Because my wife works on Saturday, I am doing up this year's Free Comic Book Day big time. I'm going to no less than TEN shops that day all across the St. Louis area, taking photos of their shops and activities along the way. And while I will be getting a few free comics, I also fully intend to give money to each of those shops too. It's a day for celebrating comics, and that's what I plan to do!
My intended itinerary is:
Heroic Adventures in Edwardsville, IL at 9 am
Hometown Comics in Edwardsville, IL at 10 am
The Fantasy Shop in Fairview Heights, IL at 11 am
Twilight Comics in Shiloh, IL at 11:30
Fantasy Books in Belleville, IL at 12:30
Mo's Comics in St. Louis, MO at 1:30 pm
Star Clipper in University City, MO at 2:30 pm
The Fantasy Shop in St. Charles, MO at 3:30 pm
Comic Relief in St. Charles, MO at 4:30pm
and maybe The Fantasy Shop in Florissant, MO if I have the time before Sarah gets home from work at 5:30 pm
So watch this space on Sunday or Monday for photos and a blog about my FCBD 2009 experiences!

There's also a Fantasy Shop on Manchester, with parking on Southwest next to a Church's and across from one of those Schlafly spots. I'll hit up that and Star-Clipper before work at 11 and request anything else from my friend. There's a dearth of global FCBD facebook events, but I attempted to spread the word.
I've never actually been to that one, because I live on the complete other end of the city. The other shop on my itinerary that's near it (Mo's) could very well get cut if the day's activities take me too long.
That appears to be the only one open nearby before 11. Glad I had back-up ready.
