Who Will Be Your Next American Idol ?
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: TV Shows

 

 Who Will Be Your Next

  American Idol?

 

 

We know his name will be David…


I know who I WANT to win.  But, like the Oscars, Super Bowls, and political elections, sometimes who you want isn’t the same as who you think will win.

I WANT David Cook to win, but I’m a little afraid to dream that the next American Idol would actually be someone whose CD I’d buy! 

I LOVE David Cook – his style, arrangements – and hey – he’s got a great voice.  He’s been the most original, and the most consistent, performer all season.  He’s had the biggest “Idol” moments. (Remember: “Hello,” “Billie Jean,” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.”

Unfortunately, I THINK David Archuleta just might be the winner.  He fits much better into the American Idol pop cookie-cutter.  And he’s got the lock on the core American Idol fan base.  I guess I have to face it, David Cook isn’t what we’re hearing on the radio today.  It’s pop, not creative rock.

I’m holding out some hope though.  I did another unofficial beauty parlor survey after last week’s elimination, and could only locate ONE David Archuleta fan.  In fact, she was the only Archuleta fan I’ve encountered all season!

Here’s hoping Idol is COOK-ed!

Let us know who you think it will be, and who you want.

Shipping Charges are NOT Going Up!

Shipping Charges

 Are NOT Going Up!

 

The below is our Newsletter that is on its' way to our eBay Newsletter Subscribers:

News Flash: 

“Despite recent US postage hikes and rising fuel costs, Make It So Marketing announces that they will NOT increase their Flat Rate Shipping charge for Comic Books shipped to USA addresses.”

Dear Reader,

In today’s economic climate, it is big news when a company decides NOT to raise its rates!

Even though the United States Postal Service raised postage rates on May 12, 2008, we decided to hold the line on our Flat Rate Shipping charge. 

The majority of our customers’ purchases, namely comic books ('raw' / 'unslabbed' comics) being shipped to USA addresses, are covered by our Flat Rate Shipping charge of only $4.99 -- no matter the quantity of comics ordered. 

Rest assured, we’re not skimping on packaging.  Your comic book purchase, (of 1 - 3 comics), will continue to be expertly packaged in a bag and board, then wrapped in a folder secured with a cardboard sheet and inserted in a bubble wrap envelope. 

An order of 1-3 comic books with packaging usually weighs a little less than 13 ounces and is shipped via USPS First Class mail with delivery confirmation.  When you order 4 or more comics, your order is shipped via USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail Envelope with delivery confirmation.  FYI, the USPS raised their Flat Rate Priority Mail fee to $4.80, so with the delivery confirmation, we’re actually losing money on this. 

We will COMBINE shipping for mixed items (magazines / comics / books / promo items) whenever possible to save you money on combined shipping charges, but these items are NOT part of our 'unlimited shipping flat rate fee' when comics are mixed with other type of items, due to the weight and odd sizes of the items!

For our International customers, please read complete details on International Shipments at our blog post:

We appreciate your patronage and we will continue to do our best to keep costs reasonable and fair for you.

Have Fun with Jack Bauer and 24 Until Next Season!

Topic: TV Shows

 

Have Fun with

 Jack Bauer 

and

 “24

 Until Next Season!

 

Jack Bauer and “24 were one of the major casualties of the recent writers’ strike.  Like most fans, I could hardly wait until January for a new day.  But the strike knocked the new season of the wildly popular show to January 2009!  Yikes – what’s a citizen to do?

Play the 24 Card Game!

Yes, you too can be a CTU agent hot on the trail of a ruthless terrorist!  Or, you might even BE the terrorist – it’s all in the luck of the draw in this exciting game.  It feels just like the show – as the CTU agent you collect and use “Technology” cards like “Gear,” “Science,” and “Intel” to defeat the terrorist.  You’ll feel like you’re Chloe, or Bill Buchanan.
 
Ironically, the card game is “Made in China.”  I wonder how Jack Bauer  feels about that!

Thank YOU To The 150,000th Blog Visitor!
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Comic Book History

 

We Want To Thank 

The

 150,000th

Visitor...

To Our Pop Culture And Comics Blog!

We just finished having a late dinner, and was getting ready to close down for the night, when I saw that our small niche pop culture and comics blog reached the 150,000 th visitor while we were eating!

(That would be 150,000 visitors, NOT page views. There have been over 272,000 page views of our 2,500+ archived blog posts per our stats counter. The eBay counter at the top left area says over 436,000 views, but that number is not verifiable.)

The visitor came in at 6:58 PM PST and viewed the "She Made It To The SDCC  For Autographs!" blog post that was from August 2nd, 2007! That post was about Elvira who was not promoting a film or show, and was still there autographing!

We want to thank that blogger as well as ALL of the others who have come to view our blog posts since we started keeping stats on July 15, 2006!

We actually started the Blog on June 7th 2006, when we came back home and blogged about viewing the X-Men III Film and deciding to list some X-Men comics!

Having bloggers like the 150,000th AND NOW YOU come in and view our blog posts always makes our day or evening!  Thanks again for visiting us!

For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing pop culture - comics convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

We appreciate your reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and please visit our blog again!

Michael (and Tina)

Above is the photo that was included with the blog post that was viewed by our 150,000th visitor! The photo was from the 146th issue of "Elvira Mistress Of The Dark" comic book series. It was perfect for our blog post text about Elvira showing up at the San Diego Comic Con (SDCC 2007) in person!

So the interest in anything Indiana Jones will be building even more as we get closer to that date!
