OUR 1ST INDIE BOOKSTORE DAY
Episode 778
Sunday, 3 May, 2026
OUR 1ST INDIE BOOKSTORE DAYWhat started out as an immediate debrief of our first Independent Bookstore Day event quickly spiraled out into an entire episode. Being so, no notes were taken! This is basically a full episode running down how our day went, what our expectations were, and suggestions for next year's event (spoiler: we'll do it again!). This episode is also a look ahead to FREE COMIC BOOK Day, including an on-the-spot layout alteration suggested by Dal that we're going to try and implement (because Patrick had an additional idea later that night that we're also planning to implement). We say it here and wind up doing it less than a week later!---------- Contest of Challengers #778 This episode is dedicated to the Chicagoland Independent Bookstore Alliance.
