I seem to have given up with the video blog, part of the reason is that i stopped being able to look at my face constantly whilst editing the video. I think from now on I will post what is happening to the business and possibly to me here, and occassionally add pieces of video as I go. So Things that have happened recently at my shop are:

Red Dwarf came to film at the shop, it made for a very different Friday. They changed the interior of the shop making it a Red Dwarf specialist retailer full of props and toys from the series. All the actors were charming and friendly, and I thought the crew were incredibly patient and polite. The Richmond and Twickenham times published a small article about it, which was another added piece of publicity.

Last weekend Guy and I set up a stand at the Richmond Japanese Art Festival, which was lovely. I spent the weekend watching traditional Japanese dances, drumming, marshal arts and the new phenominum of Cosplay. It was very enjoyable and quite profitable.

Well I am very surprised that I have managed to keep up with this blog thing for 4 whole weeks, though this weeks is quite a bit shorter and I'm not sure it says anything, still I feel quite pleased that I have got this far. So here is the new blog.

Ok so here is my second video blog, this was filmed through out the 2nd week back at the shop after Christmas. I was considering not uploading this blog, as life running a small shop can be a bit repetitive and I didn't feel that I had much to say about anything this week.

If you are wondering about what has happened about the sign above the shop, I did film a very non effective and pretty boring conversation with Richmond council which got nowhere. I didn't put it in the blog because it just didn't work as a one-sided conversation. So there is nothing much to report on the progress with the council.

Anyway here is the link to the new update:

So my New Years resolution is to keep a video diary about running a small business in a difficult year. I will be posting my diary onto youtube and then adding the links here, so if you would like to follow it, watch this space.

My first blog

2008-10-22T09:55:00.000-07:00

Allow me to introduce myself (as a Rolling Stone once said), I'm a girl of wealth and taste. I own and run the best comic/toy/games shop in all of Richmond-upon-Thames called They Walk Among Us. I would like to use this blog to talk to people about some of my favourite things that I sell and also about some of my favourite hobbies (of which I have many). Unfortunately I don't have long to write tonight as it is a Wednesday and that means that it is games club night. I run a games club at the Old Ship pub in Richmond, where anyone can turn up and play Magic the gathering and other board games. So I will have to post more later when I have more time. I just thought if I didn't start now prehaps I never would.
