Free Comic Book Day is Coming!

/ gogfl / Leave a comment

On May the 4th (“May the fourth be with you”), I’ll take my annual Guardian road trip to celebrate Free Comic Book Day. [Update: found out Heroes Landing has closed, so am substituting GNaOT – a shop so new they don’t have FCBD plans.] Arrival time for the first stop is 10:00 a.m., with each stop after that about an hour apart. If you would care to join in anywhere along the route, here’s the updated itinerary:

ACME Comics; Guns, Knives, and Other Things; BAMF Comics; A Comic Shop (probably pause for lunch about noon); Sci-Fi City; West Orange Comics and Games; Krum’s World Comics; Windu Comics (pause for a quick dinner); Gods & Monsters.

Followed by a movie — The Avengers, of course!

If you don’t make it, check out future blog posts; there will be photos.

HAPPY EASTER!

Just celebrated Easter with fellow Doctor Who fans at the Guardians of Gallifrey meeting.  The discussion and video selection inspired a trivia contest which will, no doubt, show up at a future meeting. You can try it now, below (answers in next week’s blog post).

For questions 1 through 13, in keeping with the Easter theme of resurrection,  name in order the televised story in which each of the Doctors regenerated. Hint: questions 1 and 11 will have a part a) and part b), and don’t forget the War Doctor.

The last three questions are for bonus points: Name the episode in which the Doctor talks to a bunny; name the episode which takes place on Easter; and name the episode that includes an Easter hymn.

And if you were wondering what the little TARDISes had to do with Easter, think Easter egg hunt.
