Aw, shit. Cody's Books, the half-century-old Berkeley bookstore that has long been an East Bay institution -- one of the truly great west coast stores -- has closed its doors forever.
After 52 years, Cody's Books will shut its doors effective June 20, 2008. The Berkeley bookstore has been a beacon to readers and writers throughout the nation and across the world. Founded by Fred and Pat Cody in 1956, Cody's has been a Berkeley institution and a pioneer in the book business, helping to establish such innovations as quality paperbacks and in-store author readings. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Cody's was a landmark of the Free Speech movement and was a home away from home for innumerable authors, poets and readers.
The Board of Directors of Cody's Books made this difficult decision after years of financial distress and declining sales.
According to Cody's president, Hiroshi Kagawa, "[It] is a heartbreaking moment…in the spring of 2005 when I learned about the financial crisis facing Cody's, I was excited to save the store from bankruptcy. Unfortunately, my current business is not strong enough or rich enough to support Cody's. Of course, the store has been suffering from low sales and the deficit exceeds our ability to service it."
It was an incredible honor to stop at Cody's for a signing on my book tour last month -- I'm really glad I got a chance to connect with the wonderful staff and patrons there while the store was still around.

Process Media publisher Jodi Wille says: If you're in Los Angeles this coming weekend or next week, we have two very special happenings to celebrate Los Angeles' occult heritage and our upcoming new Process release, Master of the Mysteries: The Life of Manly Palmer Hall by LA Times writer Louis Sahagun.
This is one of the most mind blowing books I've ever worked on, and a perfect followup to The Source.
In the early 20th Century, Southern California became home to one of America’s most powerful occult scenes. Alternative religions, Eastern gurus and esoteric societies compelled thousands to seek enlightenment while mystically inclined civic leaders, artists, and mavericks shaped Los Angeles into a world-class metropolis.
Manly P. Hall was a focal point of this subculture, a striking, self-educated scholar who became the 20th Century’s most prolific writer and speaker on ancient philosophies, mysticism and magic. He was a confidante of celebrities and politicians, and in 1991 he died -- some say he was murdered -- in what remains an open-ended Hollywood murder mystery.
Master of the Mysteries unfolds the dramatic life story of this enigmatic visionary while revealing the occult roots that built Los Angeles and invigorated the rest of the nation for decades to come.
3910 Los Feliz Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90027
phone 323.663.2167
tickets: $1
This historic celebration includes a slideshow and lecture on the life of Manly Palmer Hall by Louis Sahagun; a talk on Los Angeles’ Freemasonic heritage by of Rex R.

Screening of “The Magician” The Silent Movie Theater

Tickets - $12/ $8 for members
In celebration of the creation of the new Manly P. Hall biography Master of the Mysteries by Louis Sahagun, Process presents a special screening of Ingmar Bergman’s 1959 supernatural classic The Magician with an original score composed by string arranger Yvanne Spevack and a live ensemble of improvising magicians.
Bergman’s film is a mystical contemplation of a magician and his vagrant troupe of medicine-show performers as they travel through the country in the mid-nineteenth century and are hounded by a skeptical public. Utilizing a combination of traditional orchestral string instruments, electric guitars, keyboards, accordion and electronic beats, the ensemble will be led by Ysanne on acoustic and electric violin, musical saw, midi-synthesized electronic textures and processing. The Magician marks the second time Ysanne has scored a film and performed it live, the first being Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle Of Algiers. Master of the Mysteries author Louis Sahagun will be present before and after the show to meet guests and sign books.
Dir. Ingmar Bergman, 1958, 35mm, 97 min.

The Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, Italy hold more than 8000 mummies, from artists and surgeons to military figures and monks who died between the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 20th. The bodies are embalmed, fully clothed, and many of them posed as if they were still alive. As the bodies have decayed, albeit slowly, over the years, the catacombs experience apparently has become even more surreal. Architectural historian Robert Harbison of London Metropolitan University wrote about his visit to the Capuchin Catacombs in Cabinet magazine. The article is accompanied by intense photos by Marco Lanza. From the article:
In Palermo... corpses are treated as characters in a play. Perhaps Walt Disney and Madame Tussaud were inspired by places like this, but the Capuchin crypt will not remind you of their worlds, for in spite of all the talk about the great lengths the monks have gone to in order to create lifelike effects, it feels like somewhere that fell into disuse long ago.
Most of the corpses are wearing clothes, it is true, many of them are sitting up, and whole rows of them are standing. But standing is only a mistake of vision: they are hanging from hooks, so their feet don't normally touch the ground. And the clothe-- there's a kind of allegory in them. They are so dusty and so faded that the whole picture sinks toward something like monochrome. They remind me of a painter that a friend of mine knew who got the idea of painting indoors with the blinds drawn and the lights off. The results were extremely melancholy: muted colors, indistinct forms.

Senate House Democrats covered themselves in shame today, joining with Republicans to pass a bill granting amnesty to the cowardly telephone companies who helped the President's office with its illegal bulk-wiretapping campaign that spied on every American call and email without any judicial oversight. What's more, the bill also allows this to continue going on in the future. Who needs the fourth amendment?
The bill (.pdf) could be voted on as soon as Friday in the House, given its backing by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who in February organized a high-stakes showdown with the president over a substantially similar bill. The Senate would likely also quickly pass the bill, despite already vocal opposition from the ACLU, left-leaning bloggers, as well as Sens. Christopher Dodd (D-Connecticut) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont)...
Additionally, the bill grants amnesty to the nation's telecoms that are being sued for allegedly breaking federal wiretapping laws by turning over billions of Americans' call records to government data-mining programs and giving the government access to internet and phone infrastructure inside the country. The bill strips the right of a federal district court to decide whether the companies violated federal laws prohibiting wiretapping without a court order.
Instead, the attorney general would need only certify to the court either that a sued company did not participate, or that the government provided some sort of written request to the companies that said that the president authorized the program and that his lawyers deemed it to be legal. That would be presented to federal district court Judge Vaughn Walker, who is overseeing the more than 40 consolidated cases against the telecoms. Walker's authority would be limited to judging whether the preponderance of the evidence is that the companies did get a written request, and if he finds that to be true -- as the Senate Intelligence Committee has already publicly stated -- he must dismiss the cases.
Update: Tim from EFF sez, "The Senate vote will probably be sometime next week, could be as early as Tuesday. Folks can contact their Senator here"

Remember how awesome and cool it was to hear Gnarls Barkley's cover of the Violent Femmes' classic anthem "Gone Daddy Gone?" Two great summer debut albums, separated by decades, featuring the same song, done two different ways.
In the early 20th Century, Southern California became home to one of America’s most powerful occult scenes. Alternative religions, Eastern gurus and esoteric societies compelled thousands to seek enlightenment while mystically inclined civic leaders, artists, and mavericks shaped Los Angeles into a world-class metropolis.

We also looked at a scale for professional bodybuilders and this year's Tokyo Toy Show. Joel slummed inside the insidious bowels of some Chinese gadget sweatshops, scheduled a voyage on the world's largest cruise liner and looked at some faux skylights capable of programmable lighting.
