Free Comic Book Day Haul

Free Comic Book Day Haul
Photo-A-Day #1487

Andrew, a fellow comic book geek, wanted to know what my haul was like on Free Comic Book Day. I ended up with 10 books. I’m not sure how it is at your comic book store but mine limits you to 5 books per person. I actually think that is a good thing so that there are plenty of free comic books for everyone who wants them. I got 10 because I went to my local store as well as to a Newbury Comcs.

So the books I ended up getting included a Keenspot Spotlight (from 2004? I didn’t notice till I got home), Transformers, G.I.Joe, The Avengers, The New Mutants Saga, Cyber Force, Hunter Killer, Cars, Wolverine Saga ,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Savage Dragon and Ronin Hood of the Samurai. I also decided that I’d pick up the 1st compilation of Y The Last Man. You might recognize the creator of that book, it is Brian K. Vaughan who is now working on LOST. I hope that Y is a decent read. Has anyone read it?

BTW the T-Shirt is from IZEA by way of fellow IZEA Insider Heather in Beautiful British Columbia.

Good Instincts
Photo-A-Day #1485

Allison tells me that whenever the photographer or videographer at a wedding stands in front of me it means I have good instincts. I think it is because they like to stand in front of any guy who has a camera as big as theirs. Not that I’d ever get in the way of a professional photographer who is being paid for a wedding or event. I just seem to always grab the spot right behind the real photographer.

Last night Allison and I went to the wedding of her cousin Beth. We had a very nice time and got to spend that time with her parents, cousins, brother and Sister-In-Law, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The wedding was a very nice one and everyone had a great time. I took a bunch of photos but need to do some processing. They are all pretty grainy because I didn’t use flash so as not to disturb anyone. When I get a moment, not sure when, I’ll have to post those photos and the pajama party ones.

Yesterday was also Free Comic book day and I picked up books at Newbury comics as well as at Wild Time Comics. Wild Time is my local comic shop but occasionally something on my pull/sub list gets missed, this stinks because I pick up my books infrequently so I end up having to go somewhere else to find the books that got missed. Yesterday was a pretty good haul too.

We left Eva with our friends T.R. and Michael, they took her to dinner and she entertained them to no end. She also, thankfully, slept very well for them. We really appreciate that they took the time to help us. Apparently it also helped them work on their wedding plans as well.
