The Thai food we got afterwards was quite good though. Wish we’d seen that update before we went downtown for a midnight opening that was very not open.

The event page on Facebook currently has 949 people signed up that they will be attending, with 349 in the maybe category so there will definitely be a big crowd in Toronto. Also I noticed on the Scott Pilgrim costume rules includes the following: "People who had a character based on them in Scott Pilgrim are not eligible." LOL!

If not, that's a big mistake. And why on a Tuesday? Harry Potter always hit in Friday night / Saturday morning. That way people don't have to worry about work in the morning. Ah well... congrats! Hope to see more Midnight Madness! Was there any publicity for this BEFORE the Oni blog post on Sunday? If not, that’s a big mistake. And why on a Tuesday?

My store, Amazing Fantasy in Frankfort IL will have it for sale when we open Tuseday morning at 11am, we are NOT doing the Midnight Release. Thanks all!

So... call stores ahead of time before showing up! -B Not 100% of the stores on that list are doing Midnight Releases — of the 4 SF stores listed, as far as I can tell, we’re the only one doing Midnight, everyone else is “just” doing Tuesday release.

How will any of them compete, when the Beguiling has Bryan O'Malley signing copies, bands playing, retro video games and basically surrounding block around the store involved with the party? I guess at most other Toronto stores will be attracting some of their regulars. Anyways, it should be a lot of fun at Beguiling tonight. I hope Bryan O'Malley is up for it as he tweeted that he was up at 6 am in order to do interviews this morning. Also as Charles points out some stores who got early shipments for the midnight launch ended up putting them on the shelf right away. Shame on them for jumping the queue, as it put future cool comic events at risk of happening. I feel bad for Toronto stores that aren’t the Beguiling.

All of those stores will be open at Midnight? Will there be enough critical mass? I just don’t see it… especially in New York City. All of those stores will be open at Midnight?
