In Spider-Man costume for two weekends

This coming Saturday and the next Saturday, I will be in a Spider-Man costume. This coming Saturday is one hour for a children's birthday and the following Saturday is several hours for the annual Free Comic Book Day at the Readers Den in Stadium on Main in Claremont. Obviously during those times my costume renting business will be closed.

Doorbell working again

The doorbell was not working for a while. This caused some problems for those coming to look for or collect costumes.

Free Comic Book Day 2010 coming up

The next Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) at the Readers Den in Claremont in Stadium on Main will be here on 1 May 2010. It looks like there will be up to five people in costume for the event, plus the usual fans that also dress up. In previous years there were spot prizes for those that bothered to dress up. There is a promotion running this year about half price for that event specifically.

Still waiting for new costumes

The thirteen costumes that I have ordered, still have not arrived. I have been waiting for a while and am hoping that they will come soon.

Requests for Barney costumes

There are still a lot of really desperate parents who are looking for adult sized Barney costumes for the birthdays of their little ones. The problem being that nobody is allowed to have a Barney costume and even purple dinosaur costumes that look very remotely similar are apparently not even allowed. A dinosaur costume is a dinosaur costume. Anything that humans wear will look fairly similar because of walking on two legs instead of four. The fact that nobody has purple dinosaur costumes or does have and is not allowed to rent it out, makes parents even more desperate and frustrated. In the end, parents might end up hating Barney just alone for this reason.
