Free Comic Book Day will take place this Saturday, May 5th. Every year on the first Saturday in May, comic book stores around the world give away comic books for free. The kids and I went last year, and we snagged a bunch of comics. Below are some comic books shops in the Portland area that are taking part in Free Comic Book Day (check for stores near you). [Note: the time listed below is the store's regular Saturday hours. If you go near closing, there won't be much of a selection left.]

If you have not seen John Carter (Walt Disney Pictures) yet, you should go see a free movie screening of it on Thursday. My son and I saw it a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the film (see my John Carter review on my dad blog). The screening will take place at 7pm on Thursday, March 22nd at Bridgeport Stadium 18 (7329 SW Bridgeport Road in Tigard, OR 97224). Here’s the catch: you have to reserve the John Carter tickets from Film Metro. There are a limited number of passes — first come, first served basis. Hurry!

I can’t believe gas prices are going up again. In the Portland area, gas prices went up by 21 cents in the past week. My gas refill over the weekend costed me $60! Either my memory is faulty or I’m really old (maybe both), but I remember a time when I could get a refill for only $20.
76 gas stations can’t do anything about the raising price of gas, but they do appreciate their customers. That’s why they are holding Customer Appreciation Days on February 28th and March 13th. And thanks to ConocoPhillips, the company behind 76 gas stations, I’m giving away a $20 gas card on my Portland blog.
