Zentai suit washing issues

The ten Zentai suits that I bought recently on eBay were a bit of a problem to get through customs which turned out to be rather expensive. There was a lot of additional colour that came off one of the suits when I washed it. I haven't tried washing the others for this reason.

Free Comic Book Day 2009 Results

The recent Free Comic Book Day 2009 (FCBD) at the Readers Den in Claremont (Western Cape, South Africa), was even more fun than the last couple of years. As always, the shop owners asked me to be there in a Spider-Man suit.

This year the layout was different and had a circular shape for all of the discounted comics and action figures. The goods were also more accessible this year because of the spread. The advantage of the layout was also that the people near the exit could be controlled and the queues ended up being shorter because of quicker service.

Two people were supposed to be with me in costume. They came the evening before to fit the costumes but did not bother to show up in the morning. One of the staff members for the day also did not bother to appear.

The free comics this year were more interesting and higher quality than the previous years. The discounted comics that I bought were quite a lot in the end. I was helping out with doing the prize draw, but I could not enter for that and because I was busy, I traditionally only start buying comics after the second and last prize draw.
