Wow, it's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone. I hope everyone was happy with whatever it was that Santa dropped off! Amy & I tried out the new version of the Game of Life, Rockstar version. I highly recomend it. Lots of interesting twists and turns on the way to stardom. We also managed to check out the new Sherlock Holmes movie....Excellent! As 2009 draws to a close, we see lots of exciting things on the Retro Active horizon. The biggest being that we will be 5 yrs old this May. Stay tuned for details on our 5th anniversary celebration!
For now, please have a wonderful and safe new year and don't forget to drop by and say hello!

Well, the holidays are upon us. Getting so caught up in the hustle and bustle of this time of year, sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the things that are truly important...being with loved ones, making memories, helping those around you that may be less fortunate, and being grateful for what you have. I have to say that Amy and I are very grateful that our doors are still open and that we can keep going with this thing that we started! We are looking forward to 2010 with continued optimism and excitement as a new decade opens up all kinds of new possibilities in the world of Retro!
We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Holiday Season, whatever you may be celebrating! May your heart be full, your worries be gone, your dreams and prayers all answered and your Retro Active shopping list be long!!
ROCK ON!!!

Well, I almost got this in on time! I am only one day late...not to bad. I think Amy & I are finally recovered from out fun filled trip to Raleigh. Now it is time to think about Christmas...shopping to be exact. Most of my shopping is done and now I can just enjoy the season with friends and family. Isn't that what it is really all about anyway? Nothing to exciting going on on the concert front. Rocklahoma has announced that they have partnered with AEG for booking this years event. They have also said that they will be booking a broader variety of bands, including some more current acts. We find this to be more than a bit distressing, as Rocklahoma was the only festival of it's kind, focusing on bands from the 80's. Instead of just booking bigger acts from the 80's, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden etc.they have opted to bring in newer bands. Basically, making it like any other festival out there. Very disappointing from our point of view. I guess we will just have to wait & see what happens.
That's about it for this week. Don't forget to check out the new web site. We are updating it more each & every day.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all!

Wow!! What a fun weekend!! It just goes to show how important it is to network! Amy and I had the pleasure of meeting a group of guys at Rocklahoma 2008, saw them again at Rocklahoma 2009, and have become great friends! We spent the weekend in Raleigh with one of the guys, Todd, who also happens to be the President of the New England Patriots Fan Club of North Carolina. So, other than the Patriots blowing the game against the Dolphins, it was a fun-filled, outstanding weekend! We got to party with Paul "Fitzy" Fitzgerald, who kept us laughing all weekend. Met some more great people and made some great memories! Speaking of football...we've just posted some great new NFL throwback designs on the web site so check it out. And don't forget, if you come into the store now through January 1, 2010, every purchase is 15% off!!!
We are still working on the newsletter, and still hope to have something put together by the 1st. If anything, it will be a plain text e-mail with some pictures as we recap 2009 and look into the future of the new decade! A new decade is an opportunity to introduce entirely new lines that we can now call "Retro". So stay tuned for lots of new things to come in 2010!! Well, it's been a long weekend, so I'll end it here. Until next week...ROCK ON!!
