The Perfect Storm Week

It's early Tuesday morning; two Magic tournaments down one to go (Wednesday night). Today is my "day off". That means: Finish the orderform with Tim, send the final FCBD (Free Comic Book Day) press release, contact the Fairview Heights library about FCBD, get flyers ready for upcoming stuff, finalize the Scavenger Hunt list, get this week's newsletter ready for tomorrow morning, various "errands", and then cook up some tasty burgers for dinner. Wednesday, I'll be at the store pretty much all day, and, at midnight, we'll start the Release Tournament for Alara Reborn (Magic). Thursday is mail order day and Thursday night is WOLVERINE! Friday is finalize-the-store-for-Free-Comic-Book-Day day. Then Saturday is the biggest celebration day in the Comics community (yea!). Sunday I get to wind down with Alara Rebron Booster Draft tournaments all day. Stop in often to see my increasing loopiness!

XOXO-
Brian

I'm Giving Away WAY Too Much!

We're coming up on a very busy time for Twilight Comics. The summer movie season kicks off with X-Men Origins: Wolverine -- which just happens to start up on Free Comic Book Day weekend, by design since the first FCBD and Spider-Man the Movie.

I had the unique opportunity to rent out a theatre for the premiere of Wolverine because Wehrenberg decided NOT to have an early show! Crazy, right? So, as it stands, right now (at 16 tickets sold), IF you buy your ticket, a mere $15, you get a $4 Wolverine: Weapon X #1, and a Hardcover worth at least 20 bucks, plus the only way to watch the early showing of Wolverine. It's like getting paid to see it after you figure all of the goodies in. PLUS, we're gonna have trivia, attendance prizes, and a costume contest.

This all happens Thursday night/ Friday morning (4/30 and 5/01).

Then, I really go nuts on Saturday and give away (after all is said and done) over $5000 worth of stuff. More on that in my next post.

XOXO-
Brian
