Check out this custom screen-printed poster for the book launch designed by Stacey Case (aka Buddy Lee Roth out of The Tijuana Bibles). Click on it for a closer look. Hope to see many of you at the book launch on Wednesday. Leave a message in the guestbook if you had a good time (or even if you didn't). See you at The Bovine! Feel free to dress...religiously.

This may be a bit premature, but it looks as though AntiCristo will be getting major US Distribution soon -- hopefully by Christmas. Look for it in Barnes & Nobles, Borders, Ingram, and Amazon.com. It's already listed on Amazon.com UK.

AntiCristo has already generated quite a bit of media attention in its short release life. There have been pieces in Exclaim Magazine and an interview with Steve on one of Britain's most popular talk radio shows, The James Whale Show. Look for more coverage of AntiCristo in upcoming issues of the British magazines Film Review and Desire.

Since AntiCristo's release, there has been a good amount of publicity that actually came to us (which is rare for a new book by a first-time author). Steve Fentone just did a radio interview for a major British show and an interview for Knave magazine, with possible pieces in Bizarre Magazine and Hustler Magazine in the offing. We're currently buttering up local media in preparation for AntiCristo's launch party at the Bovine Sex Club on September 27th, 2000!

Received the hardbacks two days ago and the softbacks today. Overall a great job, unfortunately marred by several mostly minor errors committed by the service bureau. We were screaming absolute bloody murder for the first couple days but we'll get over it. In the strange world of collecting, the flawed copies may actually become worth more. Slight imperfections aside, AntiCristo is easily one of the greatest reference books ever created in Canada (albeit a Brit publication).

Buy one and make your contribution to a couple of hard-working independent artists. Torontonians can purchase it at Tower Records, The World's Biggest Bookstore and Suspect Video (our original publisher, who fell through). It can also be found on Amazon.com UK and for those wanting the mail-order only numbered hardback edtion, go to the FAB Press website.

Still waiting for the books to arrive. After well over three years of slogging away to finish AntiCristo, you'd think a fortnight wouldn't make a difference. It does. Jumping back; even after "finishing" AntiCristo it wasn't finished. Securing our publisher at FAB Press ushered in an entirely new body of work: adding pages of content for bindery purposes; negotiating the contract; censoring and removing certain images to appease the conservative cunts that decide what and what isn't in good taste; last minute additions and corrections; final proofing; burning and shipping CDs etc. 90% of this work was done via e-mail without ever meeting our British publisher face-to-face (which has been in turns a blessing and a curse).

If time is liquid then the few remaining days until we hold it in our hands are flowing like glass (and it does flow in case you didn't know). This is compounded by the minutiae of UPS and Canada Customs regulations and charges. If you're into self brain-mutilation, spend an hour navigating the gargantuan Customs & Tariffs Code. There has perhaps never been a document with this infinitesimal a breakdown except for the Human Genome Project. I did find out that books coming into Canada are charged no duty (good) but they are hit with GST (bad). The courier then charges a "dispersement fee" based on that tax. It's all about making sure everybody gets their piece of your pie...Luckily I'll be blowing off most of this stress on the top floor of the Delta Chelsea tomorrow night.
