10,000 Comics

[Buddydave in Minneapolis]

Thanks, Vu, for calling my attention to the 10,000 Comics show in the Twin Cities Fringe Festival.

I just go back, and it was pretty cool. Tim Uren's a funny guy. He did a funny schtick where he recited the entire Comics Code AND the 1971 Code revisions.

And he mentioned George Perez 3 times (although he pronounced his name the way I do -- incorrectly).

Everyone who attended the show got a free comic from his collection. They were in bags and a sheet of paper in front prevented you from knowing what you were picking up. I got Firestorm #30 (1984, cool Gil Kane cover) and my wife got Hawkman Special #1 (1986).

Thanks for reminding me about the show, I have to try and catch it this Saturday.

Sunday is bad because I'm going to try and see SHAUN OF THE DEAD in Minneapolis E-Block. What's interesting is that the Director & cast of the movie is going to be there after the movie for a Q & A. This is incredible, this film did really well in England and I wanted to see it for a while. Plus, it has zombies in it....

Obviously they are trying to cash in on the DVD release of Day of the Dead

I doubt I'll obtain free tickets, but anyone in the Minneapolis area should give this phone number a call: 952-278-3121.

The show is on AUGUST 15 at 7.30pm (be there early, however), and located at 600 Hennepin Avenue.

Okay, I just got back from the advance screening of SHAUN OF THE DEAD. So fun.

The best part is the Q & A with the Director/Actor, co-writer and co-star of the film. They were in high spirit and everyone had a great time.

The movie, itself, is also a fun movie, even though all the zombie stuff were treated realistically, there was never a moment where you're thinking they couldn't possibly die, etc.... More review later when I have more time.. Definitely worth the $0.00

Go see it when it's released to the general audience, you'll thank me later.
