Free Comic Book Day 2013

  So last Saturday May the 4th (be with you.get it?) We made our  first public appearance at Pulp Comics. Free comic book day is a magical day when comic book stores get comics from all the different publishers and  you can pick one or 2 to take  home free of charge. Hence the name. Free comic book day occurs every year  on the first  saturday  of May.
  
  Here's the thing,we did our old show from there last year and we weren't counting on being asked this year. Our original plan was to  cruise to all the comic book stores in the area and maybe  randomly talking to different customers. Then we got a message from Paul at Pulp comics asking us if we wanted to be there. We jumped at the chance. Our buddy John Bulmer was already going to be there drawing and there was going to be cake and a barbeque.

 I turned out to be a blast. Our buddy Ryan helped out for a bit. We met a lot of cool people and some  contacts as well. We met a really nice lady named Steph from a web site called Geek Chic Elite. She was really cool and included us in her review of Free Comic book day. She was also nice and took some of our business cards to hand out. We agreed to set up an interview  with her at this years Niagara Falls comic con.

Kath had the brilliant idea to set up a roll the dice question and answer game. We had a 20 sided dice and what ever number came up they would choose a geek question from the list and answer it. We recorded all the questions with our spiffy new recording device and we aired it on the pod cast.Everybody was really cool and nice when it came to answering.

My buddy Stacey showed up later on. I think it may have been her first time in a comic book store. She helped out for a bit. She also agreed to come to the Niagara Falls Comic con in June. Also saw a former kfc co worker named Kelly from back in the day.




We had a great time. Thanks for inviting us Paul. It was a fantastic day. Did i mention there was cake as well?
