New Geek Store/FCBD

Harris is opening a new geek store at 313. It's called Harris Planerds, #04-25/28 of 313@somerset. Mascot designed by sonny.

Grand opening on 7 May, which is polling day. But they have managed to gather quite a few local artists to make instore appearances on that day. So don't just go to the polls, go to planerds as well.

Timing for artists' appearances:

130pm:
Koh Hong Teng
Dave Chua
Jerry Hinds
JDC Amane
Shawn Yap
Zhen Ye
Troy Chin

230pm:
Kelvin Chan
Stickgirl
Swee Chin Foo (FSc)
JC Wong
Sonny Liew

There will be autograph and sketching sessions.

7 May is also FCBD. So do head down to GnB Comics for their celebrations as well. Their usual 1 for 1 for graphic novels should be on.
