Confessions of a Book Store Owner

I'm Mik. Model, mother, moron. Future meta-magician. Former logic clinician.

My better half and I own Brainfood Bookstore in Longmont, Colorado. It is the only exclusively indie- and local-lit bookstore in the nation. We meet a lot of crazy folks.

Testimonial from a former roommate:
"Living with you was like living with a quiet little opinionated deer person who floated around like a ghost and said smart/nutso things and ate seaweed. "

I love Colorado. I love mountains. I love hiking. I read and write. I raise my children to the best of my ability. I have lupus and have defeated early-stage cancer twice, so I pretty much fully support the use of medical marijuana.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

This is probably the meanest thing.

But I hate people who have gluten allergies. All I can think of is how ugly the words sound G L U E E E. Then what a waste of resources it is to have gluten free options in regular restaurants. Catering to the minority is a waste of profit (in this situation).

Ummmm you’re joking right.

Also, you’re wrong. Restaurants with gluten-free options make a HUGE profit off of those dishes because most people with celiac disease are willing to pay a price for some semblance of normalcy in their lives.

Okay, now the objective economical perspective of this issue has been addressed. How about we talk about we talking about how fucking inconsiderate you are?
