Newsletter Vol.2 No.36 11/11/05

Greetings from Quimper Sound. Big news! Starting this Wednesday 11/16 (he says, crossing fingers, knocking on wood, throwing salt over his shoulder and trying not to fall down) we will be opening an online store. Check out http://www.quimpersound.com (starting Wednesday) and shop local 24/7... in your underwear! It'll be a little rough around the edges initially, but there will be a lot to love. You can browse, read about, listen to samples(!), and buy nearly everything that's in print domestically as well as shop for thousands of import CDs and DVDs. For those of you who like to special order (and we already know most of you do) this is a great way to order whatever you want - whenever you want. And, perhaps best of all, you can choose to have the music, movies and videos you want shipped directly to your door (for the smallest shipping fee we can do) or picked up at the store no charge. We hope this will make shopping locally easy, fun, and even more convenient. Of course, you can still get the great customer service you've come to expect (and deserve) down at the shop - we're literally (and now virtually) here for you. As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
