Did you go and celebrate Free Comic Book Day? I did and had a blast!

I (along with DCWKA, jr.) headed up to Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH. These folks help put on the Granite State Con which I’ve attended a few times and it gets better every year. Their shop is great - big, well lit…

Oh shoot! I was there too! I would have loved to meet up with you, even if just to thank you for your blog. I’m glad you had a fun time! Double Midnight Comics truly made this a fantastic day; they outdid themselves, and it was the best FCBD event I’ve ever been to. It seemed everyone had such a great time!

This was my favorite picture of the day:

I’m crouching down a little, lunging kinda, so Wonder Woman can be seen better. Gail Simone signed my sword! :D I kinda did that fangirling-freezing-up thing where all I could manage to do was thank her for her work. My brain is going ‘Say more, say more!’ but I just got all blushy, and grinning, and quiet. She and her husband were a pleasure to meet, though! All big smiles!

Okay. Here’s why I rarely complain about what I do for a living.

Free Comic Book Day. Surrounded by readers of every age and sexuality and gender and ethnicity and background. A group of lovely, generous and wonderful cosplayers all cosplaying characters I have written. Barbecue cooking in the background.

And the store asks if I “wouldn’t mind” taking some photos on the Bat-cycle.

HELL NO I WOULDN’T MIND.

Guys, that smile on my face? That is pure happy joy.

When I was a kid, I wanted to ride in the Batmobile, sure. But what I REALLY wanted was to drive the BAT-CYCLE.

Years later, I get my chance, surrounded by people I don’t even know but already adore.

THIS WAS A GOOD ****ING DAY.
