RevengeOfPrint2011, originally uploaded by sugarfreak.

The Revenge of Print train keeps a-rollin'!

We have almost 150 folks signed on to make at least 1 zine in 2011. Just think about that. If everyone keeps their pledge, that's at least 150 new zines in 2011!!

We have over 450 members Join the Facebook group.

I just wanted to take a moment to point out a couple things. In the discussion area of the Facebook group, I've started topics for Distribution and for Reviews.

If you have a store, distro, library, etc - please take a moment to post your contact info. For those who are making zines - we encourage you to distro you zines.

If you review zines, have a review zine zine or a blog, etc. - there is a topic where you can post your contact info also. Again, folks are encouraged to send out review copies as well.

A healthy zine culture means we need access to and critical discussion of zines.

Here is just a small sampling of the folks participating: Attempted Not Known, Booty, Brainscan, Caboose, Cashiers du Cinemart, Cinema Sewer, Creatrix, Crimewave, Culture Slut, Damaged, Daybook, Divine Exploitation, The East Village Inky, Exploitation Retrospect, Fish With Legs, Found Magazine, Free Press Death Ship, The Future Generation, Hoax Zine, Jape, Kung Fu Grip!, Leeking Ink, Meniscus, Micro-Film, Moxie, Negative Capability, Paracinema, Razorcake, Rigor Mortis, Sassyfrass Circus, Secret Prison, Slither, Smile Hon You're In Baltimore, Syndicate Product, Tail Spins, Too Much Coffee Man, We'll Never Have Paris, Xerography Debt... and WAY too many more to mention here.

Atomic Reading Club 2024: The End

Image
  We thought 2024 might be an appropriate year to explore the way things end. Careers, relationships, our emotional state, the world. All things end. Maybe even American democracy. But on the bright side, often the end of one thing is the beginning of something new. We're not sure how we'll be feeling by this time in 2025, so let's get ahead of things and look at The End.

Atomic Reading Club 2023 - Outer Limits

Image
Our theme this year is Outer Limits (as in "the outer limits of human belief"). It's like an X-files year! Or an In Search Of year. It's not about the supernatural but more like the paranormal, or the cultural history of investigations into the nature of such things. UFOs but not sci-fi. Not ghost stories but ghost hunting. Cryptids, not mythological creatures. What is real? What is nature? What is in the wild out there? In the universe? Why do we think there's something more out there? Things that exist at the very outer limits of human belief. OUR 2023 OUTER LIMITS READING LIST January - Desert Oracle: Volume 1: Strange True Tales from the American Southwest by Ken Layne February - I Hate This Place Volume 1 by Kyle Starks / Artyom Topilin / Lee Loughridge March - Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel by Olga Tokarczuk April - Communion: A True Story by Whitley Stieber May - Swamplandia! by Karen Russell June - Demon-Haunted World: Science as

Baltimore has had a long, rich history of record shops.   40 years ago, the city region had over 15 stores selling records. Here's how they were described in a city guide called Bawlamer: An Informal Guide To A Livelier Baltimore from 1974, published by the Citizens Planning and Housing Association.

Howard St.) In the heart of downtown shopping district. Records and tapes. The sounds were from Broadway to soul. For The Record, Inc. (Howard & Fayette St., 217 E. Baltimore St., Reisterstown Road Plaza) Baltimore's discount record shop. Sales weekly, largest collection of contemporary records. Excellent stock of standards, folk, classical, and "old rock". The staff was knowledgeable and helpful in all areas. Italia Kanta (3512 E. Lombard St. ) A converted rowhouse in the heart of Highlandtown, this
