News from Austin Books...
Fanboys Premiere This Friday
Local writer Ernie Cline told us recently that the comic shop featured in his upcoming movie Fanboys is based on Austin Books! Don't believe us? Take a look at the website for the movie's fictional Hole in the Wall Comics... it says so! Seeing as that we'd never chase off a Trekkie (some of us are Trek fans,) we'll assume we inspired the best parts of Hole in the Wall.
In Fanboys, it's 1998 and Star Wars fans around the world are eagerly waiting for Episode I. One group of friends make the decision to road trip to George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch to steal and be the first fans to see the movie. There's appearances by Seth Rogen, William Shatner, Carrie Fisher, Danny McBride, Billy Dee Williams, Kevin Smith, and even William Shatner! Plus, Kristen Bell as a comic shop employee. Hooray!
Since Austin is Cline's home, he fought for it to be one of the cities Fanboys will be premiering in. It opens Friday at the Alamo Ritz in lovely downtown Austin. If you can make it to the 6:45 showing, you'll catch the Star Wars costume contest that we'll be donating some prizes for!

I Deserve a Career in Industrial Plumbing Design
Also, I want to make urinals in more creative shapes, like a urinal shaped like Osama Bin Laden, so that all true, good, patriotic Americans can show their stripes whenever they enter a public restroom by peeing into Osama Bin Laden's mouth.
Or just a urinal shaped like the word "TERRORISM", so that we can all be like this beloved patriot:
Take that, al-Qaeda! U.S.A. #1!
