Free Comic Book Day
This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, where you can walk into a comic book store and - wait for it - pick up free comic books.
My friend Shawn runs a comic book store here in Phoenix at 35th Ave and Deer Valley Rd, just a few miles from me - Spazdog Comics. I'll be helping him out in the store on Saturday and trying to cause a scene. I volunteered there last year and a few years back and I've had a pretty good time each time. Shawn, his wife Monica and his kids are fun to be around. Also, Shawn used to work at the Biltmore Apple Store and their point-of-sale system is an iMac. What's not to like?
If you show up, be sure and ask Shawn how he got the nickname "Quickdraw" - he'd *love* to tell you. :-)
