I'm upvoting this simply because it's the first time this month, possibly this year, that I've seen someone correctly use and spell "queue."
I guess it was your cue to upvote something.
I learned this word from Roller Coaster Tycoon as a kid lol.
right? it drives me nuts!
handy guide for the confused reader:
cue (kyoo) a prompt or signal, also a pole used for pool and billiards games
queue (kyoo) a line of people, also a braid
que (keh) spanish for "what" or "that"
THESE ARE DIFFERENT WORDS PEOPLE
This was in Minneapolis earlier this year and the demand was through the roof.
I mean if all the small bookstores came together at a brewery/pub in my town I would be intrigued too.
Weird how every town used to have a small bookstore, and they all went out of business because Borders and Barnes and Noble and Fox Books put all the little guys out of business, and then they all disappeared because Amazon put them out of business, and now people are clamoring for more small shops in their local towns.
What does "adult scholastic book fair" mean?
Is it a book fair for adult shoppers?
Or a fair of adult content books?Yeah, I think I would misunderstand it too
Yes.
What a great idea. I remember being super excited for book fairs in elementary school. Add beer? So there.
Never let anybody tell you books are dead.
So you're telling me the trees are still alive after we make them into books? That's pretty cool
You need to read more Terry Pratchett.
Of course, everyone does.
Ok...books are goth.
In fairness, I saw this and immediately thought about going before the brain kicked in and said probably not near me 😂
Given snow in the picture and it’s late spring in the northern hemisphere, it’s “ A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
Beer, Goosebumps, giant Guiness Book of World Records no one can afford and crazy pencil toppers? Hell yeah they underestimated the demand.
Reportedly this is where some kids found gems like Roller Coaster Tycoon in just a CD jewel case, too. :D
Man.....kid me got fucked over.... weren't no games at the ones I went to! In fact some Karen complained about Goosebumps books so much after the one when I was in 4th grade that in 5th grade there weren't any. There WAS a letter handed out to every kid full naming the person who killed Goosebumps for everyone....
So is this like a place where you can buy Animorphs and Goosebumps, and there's also beer on tap?
There was a similar thing local to me last year and apparently it was a huge hit. I'm hoping they do it again.

This is what we've always wanted since we left grade school.
With a food truck selling personal pan pizzas.
Jesus Christ, YES.
It covers 2 of the epic Bs of my life. Beer and books. I can see why this is a hit.
