Save the World!

It seems like newly re-elected Mayor Bloomberg thinks he can to do a better job cleaning up the Gowanus Canal than Superfund. Promising $150 million, Bloomberg might just want to get that nasty bit of clean-up swiftly out of the way so real-estate can keep rollin' out dolla's. Superfund tends gets to be a little extensive in its cleanup...and who wants that?! Get the full story at The ArchitectsNewspaper.

Perhaps Broolynites should have gotten Americans UK to clean up the Gowanus! They saved rock n' roll...why not a little city water? They've got the outfits to prove it and you can see them tomorrow Nov. 12! See these comic book rockers at the Royale and perhaps convince them to do a little sewage clean-up...

Comic Book Club

OVERFLOW is a fan of the comic book, the funny, the graphic novel. This evolving form is far from underground these days, and if you're a fan you no longer have to hide in the closet with a mini mag light in shame.

Our friends Bergen Street Comics are launching a new series: the Abrams ComicArts Book Club on Thursday November 12th. The book they are discussing is "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud.

There's a deep discount if you buy the book at their shop, and refreshments will be served, although we hear it's also BYOB.
