• Asked by New York Times Bestselling Author Neil Gaiman to head up the committee coordinating the Low Key Gathering event at the House on the Rock to celebrate Neil's novel American Gods over Hallowe'en weekend. I worked with a stellar team of volunteers and the wonderful staff at the House on the Rock to make this a Halloween none of us will forget! As an aside, I was also responsible for an auction (independent of the event) that allowed a select few hardship cases to make it to HotR for the weekend event, with additional proceeds benefiting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

Nov 1998 – Aug 2007 · 8 yrs 9 mos

• Worked as a generic floorperson at a bath/body shop and at Lee's Comics for short periods after doing time (5 years) at Rasputin Music. The independent record store taught me how to be a decent manager, how to be an excellent receiving manager, how to set up in-store appearances of artists - and get people to show up for them, how to babysit grown-ups who acted 12, how to babysit grown-up bosses who acted 12, how to react to rude people with tact, and how to be truly bitter and jaded about what constitutes "music worth listening to". The experience also taught me my limits and taught me how to quit before exploding. Go me.
