Special shout-out to Kathryn Harvey, as she’s the one who convinced me to offer my VTC’s in stores (her’s being the first one of course! World of Mirth). I’d intended to just give my cases away for free but she made the case that if they were available in other cities (like Richmond!) — and not just to whomever happens to run into me on the subway in NYC- then the conversations the cases would spark could expand exponentially. Smart.
