Collector's Paradise Signing

Saturday. Some people go to the farmers market. Others go to the bank. And some writers are fortunate enough to sign at comic book stores. We did all three! The wonderful crew at Collector's Paradise in Pasadena invited us to be there for their Free Comic Book May event. They had lots of great promotions going on, the store was packed with comic fans, kids and adults alike. We even had the great pleasure to sit next to the well known, Jim McCann (Return of the Dapper Men, Lost Vegas).

Last year we signed at the Winnetka store, which was really fun. But the sister store in Pasadena is equally as fun. And, as a novice foodie, both stores are next to nom-worthy restaurants (D'amore Pizza and L&L Hawaiian BBQ, respectively.) What's not to like? Rob and I can't wait to go back.

Next stop: Phoenix Con!

Things started to quiet down later in the day.

The awesome staff even picked up lunch for us!

Stop by if you're ever in Pasadena, CA.

Free Comic Book Day 2013

Hope you all had a fun Free Comic Book Day! The awesome folks over at the brand spanking new Los Angeles store, Cool Cats Comics, kindly invited us to participate in their very first FCBD event. It was our first time at the store, but now we can't wait to go back! First off, the store is located in a great neighborhood in west LA. It's right next to the popular Landmark movie theatre, where there are plenty of quality restaurants within a couple minutes walk and the surrounding streets are quiet residential neighborhoods. It's a great location! They're just getting started, but if the fun we had there this weekend is any indication of how they'll be running the store, then Cool Cats has a bright future ahead itself. Here's some pictures from the event and from a few other stores we hit up afterwards, before exhaustion overwhelmed us. Long live Free Comic Book Day!
