What's New?



Hey all —

RSD Black Friday is coming up! The event of course takes place the day after Thanksgiving, on Friday November 29th. The list is live now and you can find it HERE. As always we'll get as many of these titles as possible, but there are always allocations and delays so we can't promise that everything here will be available on Black Friday itself. The best thing to do is check back regularly to see if there are any changes and have your list ready when you show up for our event on the day itself. We'll be opening at our normal open time of 10 AM and all the usual RSD event restrictions will be in place — no pre-orders, no online orders, no holds, and only one copy of any individual title for the RSD weekend itself. On Monday 12/2 all restrictions will be lifted! Please feel free to drop by or call with any questions you have about the event, but note that we cannot give any information about pricing or quantity on hand. Lastly, we are offering service fee-free tickets to this year's Itchy-O Hallowmass shows. Like last year, it'll be taking place over several shows — 10/31 through 11/2, with an early and late show each night — at a smaller venue, the newly opened event space The Truss House, in RiNo Art Park (3400 Arkins Ct). This WILL sell out, so if get your tix now before they're gone!
