on the coffee table for six weeks.
Throw in the banks cutting off access to credit, the collapse of the housing market, the jobless rate and all of the factors I’ve outlined above, I’m grateful that we managed to hold on for as long as we did. And lately it truly felt like we might turn it around. We’d been getting new subscribers, some with quite substantial lists.
But then there was the week when we had a large Diamond shipment, payroll, payroll taxes, rent, property taxes and credit card processing charges all due in the same week. It was more than what we could bring in and we never pulled out of that hole. While the talking heads say that the recession is over, we’re hearing from our people that they are in still in the same situation, staring at a stack of bills wondering where the money is going to come from.
And all of that has brought us to this point.
I will always look back on this time and I will smile because there was a time when I was one of the owners of what I truly feel was THE BEST DAMNED COMIC SHOP IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. We created something special here that I am very proud of. We tried to raise the bar on what to expect from a comic shop and I think we succeeded. We tried to educate people with facts and honesty and you showed your appreciation with loyalty. I like to think that we brought a little bit of class and integrity to what we did here.
We couldn’t have made Brainstorm what it was without all of you, our customers, our supporters, our friends. Thank you all for helping make our dream come true. This will always be a very special time in my life and I will treasure all of the friendships we have made here. I intend to stay in touch, one way or another.
I asked Matt to include anything he wanted to say, so please keep reading.
I wish each and every one of you all the best that love and life and hope and faith can bring.
Thank you so much for your support and your friendship. You’re all heroes in my eyes.
Robert
I think Robert said everything that needed to be said about what has happened to Brainstorm, and why, so I will just add a few personal thoughts of my own.
When I was growing up in southern Oregon, I had it all planned out. Big dreams. I would grow up, go to high school, win an academic scholarship to get me the hell out of that Podunk burg, become a famous novelist, and conquer the world. And I did accomplish at least three of those things, but along the way, my dreams started to change.
When my family got their first VCR in the middle eighties, I quickly fell in love with a thrilling new sort of venue: the local video store. There were a few in my home town, but it wasn’t until I found the one with ten million horror movies that I’d never heard of, displayed in a dusty labyrinth of seven-foot-high shelves, that I began to realize the possibilities. I love movies. But more than that, I love to share movies with people who haven’t seen them yet. I love to help people remember the name of that movie they’ve forgotten, and to trade stories about the first time we saw Heathers or Evil Dead 2. I wanted to be the guy who had the video store.
The other life-changing experience I had at this time was that my favorite used book store – The Bunker Hill Book Exchange – started to carry comics. Not a whole lot, but enough to be worth a look. I hadn’t had a comic subscription since I was in the single digits, but when Ramona started bringing them into the Exchange, I started to shop there a lot more frequently. That’s when I began to collect what became my very first complete run – the 100 issues of Firestorm that ran from 1982 to 1987. I still have those issues, and though they are far from the best stories I’ve ever read, they are extremely special to me. They re-invigorated my love of comics, a love that got me through the bleak years of puberty and high school, a love that kept me drawing and writing stories.
When Robert was managing Specialty Video in Lakeview back in 2002, he interviewed me for a job. During the interview, he had a handful of comic books sitting on a case of HeroClix figures on the floor behind him. I knew that we would get along.
When he started to talk about his dream of opening up a comic book shop of his own, I certainly shared his enthusiasm, though not a lot of hope that it would ever really happen. But he was determined to see it through, and I was excited to be asked to help make Brainstorm a reality.
I would have been happy just to work for Robert. But I was given the opportunity to become co-owner of a store that seemed tailor-made to my own specifications! Here was a beautiful comic book shop that was also a local video store, where I had a chance to turn the movie collection into everything I wanted it to be. I will always be proud to be a part of Brainstorm, and grateful that I was asked.
I’d like to thank all of our customers for allowing me to spend six wonderful years here, helping to build what I still believe is the greatest store in Chicago. For the first time in my life, I found myself in a job where I liked coming to work, enjoyed what I did there, and could go home at the end of the day to work on my art without feeling like something had been carved out of me. I love this place with all my heart, and I know that many of you feel the same way.
This has been a dream come true for me, and I don’t know what I’ll do without all of you.
Matt
PS: I need a job.

Class of 1989, Mike O'Donnell (Zac Efron) is a star on the high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlet and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike's (Matthew Perry) glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlet (Leslie Mann) has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned (Thomas Lennon). But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool among the class of 2009.
