Marjane Satrapi was on the Colbert Report. Has anyone seen Persepolis yet? I’m literally dying to go see it.
The Wren’s Nest has a new theme song that features the word “superfly.” Now it’s stuck in my head. Doo doo dooty doo doo doo.
Wired gives Dan Kennedy’s Rock On a 9 out of 10.
Powell’s, indie book store nerdvana, is rolling out a new subscription service that will offer special edition books and/or supporting materials. The service, to be called IndieSpensable (like it!) will begin with a limited edition of Lydia Millet’s How the Dead Dream (which I’m reading now - so far, so awesome).
What happens after you write your blog post? Let me show you it.

Persepolis was wonderful! I saw it on Saturday at the Landmark in midtown Atlanta. Just found your blog via the folks at the Wren’s Nest. Also just saw your Art Speigelman in Atlanta post–how cool is that?! Thanks for the info!

I may have to do a comix double feature next Tuesday night, as long as I have a hall pass. I think that I need to try to catch a later showing of Persepolis on the way home from seeing Speigelman. That plan is solid gold right there.

Alas, I just realized we’re all spelling it wrong: it’s actually Spiegelman.

Tim: Hall pass granted. I’m taking ‘Lil Got Books to a Mardi Gras party to see her favorite band. Am I allowed to say “Laissez les bon temps roulet?”
