So I went to the midnight release of Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour at Midtown Comics with Martin today. It was pretty fun.
We got there when they were shutting down the store. We walked around for a while and went back to the store at 10. We were the 6th and 7th in line. Three people in front of us were dressed as Scott, Stephen Stills, and Wallace. The guy dressed as Wallace was carrying a martini glass full of water.
Strangers kept asking us what we were lined up for. It got boring explaining that it was for Scott Pilgrim so I yelled, “Twilight!,” at one guy and he just walked off saying, “Oh.”
When they opened the doors, we went up and grabbed the books as soon as we could. Martin almost tripped going up the stairs, actually.
We left soon after and decided not to read the book till we got home. That way, I could finish my second run through volume 5 and we could both read without any distractions.
O’Malley ended the series so well. I’ll post a review later. Too excited about having finished it too write anything.
UPDATE! Martin reminded me that we ran into a girl dressed as Ramona a couple of times around the city. She eventually turned up to get on the line. The girl was carrying a bat!
