A friend and I headed downtown for Free Comic Book Day 2010 just a little while ago, and we saw a lineup outside the main comic book store that had to be 100 - 200 people strong. Gulp! Given that it was raining or threatening to rain on the drive downtown, we expected the worst. We then continued on to the store that I frequent, only to discover that it had almost no lineup at all! Just as we finished picking up our stuff - both free and otherwise - a fresh wave of comic-seekers arrived and we realized that we'd inadvertently timed it perfectly!
Just to show how connected everything is, the store owner asked about my former workplace shutting down, and it came out that he has a couple of friends there who I know well enough to have managed one of them and gamed with both of them (a big Hey! to Damian and Boomer).
It looks like this will be another successful Free Comic Book Day, if the turnout we saw at each of the downtown stores (and in the rain, yet) is any indication.
