Free Comic Book Day 2014
Anyone have anything to share? Cool swag? Fun story? Great deal? I missed out on the official free books but greatly enjoyed taking my daughter to the FLCS (friendly local comic shop) and the good time she had. I will post more in detail later when I am not posting from my phone.

My 3y.o. Daughter and I showed up at the FLCS this afternoon. I haven't been to my comic shop since last FCBD, so I felt some guilt beforehand, but I just can't afford comics and minis. I was not expecting much to pick over, but thought it was worth a shot and she might have a good time. I had her get out like $15 from her piggy bank and we headed out.
We were barely in the door when a guy dressed in full makeup like a zombie came by and went all "bra airiness!" on us. He turned out to realize that she was caught off guard by him and reeled it in a little. She ended up giving him a high five.
Next was the lady with ccg sized colored sketches of My Little Pony characters (one for free) and necklaces for $5. Ainsley HAD to have one. First purchase. (We made it away from the booth before my daughter realized that lady did face painting as well).
Then, she caught a glimpse of the Grimm Fairy Tales table with a couple artists and a booth babe with a jewel encrusted unicorn horn. Ainsley insisted that she needed a large print of what would constitute Little Red Riding Hood, if she had more clothes on and then proceeded to lavish the unicorn horned lady with praises (who seemed slightly more interested in flirting with one of the artists, but was nice enough to us).
I figured that was pushing the limits in that room,most we headed over to another area. This one had a guy with witty magnets (my daughter picked out a R2D20 magnet freebie) and another booth with a guy dressed as Deadpool that just went off-air from a podcast. He was on good behavior in front of my daughter, but was still funny.
Headed to a third section we came across a new artist that my daughter immediately gravitated toward due to yoga paints with a shiny mermaid scale pattern on them. She was pushing a first issue of a steampunk mermaid comic. Second purchase (definitely more proud of her for picking this one) and I even convinced the artist to sign it, as well as the writer - her husband.
We then hit the My Little Pony table for official stuff (third purchase...but a number of things) and a local comic artist table for a free kid-safe comic (Ocho is the name. Good guy.). The store owner came up at this point and recognized me. He commented on how much my daughter has grown and that I shouldn't be such a stranger even if I am broke, lol.
We rounded out with me hitting the freebie room for ten free comics. I missed out on this year's stuff, but picked up some older stuff I have never heard of.
On the way out we got a pick with our merchandise for the Facebook page and the zombie guy jumped in the pic.
We followed him back to a zombie dance tent that my daughter enjoyed. She was not keen on dancing near him, but when he stepped out, she joined up with a female zombie and danced away in the strobe lights and fog machine. She asked for a zombie pin that said "Zombies like you for your brains" but it was too pricy.
We rounded things out with talking to the Phoenix Comic Con table for a while on guests plus we swung by the Monster Energy Drink table for a sample. I refused the energy drink for my daughter, but she convinced the booth babe to give her a Sunkist soda pop instead. For free.
All in all, we walked away spending less than $20. All on my daughter. Well worth it.

My wife andI went to my favorite comic and game store. We looked at stuff on the tables outside for a bit. Then we walked in through the open door. We were then very rudely told they weren't open for another half hour. We walked out of open door and didn't go back.
I hadn't been there in about 18 months, and heard the store changed hands. I am displeased with their new attitude on customer service, and won't be back. We have plenty of other choices here in Sin City
Thst is too bad to hear. My store opened at midnight for FCBD and stayed open through the entire weekend since Sunday was May the Fourth - so Star Wars marathon on and themed events.
