My comic book guy asked if I'd consider picking up a shift as his shop one day a week. That's like a dream come true for a geek, isn't it?
Do it!!! If you want. Also? I can't remember if you're currently partnered, but girl working comic book store? Your geekshake will bring all the boys to the yard.
I spent the evening doing mad networking, with martinis, which was fun AND super-potential producing. Eric Clapton Cocainetini and er, 3 Rod Stewartinis.
I got a round comped, because my new contact dared me casually to flash the musician and bartender, and I was "Oh, sweetie, you have NO IDEA." They were in a corner, so I was all "Hey guys, hope you're good sports, but I have a dare riding on this, so..."
Shirt up. Jaws dropped. Round comped. Glad I was wearing a pretty bra.
I won't do life-threatening dares, but people dare me to do shit, and I'm all "ORLY?! My chutzpah, let me show you it."
Er...do not abuse this knowledge at the next F2F. Or do. Whatevs.
