Greetings from Third Coast Comics!
Thank all of you for helping to make our many events special and successful!
Here's what's coming up next!
Welcome to Third Coast Comics
Drink and Draw & Knitting Night
Wednesday December 11th at 7:00 PM
If you've been looking for a place to knit, draw, paint, write, sculpt or die cut robot parts all while talking comics, then this is the event for you!
When we opened 5 years ago we were committed to providing a space where the local arts and crafter community could meet and create.
This event has become a Battle Royale of Creative Greatness!
Drink & Draw meets Stitch & Bitch in an epic comic shop throwdown!
The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug - Midnight Screening
Thursday December 12th at 9:00 PM
Comics Fans! The long awaited opening of The Hobbit 2: Desolation of Smaug is Friday, December 13th BUT we are gathering with a dedicated chosen few on Thursday December 12th at 9:00 PM to see the film (which will be at Midnight)
The Cinemark Evanston 18 has been kind enough to offer us our own private theater for this event!!!
For those over 21, we will also be allowed to purchase and take adult beverages into the theater up until 1:00 am.
You'll still have to buy tickets and pay for your own snacks/drinks. We aren't quite that flush yet.
For tickets, come to Third Coast Comics, pay and get added to the guest list or PayPal me at docmidnight@gmail.com
The cost is $12 to make sure the theater gets it's midnight screening price and to cover PayPal fees.
After payment, you'll be added to our guest list and you can check in at the Rhythm Room bar inside the theater.
Shortly thereafter we'll begin giveaways and other festivities!
Travel Note:
We know some people are concerned about travel arrangements when leaving the theater as the Purple Line will not be running after the movie BUT the Davis street station has a cab stand which makes it easy to get to Howard if need be.
The Chicago Guitarists Meetup Open Mic/Jam
Friday December 20th at 7:30 PM
Some of you may know this but I'm a bit of an amateur guitar player & a member of the Chicago Guitarists Meetup
We are having our monthly Open Mic/Guitar Jam/Social but this month we're at Third Coast Comics.
I'm inviting any of you comics reading musicians (or comics reading music fans) to come by and play with us.
The format is very relaxed. We are open to ultra beginners. Never hesitate to talk "music" with any of us. Getting out of or expanding our comfort zone is the evening's objective.
Third Coast Comics is a retail store in a residential building soooo we might have to be completely done by 1:00 am
If you have any questions, email me at terry@thirdcoastcomics.com
The Chicago Comic Book Meetup Group
Saturday December 21st at 7:00 PM
The Chicago Comic Book Meetup group is a comics and pop culture discussion group that meets to talk about the past, present and future of comic books.
Sometimes we have a topic in mind to discuss and sometimes we just have a free form talk. Often we have great comics to pass around and discuss.
Deep comics knowledge is not needed to join the festivities, just come on by and join in.
Third Coast Comics Karaoke Night
Saturday, January 4th at 7:00 PM
Happy New Year!
Have you ever had a desire to belt out your favorite obscure tunes surrounded by neon signs for beers you'd never think of paying for? We have too which is why we are now offering you this experience in the amazing confines of our comic book shop. You can have all the social, all the nerdery and triple the vocal range if you like. Don't be shy, We'll sing Bohemian Rhapsody in whatever key you want to sing it in right along with you!
As soon as 7:00 PM hits, the shop will close and the Third Coast Lounge shall open. Feel free to scream until your throat is sore!
