General Updates

Blackout Blues in New York City
The oppressive heat in NYC caused rolling power outages yesterday afternoon as millions of air conditioners competed against each other for electricity. Our office lights never went out but we did encounter some internet connectivity issues when a local Verizon facility ran into problems. Today's another really warm day and we expect some more outages when the mercury reaches its apex in the afternoon.
Nostalgia NCS
We found an old folder of invoices from 1996-1997 while moving some old records yesterday. There was an invoice for the Diehard Gamefan store that used to be in Manhasset, Long Island which was run by John Park and Todd Goldstein. Another invoice was for Knight's Video Games which was in California and a bunch of others. If we have the time and permission, we'll scan the invoices and post them up for curiosity's sake. They're fairly interesting... especially the prices for the Japanese Nintendo 64 console when it was first released in the summer of 1996.
