50% off all Yankee Swap gifts!
Here’s how it works:
At 6:30pm on Friday, December 19, we’ll start a Holiday Happy Hour at Jame's Hoban's Irish Restaurant and Bar in DuPont Circle. (FYI: it’s $2.50 Miller Light Night).
It’ll be a fun time. A great chance to meet up with the geek community in DC. We’ll also be playing YANKEE SWAP (aka White Elephant, Lazy Scranton, Thieving Elves, Miguel Sanchez, etc). The rules of the game are pretty simple (from Wikipedia):
All participants bring their gift to “the pile.” Gifts are wrapped, but are not labeled to reflect a sender or recipient. Everyone then draws a number, which determines the order of gift choosing. The person who drew #1 chooses a gift from the pile, and then shows it to everyone. It is now Person #2’s turn. They can either steal an item previously unwrapped or open a new gift from the pile. If a person's gift is stolen, that person can immediately unwrap a new gift or steal another person's gift. This process repeats until a gift has been stolen 3 times or until a person chooses to unwrap a new gift (as opposed to stealing a gift), at which point play proceeds to the next person. Owners of opened gifts must keep them visible for all to see and hold them up when requested.
Here’s how you get into the Yankee Swap pot: from now until noon on Friday the 19th, you can buy ANY product or products in either Fantom store that fall between $9.99 and $24.99 for 50% off. We’ll wrap your present up and hold onto it for the game on the 19th. (Note: Yankee Swap purchases are unreturnable/unexchangeable).
We want to stress that you DO NOT need to participate in the Yankee Swap to join us for the Happy Hour. All are welcome!
Hope to see you there!

This week's comics are all set. Thanks for your patience.
The Diamond Comics delivery truck has broken down on its way to the Baltimore distribution center. As a result, we will not be getting our books in until later in the day. Management cannot give an accurate time of when the books are expected. We are very, very sorry about this. Please keep an eye on the webpage, as we will post as soon as the delivery arrives!
See message from Diamond below:
"The truck delivering the weekly shipments to BALTIMORE DROP has broken down. I will be contacting you tomorrow as soon as the truck arrives. Shipments will not be ready at their normal pick up times. I apologize for this delay."
