He will be there from 11am - 8pm as far as I understand. I will be there from 5/6pm - 8pm.

You can now RSVP at Myspace or Facebook. This is going to be a lot of fun. I will be screening the exclusive Real Ghostbusters DVD Collection promo disc, which includes special features never before seen with interviews from Maurice LaMarche, J. Michael Straczynski, and more. These features have not been seen online, including all of the clips available in the Ghostbusters.net YouTube Channel.

So, you have the ability to meet the artist and get an autographed copy of the exclusive Graham Crackers Comics cover while you get to be one of the very first to screen parts of the new Real Ghostbusters DVD Collection, which will start shipping next month!

Something about the wording regarding Cereal:Geek #4 is really bugging me. They way it reads (to me anyway), it suggests #4 has varient covers, one of which has the RGBs on it.


What's this about a Firehouse replica?

There is a massive replica of the Ghostbusters HQ in the middle of the store. I was just at the store, as I was dropping some things off for the event on Wednesday and the store looks great!
