This Crazy Weekend
I've completely lost track of everything happening this weekend - there's just SO much going on!
Not only is there Artscape, a huge arts festival on its own with satellite art shows in various galleries and music all over town (I totally want to see Joan Jett!), but there's also Whartscape (ticket sales end today!), the Erotic Arts Festival, and don't forget about our Saturday afternoon event with Gary Panter, Steve Niles and Dr. Revolt for The Lost Ones - it's free!

Atomic's Guest Appearance In Closed Caption Comics 7?
We love showing up in comics.
In Closed Caption Comics #7, in a story by Ryan Cecil Smith, a character makes it's way to a futuristic H-town (which stands in for Hampden) to consign some handmade cards at a store (which looks just like Atomic Books). And the fish guy that works there is named "Eamon" (which we figure is Eamon Espey in a cool shirt - and looking like a fish).
Just in case all our figuring is right, thanks, Ryan!
