A few Saturdays ago  (5/1/2010) was Free Comic Book Day. It’s a day when all the participating comic book shops across the nation give out free comic books to anybody thats willing to come down and get them. Free Comic Book Day is the first Saturday in May.

This is the first time the kids and I have ever been to a Free Comic Book Day. This fine event took place at my local comic book shop (four color fantasies). They had comic book characters walking around taking pictures with everybody, comic book artists and inkers signing things and giving away free on the spot drawings of pretty much anything you wanted, Free hot dogs, nachos, free face painting, and a bounce house.

Zach and Syd got to spend some time in the bounce house, then they got their faces panted. Zach went with spiderman. Syd got a butterfly (what else would she get?). The kids also got free movie posters 5 comic books each and other nick nacks.

Lastly I had one of the artists sketch out Zach and Syd (see the images above). He charged just 5 bucks each.

All in all it was a wonderful time and it only cost me 10 bucks that i didn’t need to spend. If you have kids I would encourage you to take  your kids out next May for the awesome Free Comic Book Day!

One really good thing about the class was the fact that they did not allow parents in the dance studio. We all had to watch from the windows on the outside of the room. It was a good thing cause we the parents were not there to distract the kids. This decision seemed to work out better than I expected.

Sydney did pretty well for her first time. No crying, no “where is mommy”, Just a wave “Hi” to Kelly and I.
