Free Comic Book Day tomorrow!

Free Comic Book Day is a day designed to raise awareness of comics. You go to your local shop, grab some free shit, maybe meet some creators, artists, writers, etc., and perhaps develop a dangerously expensive habit.

Here in Lawrence, the place to be is Astrokitty Comics. I’ll be spinning tunes from 11am-5pm, as well as doing not one, not two, but three music trivia contests. One of ’em will be [adult swim] themed, but after that, I’m a little tapped for ideas. I’ll be playing requests for 25ยข, too.

Come out, support Joel’s great store, have some fun. Astrokitty is one of the rare comic shops that’s friendly. Joel’s nice, Joe’s nice, Kyra’s awesome, and the registers will be staffed tomorrow by Erin and Annie, two of the nicest women you’ll ever meet. Yes! Women! Who like comics! Astrokitty is the sort of store you can bring your girlfriend / wife / kids to, and everyone is welcome and can find something that they will fall in love with (there’s a GIANT, near-life size plus Bone that even I want).

And look! It’s music from a comic book artist! James Kochalka doing a Daniel Johnston song!
