Didn't get to go to the local comic store for Free Comic Book Day this year. I wouldn't have picked up Archie #1 anyway, but it would have been nice to check some of the other stuff and maybe buy some comics if they had some older Sabrina stuff. I guess I can do that any day though with less crowds.

Most LCSs use FCBD as an excuse to run a sale, so it's worth braving the crowds. Besides, it's fun to hobnob with fellow comic book fans and collectors, or just interested newbies. Some stores run it as an annual party with refreshments and contests and other associated events.

I have been before and they have had soda and lemonade and pizza. It is a nice environment, but when you have a young child there with you like I do it is better when the crowds are thinner. Plus this year I had another engagement that day so it wasn't going to happen anyway.
