Most of the places I go to only stock Sector9s, and most of them are, surprise, uninformed.

The big store of the local chain sucks, but the smaller store on the other side of town is pretty cool. They're so cool they knock heads off! (News article)
The kid mentioned in that article works.. or.. worked at the little shop I liked. In fact, I'd just talked to him a week or so before about this. He'd asked how my board was since it was him and the other kid in there that helped me get the missing pieces. Nice guys. Who'da thought?
