We love animals - dogs, cats, hamsters, porcupines, it doesn't matter. It's why our four-legged friends are always welcome in our stores (on a leash, please!) and why every July we put a special emphasis on a variety of animal-themed events and organizations. This month's roster includes pet adoptions, craft projects for kids, presentations by the Desert Museum and Wildlife World Zoo, and even pet psychics. Check the Events Calendar for a full listing.

Thanks to all of the kids (and their parents! and sometimes more than 100 of you at a single event!) who've made it out to our first month of Summer Kids Events.

Music inspires a unique passion in those who truly love it. We collect it, we catalog it, we talk about it, we share it, and we fall like dominoes from one band to another in search of recapturing that moment of recognition certain artists inspire within us upon first listen. We also read about it, from the hardened memoirs of those who barely scraped out a living sharing their work with the world (or who nearly buckled under the weight of that world's expectations), to the ruminations of professional critics who strive to pinpoint what defines genius where genius is subjective.

This past weekend marked the first time Devastation has teamed up with Big Boys & Their Toys Expo, providing their largest arena to date at the Phoenix Convention Center. I had the honor of being there all three days! Every morning, when I walked into the lobby to set up for the day, there was a huge line of incredibly dedicated gamers waiting for the chance at some very large cash prizes. Who said you can’t make money playing video games?

Bookmans was proud to sponsor the seventh annual Flagstaff Music Festival this past weekend. We all had a great time giving away free CDs, t-shirts, yo-yos, candy, magic toys, and gift certificates. Between local bluegrass, rock, and reggae bands, Geoff Jackson strummed away on his purple Hannah Montana guitar while Kate's 8-month-old daughter Maxine clapped along and Miss Regina charmed the gents in her sleeveless Bookmans tee. The in-store performances Thursday and Friday night by Backroads, a bluegrass band, and Rhythm Oasis, a middle-eastern group, were also a real hit!

Devastation 2009 kicked off Friday with a line of gamers forming as early as 7 a.m. for registration - that is dedication, people. The line for badge pick-up stretched well into the lobby for most of the morning, with the action picking up on the floor with the matches for Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, and the Bookmans-sponsored Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
