Look at what I did!

Everyone knows that print is dead, so to celebrate that fact, I went and made a fanzine! What a good idea! It's called The Atomic Elbow and it's about professional wrestling, which is one of the best things ever.



It's 48 pages of me and some other folks (namely Scott T. Holland, Box Brown and Patrick Dean. Featuring photos by Zia Hiltey) writing and drawing about rasslin', and I know I'm biased, but I think it's pretty good.

It's got stuff in it about Bob Mould.



It's got a comic about Andre the Giant and Bad News Brown, it's got an interview with UltraMantis Black, and it's got an almost 9,000 word essay about Halloween Havoc 2000.



Also, the first 100 copies come with a limited edition set of three one-inch buttons featuring UltraMantis Black, the UltraMantis Black logo and the Atomic Elbow logo.

The first printing is sold out, but you'll still get an Atomic Elbow logo button and a special edition Atomic Elbow mystery poster. (I mean, it's really an 11" x 17" photocopy, but I can call that a poster, right? I say I can. And I say it's a "poster".) I'm not going to show you what the poster looks like on the internet. You've gotta order a copy to find out.


You probably want one of these, right? I hope you do.

You can get one by sending me five dollars through paypal. If you live in Canada or Mexico, please send seven (American) dollars. If you live in a country that isn't the USA, Canada or Mexico, please send nine (American) dollars. The email address to use is secondperiod[at]gmail[dot]com. Or, you can do it the old-timey way and send me the cash in the mail. The address is 231 Rhodes Drive / Athens, GA / 30606.

Please buy my wrestling fanzine!

Thanks!

Where have I been this time?

I have been working on a thing. That's where.

This is the thing I have been working on.



The cover'll probably look slightly different in its final version. You can see it in April, probably. It'll be pretty good.

Still watchin' rasslin'

If you're in Athens one week from tonight (on Tuesday the 24th), you should come by the Flicker Bar and watch some wrestling tapes with me. It'll be fun!

Championship Wrestling at Flicker Volume 4

If you are in or near Athens, GA on Wednesday night, you should come watch old 'rasslin videos with us.

It'll be fun.

They're letting us do it again!

The good people at the Flicker Theater and Bar are letting us show Classic Wrestling videos on their big screen again. So if you want to come and eat some popcorn and drink some of whatever it is you drink with some other nerds while you watch men attempt to beat each other up, please show up! We're going to try to make this a regular thing this summer.

Coming Soon!

Finally, you can watch wrestling on a Monday night!



Tell all your friends!

Introducing his opponent, already in the ring...

Old nerds watching men fight...

So, I'm doing this thing. I'll be showing old 'rasslin videos at the Flicker Theater and Bar in Athens. I hope a few people show up for this thing, then I'll do it again. Maybe it can become a thing? Who knows. I just realized (because of a comment left on this entry) that I didn't type the date for this thing. It's happening on the 16th of May, 2011. BE THERE!

Not sure what I'm gonna show yet. Maybe Starrcade 1990 but, I'm totally open to suggestions and whims.

Happy Birthday, Nature Boy.

Today is the 62nd birthday of "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, a man who I have spent a significant portion of my life watching on the television. Although I know you will never read this, happy birthday to you, sir.
