Both in our stocking which is very focused on diverse product, it’s very book focused compared to a sort of traditional store. But Books With Pictures really came into the comics world looking to be a different kind of comic book store. Pryde: You know? So I hate to use the word ‘disruptive’ because it is such a nonsense tech boy word. Why did you think you had such a good chance? Miller: Okay, why is that? I feel like there was a 2% chance that a guest would answer that question in such an honest way, so I appreciate that. Pryde: I thought that Eitan or I were gonna win. Miller: Did you think you were going to win? Miller: You knew you were on the short list? But I’m not entirely sure what, other than ‘thank you’ a lot. And then there was a lot of hugging and then I went up on stage and said some things. And so we were sort of sitting together drinking bourbon and holding hands and feeling very nervous. But I was sitting actually, with Douglas Wolk, who is my comics bestie and permanent sidekick and with Eitan Manhoff who is the owner of one of the other nominated stores. Katie Pryde: I think I blacked out for a minute. Can you describe what happened when you were at that event and you heard the name of your store called?
