Magazine Wrap Up

My weekly magazine dish...I seem to go through a bunch of magazines and I always gleam something of interest in everyone so here are the things that mattered:

- The Huffington Post looks interesting. I hate to say it but newspapers are dead, just like the landline telephone, the CD, and TV series as we remember them. I'll give this a try, always looking to try and stay informed in today's 24/7 news cycle.

- The album Night Ripper or a mash up...need to try and locate a song or two but perhaps interesting?

- The Making of Star Wars....yikes as it been 30 years?

-Michael Chabon's new novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, due out on May 1st, 2007 and for those of you in Denver he will be at the downtown Tattered Cover on May 17th, 2007.

- May 5th, 2007 is free comic book day...to sort of coincide with Spiderman 3's showing. Looking forward to see an early version of The Umbrella Academy

- John Cassaday on Captain America...will need to look into this...

- X-men 200 in June 2007...a new direction for our merry mutants...god I hope so!

- Tokyo Toys

- Red Rock Spa

- Perplex City is an interesting site with games galore. Back in 2004 they hosted a card game treasure hunt.

- And finally the Blender Rock Star Wars winner was announced...not a big surprise...as the Beatles beat out Bob Dylan. Some thoughts on the 64 band (NCAA tournament style) battle...Bruce Springsteen losing out to Public Enemy? The Smiths beating out U2? I mean U2 didn't even make it to the Elite 8? The Stones getting beat out by Prince? Prince making it to the Final Four? Talking Heads beating out Elvis? Like the Madonna vs Michael Jackson, with Madonna taking it. Nirvana vs the Beatles...that would be something to see (or is that hear?)
