Tonight: Two rad comic related events in Baltimore
What are the odds? Two rad comic related events tonight in Baltimore!
Wednesday, November 18
7PM. Free. Red Emmas.
Mount Vernon, Baltimore.
Our all-time favorite Latina punk-rocker-illustrator-novelist is back on tour and headed to Red Emma’s on November 18! Fresh off the European Sister Spit tour, Cristy Road is travelling the nation reading from new work and presenting new illustrations to delight and disgust. Her repertoire consists of ten years of independent publishing, two graphic novels, and countless illustrations for a broad slew of magazines, record album art, concert posters, and political organizations. Absolutely iconic work, filled with images of real people doing real things – explicitly NOT the representational model of human perfection that Western art teaches us to expect. Don’t miss this one, you’ll be glad you came.

7PM. Free. Atomic Books.
Hampden, Baltimore.
Paul Hornschemeier will discussing his new graphic novel collection All And Sundry and Jay Ryan will be talking about the new book collecting his rock poster art, Animals And Objects In And Out Of Water.

I was listening to WEAA the other day and heard a great interview with a some people behind the scenes at Strike.TV. Their inception, mission and bottom-up approach to broadcasting are all remarkable in their own right, and worthy of your attention.
STRIKE.TV was born out of the writers strike. In December 2007, we challenged the members of the Writers Guild – create original programs for the Internet and we will provide you with a website and ad revenue. The ad revenue profits will go to the Writers Guild Foundation Industry Support Fund, now since absorbed by the Actors Fund’s Entertainment Assistance Program. The EAP has been offering financial relief and other services to entertainment industry professionals negatively impacted by the strike.
All of the web shows and films on our site – as well as the site itself – were made by people who donated their time and energy for this important cause, and in accordance with our pledge, Strike.TV will be donating its first three months of ad revenue profits.
You can browse the episode archives at Strike.TV or stream select episodes on Hulu. Check out what Wired had to say about it.

Dead Venues: Map
Dead Venues Map
Or, “How I Spent The Better Part Of My Weekend”. I spent most of the day yesterday experimenting with the Google Maps API for the Dead Venues project. There’s a lot of power behind this API and it’s a lot of fun to work with. Despite some holes in the Baltimore street view data, this will be a great interactive feature for the site. By clicking a venue marker on the map, it will display a present day street view (where available) and cross link to related articles in the (new) Dead Venues Blog.
