BPE wins best place to rent a movie 2008

So we were voted Best Place to Rent a Movie for the 2nd straight year by Cityview. Thank you to those who voted.
Next year: Best place to make out, and best nachos. Let's make it happen. Someone buy us a nacho machine and start making out, possibly with nachos.

A note of correction from that issue: despite the article, we have been in existence longer then 2 years. In fact, since 2003.

We came up 2nd in Best locally owned store.

Some have asked in response "who won? what is Des Moines' best kept locally owned secret?!"

That's right, Frank Stallone.
Sorry, bad SNL norm macdonald joke.

It's actually, drum roll, Deck the walls?

That's right, the local franchise of the national corporate chain of framing establishments located in the mall.

Now, before it sounds like sour grapes because I'm sure the Deck the Walls people are nice and whose ever heard of a seedy frame shop anyway, I only mention it because in a bizarre twist, I actually have a locally owned framing store opinion, which I never thought would ever come up in any conversation ever for any reason.

Dot's Framing on the southside who we like to visit time to time, and who also framed much of what hangs on Cup O'Kryptonite's walls. They do good work.

Again, thanks to all.

4 Year Anniversary shirts from December will be on sale in perpetuity till our stock is gone. While not final, we'll probably put them for sale at $6-8. Check instore next week sometime.

A Beta version of a paypal fuelled online store page will be up end of march hopefully. Nothing huge, just a place to sell posters, shirts, used stuff, and whatever knick knacks and things we can think of. It is totally in the air, and may end up being something or nothing at all, we'll see.

For those who were looking for the TV Show The Wire, we got in all 4 seasons recently.
