Stan and Jason report:

Last year we lost count at 600 visitors over the course of the day...

Our guy counting this year stopped at 850 before 1:00 PM. We ran out of the 2005 "Free Comics" at about 1pm, that's why he stopped counting, because we had to restock the shelves with leftovers from last year, which almost lasted another hour. We then began using excess store stock. Others who were volunteering at our event insist we easily saw a thousand our more people through the store by 5:00 PM. It was outstanding. We did a week's worth of business in a day (compared to the successes last year!). This was amazing. Our local 501st Imperial Stormtrooper Legion was on hand and it was like a mini-con. The effort and planning (about 6 to 7 months worth) was well worth it. Our biggest complaint was that we weren't able to move around the store with everyone there to restock as quickly as we wanted-as you can imagine, I am willing to live with that problem!

Thanks to all who participated in this event! It was out-frikkin-standing!!!!
