Speaking of old friends...
Just heard from Joe; Joe used to help us out at the Fraser Mall and on Dundas Street with the "joe" jobs! He used to buy lots of model kits from us, back in the day. We used to display some of his finished kits in the store: 'Mars Attacks', 'Aliens',. He even did up a Ghost Rider kit that someone liked so much they smashed our window on Dundas Street to steal it in the middle of the night! He moved to Edmonton to get work welding. Well, he's given up the"joe" jobs and is using his welding skills to make metal sculptures. I would describe his work as HR Giger-esque with a little bit of Tim Burton. You can visit his website here, if you dare!

Congratulations to Roy!
Nothing like the holidays to hear from old friends or old employees. Some of you might remember Rodrigo, (Roy!) who worked at L.A. Mood's a few years back. He also self published his own comic called The Sublimes. It seems he participated in the 24 Hour Comic Challenge 2006 in October, and his entry was chosen to be one published in the book. This book will be coming out in March and will be advertised in January 2007 Previews. L.A. Mood Comics & Games will be carrying this book and anyone who would like to pre-order it, please let us know before the end of January. You can visit Rodrigo at his blog here.

Friday Night Magic Cancelled!
Sorry folks, but FNM is cancelled due to the snowstorm. Since the London Transit is shut down for today, Johnathon can't make it in. So the Draft will be next Friday instead, December 15th.
In the mean time, L.A. Mood's is still open, but will probably close early instead of at 8PM today. City Lights and Forest City Coin are also open right now. But it is best to call ahead to make sure before venturing out today. Shoppers Drug Mart is open, but the Scotiabank and the Market is closed. The sidewalks are plowed on Richmond from York to Dundas but not north of Dundas. The streets are looking better, but drivers watch out for pedestrians; many are walking on the street because not all the sidewalks are done yet.
Take care out there and happy snow day!

Merry Christmas from all the staff of L.A.Mood's!!!!We are not looking forward to our annual inventory! So to make our job easier we've decided to mark down the prices NOW of some of the older stuff gathering dust in the corners! Get rid of them now, so we don't have to count them! We marked down trade-paperbacks, and that includes manga, D20 games, toys (Buffy, DC Direct, NBA to name a few), and board games (someone bought 6 games an hour after it had been discounted!) There are some really good deals for the smart shopper!
Also currently we have a 20% off sale on all back issues, 25%off all in stock DVD's and 50% off all manga (not including pre-orders).
Don't forget our final 15th Anniversary Sale! What crazy things do we have planned for December 15th? Well, I am not going to tell you yet ;) You will just have to stay tuned to this blog!!!

Marvel's Editoral & Business Sense??
Those who are regulars at the store and talk comics with me, know that I sometimes have very concerned thoughts about Marvel's editoral and Business sense as of the last year or so.
well in this review of X-Men Phoenix Warsong #3 at the X-Axis website, kinda sums up how I feel. Click on the link Here
Let me know your thoughts either in the comments section or at the store.

FNM AND ITS CRAZYNESS!!
Timespirl saw its first standard in the underground this week with some surprising turnout. Lots of good deck saw play, but combo seemed to dominate the night as Paul Dobbs came out with a 4 - 0 win for first place, Leaving Larry and I in his trails.
As for right now, I'm still waiting to see if the DCI will get back to me with sanctioning info for november. Regardless of what happens, we are going to play another attack of Standard for the first FNM of November. So bring your decks and prepare for a big beat down!

Friday Night Magic: GOODBYE KAMIGAWA!
This week was the final type 2 tourny with the Infamous KAMIGAWA BLOCK. That means no more jittes or Kokusho's or even Heartbeat. YAY ! Nows the time to make way for Time Spiral. Already the forums are buzzing with activity try to peice together the Next Big Standard Deck. So far I think combo will be the way to go. Easy to pull off combos with Enduring Renewal, Wild Cantor and Grapeshot have already shown me a thing or two. Although Agrro may just get the boost it needs to be a major contendor. All will be revealed soon. This week we have a Sealed Event. That means 1 Tournament Pack of Time Spiral, and 2 boosters of any Type 2 you want. Why do i say any. Well seeing as it is the first time Time Spiral will be played in type 2, I thought it might be a great idea to let players see what works best with Time Spiral. As for me, I'll be playing Stright Time Spiral, "Gotta get those Blooms!"

Friday Night Magic !! and Timespiral !!
The Oct 6th Friday Night Magic saw the first Draft of the new set Timespiral, and WOW was ever a draft. Almost none of the players had seen any of the cards before they cracked their first booster, which made for a very intresting event. With timespiral becoming legal as of the 20th of october, the draft was a peek into the future to come. With power cards like Magus of the Disk and Ancestral Visions, Timespiral is sure to shake up Standard play like no set has in years. The Timeshifted cards may be as powerful in Standard as the new set itself. With the printing of Bad Moon and Undead Warchief, you can be sure to see the return of Mono-Black decks.
Speaking of October 20th, We have a Sealed Deck tourny for our FNM. This will Include Timespiral. In fact the by in will be 1 Tournament pack of Timespiral and 2 boosters of your choice from the Ravnica Block.
As for next Friday, Its Standard. So show up and play for a chance to win a FNM Arrogant Wurm!

Dr Who Day at L.A. Mood's
On September 16, L.A. Mood's and the Brethren from Time and Space were happy to host a Dr Who Fan appreciation day.
Fans brought in some of their favourite memorabilia and were able to watch some new and old episodes as well as a documentary, 30 Years in the Tardis.
Here at L.A. Mood's we've seen a warm reception to the latest Dr Who and people are anxious to see the latest season. I've seen some argue that Dr Who is better than Star Trek! Imagine that...maybe Firefly is better than Star Trek...but Dr Who...I am not so sure. (We welcome your comments :)

Classic Corny Cover!
or Bring Back the Word Balloons, Baby!
In case you can't read it on line I'll transcribe the cover dialogue of "Supergirl starring in Adventure Comics #388 featuring---"The Romance MACHINE!"
-Be with you in a minute, darling... as soon as I finish dressing!
....He doesn't dream his date, Linda Danvers, is Supergirl!
-Take your time, Linda Baby!
....She doesn't dream I'm a computer, programmed by Brainiac to break her heart!
It's classic! Did you check out the ruffles?! Groovy! and that sophisticated computer on his chest...mmm...Analog!

Newest Heroclix Info & a look to Horrorclix's future
The Release date for the next Heroclix set, Marvel Supernova has been moved from Oct. 25 to Nov. 15 2006.
the cause of the relase date change is so that Wizkids can enforce it new quality measures on Supernova. (which after some Sinister problems is good news imo) The Press release can be read here. Also from the same press release are the dates for the next New Guy Night (or day as we have events usually at 11 am), which will be Oct. 21 Sat. The limited edition give away this time will the "Silver Centurion" Iron Man. The Supernova marquee is tentatively planned for the 16th of Nov.
Also at this time we are coming closer & closer to Horrorclix's launch date of Aug. 30, the store will be running events for new game, as we have an envoy or "Zombie Master" signed up to run events, be on the lookout fo flyers for the first event.
Also I found some info about a future release that may interest people. Now be aware we have no release date yet, and I'm guess it will be sometime in 2007 but there will be AVP Alien Queen Horrorclix piece! the best part is that it will be sold in retail locations (like us). So be sure to pick up a clixbrick (12 boosters) of the first set of Horrorclix, so you can not only get a discount, but first dibs on the AVP Aliens collector's set from Wizkids.
