Hello Sweeties!

The month of May has always been pretty hectic for me, So much to do so little time. Enrollment, fitting of new informs for the forever growing teenagers, and of course the traditional camp out for Free Comic Book Day. This is our 2nd year and we more or less know exactly what to expect.

FCBD2016 Tickets

Entrance tickets for the FCBD2016

We left home at around 5:00 AM and arrived at Fullybooked Bonifacio High Street around 6:30 AM, bit earlier this time around. There was a considerable crowd by then but thankfully it was not as bad as last year.

This year they also gave out tickets to the people who lined up. It seems last year, several people got in earlier than the people who were in line for hours because they had friends save a spot for them. To be fair to all who waited patiently in line for hours and under the hot sun, they gave out tickets. No tickets no entrance.  I think this is good practice, not only to police those who want to cut in line but also keep track of people going in and out of Fullybooked.

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.
