GOOD NEWS! With special thanks to the Wilbur Theater, we are GIVING AWAY 2 tickets to Kevin Smith at the Wilbur Theater, 9:45pm on Saturday, 10/13/2012. Stop into the Million Year Picnic comic shop and request a raffle ticket. They are free and do not require any purchase. WRITE YOUR NAME & PHONE # ON THE BACK OF THE TICKET before submitting it to us. We will randomly pick a ticket on Thursday afternoon at 4:20pm (yes, that’s a Kevin Smith joke) and announce the winning number. If you’ve left your contact info, we’ll call you. If you fail to leave you contact info, you better check email… or twitter… or Facebook… or our blog… or maybe even LiveJournal. If you haven’t picked up the tickets by Saturday afternoon, we’ll have to draw again!

The only requirement is that you MUST PHYSICALLY COME TO THE STORE. You may not call & ask for a raffle ticket. If you win, you must come back & physically present the ticket to get the Kevin Smith tickets.
