	<< Ben Claassen Ben just took second in the Baltimore City Paper’s comic contest – but he’s first in our heart. His site (and is stuff) is end-to-end great, but then at the Small Press Expo (yeah we’re putting our geek on our sleeve this week) he showed us this just finished this love letter to his Katrina-beleaguered town and snagged us all over again. from bendependent.com
Steve, Don’t Eat It (@ The Sneeze) Someplace between David Sedaris and Fear Factor, one man’s self-imposed journey into the heart of culinary oddicy. You gotta start with Cuitlacoche which hooked us for life. And then we saw a Quesadilla Huitlacoche on a menu and were this close to ordering it in that “taste this milk – is it bad?” kinda way. Cuitlacoche
	<< Call The Doctor Sleater-Kinney (1996) The Tokyo Rose had a lotta great shows in its run, but whenever we explain that to people we always mention that S-K played there a few weeks before they broke. We’ve been rockin’ this album all week – it’s gotten even better with age.
Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell >> People told me to read Ghostwritten and then Number9Dream, and I slept on ‘em both. Then I got this as a gift. It’s a great read. I usually find Chinese Box kinda narratives too witty-cute to stomach, but somewhere between the plot plot and more plot and pure joy of writing talent this one took me away. Those other two books are next. Check the way lame UK cover!
	<< Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Al Robbins As Grissom’s opening one-liners are getting more and more tired, the doc gets better. He always gets that tossed-off whip of a line that isn’t saying anything, but is still flirting with something dark you probably don’t want to know about. That and his hands are to the brim with intestines.
