So on May 7th is FBCD which is a big event where North American publishers give away free stuff. Some new, some reprints. It's also a big sale at most nerd related retailers and one or two pawn shops. It last all business day (whatever the store hours are,) but this year the Central Library (located in the Citi Plaza aka Galleria,) is also having some events, mostly to crub the stress on Heroes I believe.

Just so people know, the venues are:
NeoTokyo
Comic Book Collector
Worlds Away
Heroes
LA Mood

That is the order that we have seemed to do mostly, just so we can get first dibs at the "awesome free stuff at NeoTokyo. It opens at 10pm, usually there are some of us there before then. If you would like to do it in another order, feel free; it'd just be fun for a bunch of us in a group to go about it that way. ^w^

Dude... I always look forward to getting Dazzler when I'm there.

Hmm... I should see if I can whip out el Capitano a la Hammer. I think it's still around here someplace...

Well how about some plans to solidfy when we can all meet up. The biggest concern is where, Start at Neo Toyko, or La Mood (for those out of townies, they are the beginning and end of store chains doing the joint celebration going west or east.)

@samspiering Lots of other stuff going on FCBD. Tons of door prizes, sales, passport prizes, and also a costume contest at the library.

Costume Contest in the Library?!?!

Yeah, we'd meet at the opening time somewhere. Where still needs to be determined. Though if we started at NT, by the time we're done LA Mood we would be almost in time for the library thing, as well as in the right area of town. Can even grab something to eat as well, so I think that works out best. Plus I kinda wanna have first pick at the shitty things given away at NT...
