Carol and John's will be a hosting site for the 2008 24 Hour Comics Day event from noon October 18 until noon October 19. If you are willing to take on the challenge, then here are the rules:
1. The event is from NOON to NOON. If you finish early, you can leave. If you need a nap or a break there will be a lounge area in the store.
2. We understand that things happen and 24 hours can be a long time, if you need to leave for any reason we are imposing a 30 minute limit.
3. You WRITE and DRAW your own book. 24 pages. 24 hours. Follow this rule and your book will be submitted to Scott McCloud and the OSU Comic Book Library.
4. Friends and guests can sit with you during store hours, until 7 on Saturday
5. Participants will get 25% off any independent back issues, hardcovers, trade paperbacks (this means anything that's not DC or Marvel)
6. FOOD -- We will supply a free pizza dinner around 8 and free coffee/energy drinks all night. Chips and sodas will be available at a minimal cost to you. Otherwise, you are welcome to bring your own snacks, but please keep in mind we have limited fridge space.
7. No drugs. No Achohol.
8. Bring whatever supplies you think you need, we'll have some in case of emergency.
9. Throughout the event, we will be posting your progress on a blog. We will provide the web address to this blog when it is available.
10. These are our rules, which we WILL enforce. John Dudas is our social mediator, and all disputes or problems will go though him. He'll be here coffee'd up the whole time, so behave!
