The Meta-blog

I've transitioned all of my blogging - show-related, political, books, and other - over to a new site. If you want to, check it out and add it to your favorites and blogrolls.

It is http://newalbanist.wordpress.com/

I'll cross-post here, too, but you can get it all, including more than three years of archived material, at the meta-blog.

Blog Passes On

If you have by some coincidence found this site, please follow the link to our primary site, www.destinationsbooksellers.com. Thanks.

Business as Usual

Destinations Booksellers is open and doing business as usual. For some of you, we won't be able to identify a book as being one you ordered. New books arrive daily, so if you are expecting a call from us, make a call to us instead and we'll be able to deliver it promptly.

Live From Spring Street

We'll make this a permanent link to our Web site, but let the archives continue here for now. For news from Destinations Booksellers, please click here and make it one of your favorites:

Eyes Wide Open

Be watching your mail. Our "hard-copy" newsletter is due this week. Our Web site at www.destinationsbooksellers.com is rounding into shape. Rewards notices and Booksense Gift Cards are on their way for the period ending June 30. And we have a major book launch party set for Monday, Aug. 29.

Join Us For a Monday Concert

Join us Monday for a pre- or post- supper concert by Irvin "Woody" Mueller and his band.

Woody will be debuting the band's CD. This will be our first purely musical live performance at the store. If you like that idea, please come and show your support.

It starts at 6 p.m.

Woody will be signing copies of the CD and his volumes of song lyrics during the event.

Only For the Brave of Heart

Do you really want to be an insider at Destinations Booksellers?

Take a virtual drive by our Web site, now under construction. I really don't mind you peeking in the "windows," be be warned, it's still very much a work in progress.

We haven't decided whether to continue this blog...we can blog on our own site, so to speak, although there won't be a place for direct comments. Mainly, you folks have never been much for sharing your own thoughts, so we'll probably just make this one a placeholder for all of you early adopters.

Watch this space for the "official" announcement for the launch of our Web site.

I wanted to be live by now, so I'll go ahead and give you the Web-only special, just for being a loyal reader. Mention this special when you're in the store. For Patron Passport members, until the offer ends, buy any magazine and get 25% off a book. Some minor limits apply, but if you buy 4 magazines, you can take 25% off four books.

I know, it sounds nuts, but we want to get you in the habit of browsing the magazine racks.

Oh, yeah. The "beta" Web site, still under construction is:

http://destinationsbooksellers.haloapplications.com

soon to be destinationsbooksellers.com!
