My traditional Greenhills foray was aborted because of a stinking traffic bottleneck at Santolan. It was getting late, so I went on to Megamall (make up for it tomorrow), to find Comic Quest crowded with the Bowling Alley comic people. Had dinner at the Food Park with Dean, Gig, Jason, El (whom I had seen before only online) and his girlfriend Camy (though she was unrecognizable without the beret, leotard and boots... Heh).
After closing down, I suggested a jaunt over to Rockwell's Fully Booked. Carl would meet us there. Gleefully, we escaped on board Jason's pickup and were off.
Fully Booked's stocks of comic trades was cool, but I eventually went off without buying any; though two Batgirl trades tempted me. Funny books of the night: A couple of children's books entitled Bible Baddies, and its sequel... MORE Bible Baddies. Heh. I eventually went off with two items; a copy of Hainaku 3 (which Dean found exiled to a lonely corner of the store) and a reference book on ancient Japanese costumes (which Jason convinced me was good reference for Kunoichi Boy... Sigh).
We eventually landed outside Starbuck's, amidst various food tents selling roast suckling pig, Greek gyros, stews and more. With music from a band playing in front of Monk's Dream, we played a game called Thingamajig and spent an hour or so laughing our heads off thinking up definitions and collecting little red chips.
After which, me, Dean, Jason and Dino called it a night. Vin, Gig and the 'kids' went off to sing.
Tomorrow's agenda: rest, a quick Greenhills trip and fixing up the Sanctum. Weekend's half done. Better enjoy what's left. Yawn.
