Journal Entry #40

05/08/2012

No reason to be alarmed indie appreciating folks of the net. I'm not reverting back to my inner child but that wouldn't be half bad either. Because the thought of mounds and mound of free swag is sure to put the child back in all of us. ENTER F.C.B.D.

F.C.B.D or FREE COMIC BOOK DAY (for all you non-hip/non-acronyming youth of the current generation) is annual event by the good folks @ COMIC ODYSSEY and it's partner stores. True to it's name it's an event that keeps on giving. It is what DON CORLEONE would like to call "AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE" Held last saturday (May 5,2012).  

And in true SSM! fashion...we arrived late.  An hour late to be exact(11am). This is actually an improvement on our part and we're closely sticking with our new year's resolution regarding the same dilemna. And because of our tardiness, we weren't able to sit alongsides our indie bretherens and stuff. well that kinda sucked.....NOT! In a surprising turn of events we squatted (sorry if the term is rather offensive to informal settlers with internet access.) in what we would like to call "SIKAT TERRITORIES".  These are tables designated for the likes of MANIX ABRERA, BUDJETTE TAN, and any of those GLASSHOUSE folks of the same caliber.  The same folks that are the bread and butter of the sketch drive for MANG TONY (DeZuniga). CLEARLY, those are not the seats for us but to HECK with it. We capitalized on the oppurtunity and the rewards were quite high.

 Sitting next to the masterpieces up for auction has it's pros than cons. the pros would include
*Extra media coverage.
*Your works being more valuable than what it's worth.
*People wanting to get your signature(thinking that you're somebody famous,o the disappointment they might get knowing that I'm just a nobody.)
then the cons would include...
*being asked to move, constantly...but yeah that really isn't much of a con so there are none actually.

In the end it was a fun day, we earned more than the bus fare and helped out MANG TONY with our HEXTACULAR HEX-MEN art.

Thanks to everyone who bided.Yes,that's you two..PUNKY & BENJ.

 The day ended with a PIZZA PARTY courtesy of SIR SANDY and a much intimate private dinner with our indie brothers and sisters. We would particularly like to address that this photo ROCKS and ROLL all night long, sweet sussie!

Pardon us if this is taking forever to finish.But we would just like to keep everyone updated on what SSM!'s been up to lately and what new titles you could expect from the fine folks that brought you SSM! Unlimited & SSM! JET. We are closely working on a series called MONA:Queen Of The Babes and hopefully it's sees the light of day this up and coming SUMMER KOMIKON. Keep your fingers crossed, kiddies!
