Local News - Poker Tournament, Wrestling, and Silver Age Comics!
Howdy!
One week from this Saturday (August 26th) is the date for our next awesome
Texas Hold'em poker tournament.
The game begins at 11 AM, and the winners should be determined by about 3 PM. There will
be $1,000 in Mile High Comics gift certificates as prizes, with $500 for 1st, $200 for 2nd,
and $100 each for 3rd-5th. Entry for the game is a $25 donation to the
Chelsea Hutchison Foundation,
which aids children afflicted with epilepsy.

As is always the case, your advance registration and $25 donation earns you an immediate
$25 gift certificate from
Mile High Comics,
that can then be used to purchase anything that we offer in
our stores.
In effect, we are providing you with the opportunity to play for free, with the possibility
that you might also get lucky and win a huge prize. Our tournaments are amazingly fun, and
definitely help some very good causes. You can register right now at any one of
our three Mile High Comics locations.
Last Poker Tournament
To answer a question that we have been asked about the timing of our poker events, it all
comes down to when we can obtain the services of our volunteer dealers. The weekends at the
end of the summer tend to be very busy, so we were actually quite lucky to have six dealers
agree to participate next Saturday. So you know, our next big poker tournament will be held
on September 23rd, and it will be a huge benefit event for the
Matthew Shepard Foundation.
Matthews parents will be coming to town for a fundraiser organized by Anthony Aragon from the
Denver Mayor's office on October 13th, and we will be presenting all the funds raised at the
poker tournament to the Shepards at that event. Mark your calendars now to save the date!
In other news, I want you to know that over the past few weeks that we have been purchasing
tens of thousands of
comics,
magazines,
and
books
at our
Jason St. Mega-Store.
I am not exactly sure what opened the floodgates, but we have been inundated with people selling
us great material over the past month. As a direct result, our sales at
Jason St.
were up by a whopping 60%! in July, as compared with the same month last year. If you are looking
for any scarce comics, you really should stop by
Jason St.
and have a look around. I own the place, and I keep seeing cool new items on shelves that I had
no idea that we even owned...
My final item for today is a quick mention that we are going to be hosting an incredible live
wrestling tournament on September 30th. The details are on the flyer below:

Happy collecting!
