OverGeek Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I recomend going in before the 12 as it tends to get busier than normal on a free comic day, and double so as it's the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modern_day_prophet Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 cheers BB, i won't be in town on Sunday, just the Saturday. Enjoy your tea and crumpets @vw will you be partaking of free comic book day at FP with the rest of us at some point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkawrestling Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Sure will. Not sure what time though. Hamley's have a Star Wars day but I've a geocaching thing at 6 in George Square which is the main reason im coming in, so i might come into town for 3/4, have a look around FP etc. Im in town every day so its soul destroying to come in at weekends too. I'll have the youngster with me :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ah, i wasn't sure when and where the Geocatching thing just was happening. Not sure if i'll have time for that too, but i'll try to get to it if i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werepuppy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Free Comic Book Day tomorrow! Will I see any of you at Forbidden Planet or at the new café that's opening - Geek Retreat (on Union Street I believe) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modern_day_prophet Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 i think a few folks on here are, Zara, yeah. I certainly will be in Forbidden Planet at some point, probably before 11. Just look for the bald dude in a batman tshirt and that shall be me... anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Must look out for that cafe Zara, never knew about that so thanks. I'll be wearing an American style design t-shirt with a painted on biohazard symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werepuppy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 63 Union Street I believe Brian, it's opening tomorrow. I'm hoping to be at FP for opening; will be wearing an Avengers symbol top and a green military greatcoat. And possibly have my Four scarf with me. If I don't see people at FP, I'll see you at Geek Retreat! Hope you all find a comic worth reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann+sara+emma+dani Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I'm not around this weekend - down in Burnley for a Star Wars event on Monday. But this Geek Retreat sounds like an awesome place. I think I will be frequenting the place on my days off. Sounds like a great place to organise a meet-up, no?

modern_day_prophet Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 i never quite made it after all. I was waylaid by car trouble and never even made it as far as glasgow in the end. the bill from the tow truck that brought me home was the only 'comical' thing i read all day and it certainly wasnt 'free' i can assure you.. anyway, what did everyone get their hands on comics-wise then? and whats that Geek Retreat place like...? anyone go?...

OverGeek Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I was at the Retreat and it's very cool definitely the type of place the vast majority here would happily spend most the day. http://www.geek-retreat.com/ Edited May 5, 2013 by Brian Cairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vodkawrestling Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Interesting! My wee lad and I were too late at FP on Saturday for a free comic but still bought a few, he was chuffed at getting one with his name. No he isnt Hellboy. Geek retreat sounds great, I work just off Argyle so may pop in soon :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
