Double Dutch


A new boutique just opened up right off the Avenue on Falls Rd (in the old EIEIO location for you Hampdenites, 3616 Falls Road for the rest of you), called doubledutch Boutique.

Leslie and Megan, the co-owners, have done a very purty job.

Trivia: Megan is married to that Brian Ralph dude.

Atomic Reading Club 2018 - Generations

Image
Do you believe in Millennials? Is it true that GenX is really the coolest generation? Are there definitive generational traits or is it merely stages of life we all go through? Does history really repeat itself? We're not really sure the answers to these questions, though we have some thoughts on the subject. We're also nervously uncertain where 2018 will take us, but we figured that looking at generations might help put the times we live in into perspective. Or not.

It was a job that brought me and my friends who worked there into regular contact with a number of our heroes. There would be arguments in the editorial pool over who was going to do the Alan Moore interview, who was going to call Frank Miller to let him know of a changing deadline for his artwork, who got to see KISS with Todd McFarlane (I won that one), who was going to proof a Neil Gaiman story after it went through layout, etc.

One day, the phone on my desk rang and the receptionist said, "Benn, Harlan Ellison is on the phone for you."
