#FreeComicBookDay2017 BayanBeasties Yearly Camp-Out for our Favorite Comics

Hello Sweeties!

My beasties and I have made it our yearly tradition to line up at the Bonifacio High Street branch of Fullybøoked every year since 2015 for the Free Comicbook Day.  It is not really about “Free” comics, but mostly it is about hanging out together and enjoying some of the titles offered. I found that the “free” ones are a great way to browse new titles.

As early as two days before the actually event people started camping out. In the past years Fullybooked and Comix Odyssey offered early birds freebies, as in the copies of all the free comics offered that year to the first three people in line. I don’t think they have it this year but still I see post of people lining up.

My kids and I woke up at around 5am and Ubered our way to Bonifacio High Street and were there past 6am a crowd of people have pooled themselves there already.

We came earlier this year, the beasties were looking forward to the activity. A staff of Fullybooked BHS  was there manning the end of the line to give out tickets like last year.

The heat was scotching! Good thing, the beasties and I had our umbrellas and the battery operated fan handy or we could not have survived!

Free Comic Book Day with my Beasties

Hello Sweeties!

I love komiks, I learned to love reading because I grew up being encouraged to read comic books by both my Mom and Dad. This year I took my beasties to attend their first Free Comic Book Day at Fullybooked Bonifacio High Street Branch.

Unlike most I don`t have an extensive collection of comic books, but I do attend book launches and Komikons whenever possible. I never thought about the Free Comic Book Day as a big deal since most of the books I want are manga and Pinoy Komiks. But I am curious about the devotion comic loves have to get their comic choices.

I have been monitoring the Free Comic Book Day FB page so I am aware that people have started lining up the day before the actual event! Talk about devotion and will! They woke up as early as 5:00 AM to wait in line for us to grab out free comics. By 7:30AM the time we arrived, the line for the entrance was zig zagging all over Hight Street. This is ok because Fullybooked made it a point to open their doors early for the comic devotees.
