I’ve been traveling, so apologies for the lack of DSTW last weekend. If I’d been available Friday, I would have told you to go to Robot Village! I mentioned them just a couple weeks ago, but I got word on Friday that the Robot Village store will be shuttered at the end of the month. Apparently they are refocusing on their party/corporate event services. Nice to know that the company and its spirit of robot domination survives, but this is sad news. If you haven’t seen Robot Village yet and are even marginally of the robotophile persuasion, check out the Village before it’s gone.

(I even plugged Robot Village in an interview for Metrotwin, a new travel site I’ll be contributing to on occasion. Mere hours after the interview was posted, complete with my statement that Robot Village was my favorite place in the city, they announced their imminent closure. This does not bode well for my future recommendations. The Curse of GONY?
