Happy Last Day Of The Year!

Yes, we'll be closed on New Year's Day! And we'll only be open until 6pm, on Monday, Jan 2nd. If you're in the hood, you should try to catch Baby New Year tonight:

Shank Reading Club 2006

I've realized that I am at the age where I've forgotten more books I've read than books I've left to read in my lifetime. Yes, it's wildly depressing. For most books, I can just remember feeling that they were good, but the details are pretty fuzzy. So, the Mobtown Shank Reading Club this year will be about revisiting some classics and seeing if they hold up. And the twist is that they're all graphic novels. If you've never really gotten into comics or jumped in late, this would be a good chance to get into some great titles and tear them apart! We've got the year planned out, so drop in when you want, or go for the whole ride: January - V for Vendetta February - Watchmen March - Dark Knight Returns April - Love & Rockets Book 10 May - I Never Liked You June - Buddy Does Seattle July - My New York Diary August - Jimmy Corrigan September - Our Cancer Year October - Cinderalla November - Ghost World December - Black Hole Discussions will be held at

The Club Is Open

We're open! We'll be closing early this Sat, though, 6pm, and we'll be closed on Sunday, New Year's Day.

Happy Holidays Haiku

Last minute shoppers Bless adrenaline rushing Your desperate hearts We'll be closing early tonight, at 6pm! And we'll be closed tomorrow for Xmas Day.

photo by Sidereal It's now a book ! They need to be out there calling these people retarded all the time. Nonstop. The ID people are winning because the scientists think if they ignore the issue, it will go away. Plus, I'm sure it would be therapeutic to make fun of the ID people. I think it's pretty amazing that these people without scientific backgrounds -- or really any education at all -- think they have the right to decide the science curriculum. And it blows my mind that they are getting away with it.

It Would Suck To Be A Comic Book Store

Excuse me, but I'm about to post something that will make this sound like a comic store blog: the inevitable bitching about Diamond Comic Distributors. We are not a comic book store. But we carry a lot of comics because we like good reads. For those of you who wouldn't normally shop at a comic book store and don't really know how it works, you should know that Wednesdays are THE day - the day new comics come in. How can that be? Well, because there's only really ONE distributor for comics. Diamond . Most comic shops just have one distributor and that's it. So if Diamond fucks you, you're fucked. We, like most independent bookstores, use HUNDREDS of distributors and wholesalers. If we can't find something from one distributor we can usually find it from another. Yes, we use Diamond. And yes, every week there's something missing. Or late. Re-orders take weeks (instead of days like with book distros). But the worst is when we're allocated. Because that&

Just in time for Xmas.

4 Books To Go

Largehearted boy has 4 more books to go to complete his 52 Books 52 Weeks Project. 10 more days! What a year of reading it's been !

Santa Knows

Image
Santa was walking around the Ave yesterday and stopped by the store. He said he heard me on the radio. He knows everything! But I bet he didn't know I was interviewed for MobyLives , which is like all radio now. When Dennis Loy Johnson, the host, told me that there would be no editing I kind of freezed up. So it's not a terribly glib interview. That Dennis, he's just flying by the seat of his pants. Like an anti-Ira Glass.

This Is Junko

Junko Wong stopped by the shop today and signed all of our Blythe Style books. Blythe dolls are still coming!

Underdog Vs Satan Claus

Wow, another classic finally on DVD .

Your Present May Be In Here

And The Winner Is...

Image
We should have our new shirts in stock before Xmas. And hoodies! ETA: Our winner is Mr. Jordan Jeffries! I'd like to thank EVERYONE who entered. It was a really tough decision for our panel of judges. There were so many great entries we took an extra long time. Some special one time runs may be in the works.

Gift Cards

Our gift cards are like little gifts themselves. We give local artists free reign to illustrate them up and you can put any amount on them.

Now It Feels Xmasy

New Penguin Classics

Image
Penguin has a new series of classics with covers done by comic artists. The first is Chris Ware doing Voltaire's Candide . Coming in the new year will be other titles with artists like Charles Burns, Seth and Spiegelman.

Lessons In Taxidermy Reading

Tomorrow night, here at Atomic Books, we welcome back Bee Lavendar, who'll be reading from her memoir, Lessons in Taxidermy , 7-9pm! Was that really one sentence?

Blythe Mystery

So we've all been waiting for this new Blythe book, Blythe Style (ok, by "we" I mean "me"). It was supposed to have been released this Fall, but it's been pushed to next year, which happens a lot with books. So how is it that Amazon and BN.com both say that they have it and ships in 24 hours or in days? Well! I just realized that when they say it ships in 24 hours, it doesn't mean that they actually HAVE the book. It means that it ships in 24 hours from the TIME THEY GET IT IN THEIR WAREHOUSE. Big whoop. I can say we ship in 30 minutes! FROM THE TIME MAGGIE LEAVES THE POST OFFICE. And it's nice that a book that doesn't even exist has a Sales Ranking. It should be a different Pre-Sales Ranking. So when Amazon says they can ship that Complete Calvin & Hobbes in 24 hours, but no other book store even has it in stock (because it's already out of print), it's because they're liars.

Flux

For anyone who stopped by this morning, sorry, but we got a little behind putting in some new counters, so we were't open. But if you make a special trip now and ask, we have free passes to Aeon Flux , Dec 1st, at Towson Commons. A 10pm showing. Passes are limited so you better hurry...

Light Up My Life

Tonight's the night! Around 6:30pm, the magical lights of Hampden get turned on 34th Street! UPDATE: photo by I.D.C.

Giving Thanks

In case you didn't realize, Philly's Best (where Pecker worked), across the street, is under new ownership. And TODAY, they started serving Indian food! FINALLY, Indian in Hampden! 410-243-1301. They deliver. I just had a samosa and Lamb Saag. And it was good. And also, Maggie's knee no longer hurts! Yay! But don't worry, she'll bust it again in no time.

5 Out Of 4 People

When ordering online you can leave us a note in the comments section. Or a statistic. Like this one from a UK customer: "5 out of 4 people in the UK have trouble with their fractions."

Unicorns and Robots

Today's the last day for your tshirt entry ! We'll announce a winner later this week.

Gravy Day 05!

We'll be closing early this Wednesday, the 23rd, at 6pm. And we'll be closed for Thanksgiving, the 24th. Online shopping is 24/7 as always.

Oy!

I'm really not trying to rush the season. It's all you people! I've never had so many people ask for Xmas cards weeks BEFORE Thanksgiving! Maybe it's because they're so cool .

Atomic Sex Machines

photo by Timothy Archibald We had a great time, too . I think that was, by far, the longest question and answer session we've ever had here at Atomic.

Radio Radio

Charles Burns will be on The Diane Rehm Show at 11am today. And THEN Heather Chaplin and Aaron Ruby will be talking about their new book, Smartbomb on The Marc Steiner Show at 1pm. Chaplin and Ruby will be here at the store tonight, with Sid Meier of Firaxis, at 7pm!

Comfort Reading

According to Benn, the ultimate delicious is a Superman comic sandwiched between 2 Batmans, with a side of Justice League. Of course, that makes no sense. But then neither does continuing with this Lost Reading Club! But we shall, even though this last episode was less than satisfying...I don't need all this going back and forth in the timeline! A Wrinkle in Time is the next book. 15% off and a nice, fun, flashback read just in time for this holiday season and better than that Narnia...wait, is this book all about god, too?? Wait...is Lost...one of those God shows? If you play the show backwards will you hear Hold Steady playing Christian Rock?

The Third Policeman Dissection

Have you finished it yet? The Lost Book Club discussion party will take place tomorrow at Keyboard Man Karaoke , 9pm sharp! Some say the premise of this book is a red herring. Some say Benn and Rachel will perform "Jackson". Today's the last day to get the book for just $11.00! (You can finish it by tomorrow night.)

This classic is finally on DVD! It'll be ready for ordering later on today. UPDATE: It's available for online ordering now.

Book Listenings

Here's something I just came up with while eating my lunch...instead of "Book Readings" we should call them "Book Listening Parties". You like it? I'm still on the fence. Speaking of which: whoa! Mobylives.com is finally back and it's audio now!

Don't Panic

Ok, I don't mean to freak you out or anything, but our last day for shipping in time for Xmas is December 19th...that's just shy of being 6 weeks away.

New Hours!

New Hours until the end of the Year: Monday through Saturday we'll be open from 11am-8pm. Sunday is still 11-6pm.

Cat makes these awesome retro pop culture magnets that we unfortunately can't sell online because they're all one of kind. But you can get them in the store.

This Week's Calendar

Our dance card is a bit full this week. Tomorrow, you can catch Benn on the Marc Steiner Show , along with Davida and Miriam . They're going to chat about zines. I hope Jerry from Pikesville calls in. That dude should do a zine. Or at least a blog. Then on Friday, we have Timothy Archibald doing up a slideshow for Sex Machines, 8pm. Saturday, at the Ottobar , we have a tribute to Johnny Cash. First 100 people through the door gets a free pass for the movie, Walk the Line . And on Sunday, "Vegan Superstar" Sarah Kramer is going to talk food at 7pm! We'll sleep when we're dead.

Baltimore Flickr

photo by Jack Lyons, design by Dawn Mercurio The Baltimore Flickr Group is having a show at Holy Frijoles starting November 15th through the holidays! Reception on November 22nd, 7-9pm. The BFG is a collection of Baltimore based photographs by pro and amateur photographers, most of who live in MD. See Baby Doll printed and stuck on a wall instead of online! See the awkward mingling of people who've never met in Real Life before but have had conversations on the "computer"! What's your Baltimore about? Inner Harbor, crabs, transvestites? It's all here.

Balls

Image
It's a busy Halloween week! Here on the Avenue, we have our annual Halloween festivities this Saturday, 29th. Trick or treating up and down the street for the kids is from 5-6pm. Costume contests start at 6:30 in front of Oh! Said Rose (for more info: 410-235-5170). Among many other events around town, the Charm City Roller Girls are having a Bruiser's Ball at the Ottobar on the 30th. Speaking of balls...did you know that 80% of the men in Baltimore* shave their balls**? I don't know about you, but I feel enlightened. *Source - my poll at Frazier's last night where I yelled at guys, "Hey, do you shave your balls?" **If you ask this question, make sure that you are prepared for a very long discussion of other related topics and stories. Especially from Gene . UPDATE: Ok, let's be more inclusive about this but possibly less scientific and take this poll .

The Norwegians Stood Us Up

So, after many phone calls and emails and faxing of contracts about Hurra Torpedo coming to Atomic to shoot part of their documentary, the band, which includes the Sexiest Man in Norway (and a loooong time Atomic Books customer), didn't make it to Baltimore yesterday. At all. Still, funny guys. You should check out their cover of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" if you don't know what they're about. Musicians are a difficult lot to work with. Now writers, they're alright. Sure the I'm-a-piece-of-shit-that-the-world-revolves-around persona gets tiresome...but they're a hell of a lot easier to work with than artists. But what about artists with books? Or movie people? Or video gamers? Or chefs? Hey, those are our November events !

Wow

It's a good season for completionists. So much great stuff...

Get Your Pancake Mountains Here!

Ah, good ol' cable access is still cranking some good shows out. But now, it's for the kids. We've got the first couple of DVDs of the DC kids show "Pancake Mountain" in stock. It's educational and kind of scary. Henry Rollins is always kind of scary. But Arcade Fire is so cute (but you can tell the kids were still kind of scared).

Future books in the club: A Wrinkle in Time Watership Down Turn of the Screw So far, the club is just me and Lisa.

Reptilian Records 's publishing venture, Scapegoat Publishing , has come out with their first book ! It's a beauty and comes with a CD! And they're still putting out great music, like the debut CD by Fascist Fascist:

Lost On Lost

So, I missed Lost last night. Did anyone catch the Third Policeman in it? Benn watched it but didn't see it referenced at all . If they keep using books as clues on the show, we could start a Lost section!

Alterno-Wonderland

Emily Flake will be on G4 TV's "Attack of the Show" , tomorrow night, LIVE, at 7pm! They're going to talk about pop culture. Or something like it.

The Funny Pages

The NYT Magazine ( bugmenot ) has a new section called The Funny Pages . Comics (Chris Ware!), humor essays(Neal Pollack!) and crime serials(Elmore Leonard!). Awesome! It almost makes me want to subscribe. I'm on the edge here.

National Book Festival (Did you see this kick ass letter from Sharon Olds to Laura Bush?) And it's Benn's Bday today! He's 37! Maybe he'll win this for his bday. He's still the current high bidder, but that won't last for long.

Banned Books Week 2005

Banned Books Week starts this Saturday.

Not that I want to get the whole store banned but these people really need to get out more.

SPX starts tomorrow! Are you going? We'll be there on Saturday wandering around.

We Love Katamari

Yeah, it's got nothing to do with books. We just love IT, that's all.

Right Back Atcha!

Aw, we got some love over at Bookslut and the Book Standard .

Anti-Porn Squad

Bush has got some time on his hands it seems. Getting rid of porn has become a Top Priority . I wouldn't worry about it. Terrorism and helping out NoLa were top priorities, too. That XXX is a great book, btw, and actually not pornographic.

BOB

Aw, Keyboard Man got Best Karaoke in Baltimore. We got Best Independent Bookstore . Benn got Best Blog in the Reader's Poll . And this is nice, too. And people keep saying to us that we won't lose anything to the new B&N. If even the "alt weekly" is excited about it...I guess people need a place to go where they don't have to care about using books as coasters.

Hampden Is What Dreams Are Made Of

I don't know about you, but I don't want to work at Chili's. I don't know anyone who has dreams of working at Chili's. I'm sure that someone will point out to me that someone has. A dead end job is better than no job. But I think you'll find that a lot more people have dreams of opening up their own small business. Perhaps a bookstore. A record store. A cafe, a boutique... Because these are dreams - working for yourself, or with a small group of like minded people. It's more than a job, more than just making a living. It's about carving out a niche, expressing yourself. It's not easy running your own business and it becomes less and less of a viable option when rents go up, chains take over and people just don't give a shit about where their money goes just to have that "kick-ass queso skillet". Yes, big formula chain businesses have advantages. But dreams aren't one of them. I really hope it doesn't rain tomorrow.

Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before

Letter to the City Paper: Barely weeks after City Hall went into the hotel business, the selective socialists ring in again, this time in Hampden, hon ("Life on a Different Avenue," Mobtown Beat, Aug. 31). The recent effort by Mr. Atomic Books to curb chain-style development in "his" neighborhood completely misses all of Hampden's social and economic issues by a city mile. I can assure Benn Ray and Rachel Whang that efforts to develop the Avenue and the Rotunda have been in the works for the last seven years. The no-chain-store policy has been Hampden's default position, because no chain store would come, given the crime and income levels in the area. To understand the effects of such a policy, look at Hampden today. Tawdry signage, bad retail, decay, and vacancy. Go to the Avenue on any Friday or Saturday night and you'll see tattooed-pierced-drunken-screaming-bottle-smashing-brawling chaos, dark storefronts, and litter. It's kind of cute during th

Why Is It Sunny NOW?

Let's think about fun stuff. Like what does the winner of Hampden Idol get at Hampdenfest this Saturday? Besides the title, and the admiration and love of the people? Well, some of the best things Hampden has to offer, of course: An office breakfast for 10 from Common Ground Free month membership to Meadow Mill Athletic Club $70 gift certificate for a massage with Jenny Ehrhardt at Bikram Yoga $50 gift certificate from Oh! Said Rose $50 gift certificate from Ma Petite Shoe $50 gift certificate from Cafe Hon (and a tshirt, mug, bumper sticker & tote bag) Gardening kit from Baltimore Garden Co. Gift basket of hot sauces and salsas from Whiskey Island Pirate Set of 5 giant Tiki Mugs from In Watermelon Sugar Pecker on DVD, signed by John Waters from Atomic Books And more gifts and certificates from Avenue Antiques, Breathe Books , Lynn's Bear in Mind, Milagro, Minas, Mud & Metal , Shine , Sturgis Antiques and Village Flower Mart .

Hurricane Season

Image
It's that time of the year when outdoor festivals are plentiful here in Baltimore and we watch the weather with dread and anxiety. Luckily, our local weather blog at the Sun, kept up by Frank Roylance, is endlessly fascinating (does that make me a weather dork?). What a season it's been already! Ophelia is the 15th named storm of the season. There are just six more names on the list: Phillippe, Rita, Stan, Tammy, Vince and Wilma. After that, the National Hurricane Center will have to turn to the Greek alphabet: Tropical Storms Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and so on. It's never happened before. Remember Hampdenfest morning last year?

from Editor B. At Hampdenfest this Saturday, local creole restuarant, Ethel & Ramone's , will have a booth with their fabulous food.

Friday Review - Back to School

Benn read Toothpaste For Dinner by Drew: "Ah... cubicle humor. It can be funny when it's subversive. And sometimes the subversion can be perverted as a form of affirmation, like Drew Cary or Dilbert. Here we have cubicle dwellers in the office and out, crudely drawn, with endearing lopsided heads that are more often cute and surreal than subversive. These are comics that are more often funny than affirming, they're not a searing indictment of Industrial Park America, but they're also not something Industrial Park America will co-opt and use as a comfort blanket when lost in the cold, endless, prefabricated, grey mazes of the suburban working class."
