I personally use very little, if any vermouth ... supposedly Winston Churchill said that the perfect martini was made with dry gin while looking at the bottle of vermouth.

Looks like CompUSA will be closing 126 of their 225 stores and a quick peak at their store directory shows that the Omaha location has been removed today.

I suppose that this means some good close out deals - although I don't like being left with just Best Buy and NFM.

I honestly can't see the CWS flourishing as much as it has here if it were to go somewhere else. Sure, you can put in some dome in a bigger city, whatever. But, I honestly think it would loose so much of its allure for the fans and I highly doubt they would retain that 23,000 "average" at...
