The New England Comic Book Store Owners

Posted in Books, Comic Books with tags , , , , on January 28, 2023 by chrisdsav

Working on a new boo coming out late this year hopefully. A book about the comic book store owners of New England. A story of who they are their history where they came from why did they open their stores.

Currently we have That’s Entertainment, Bedrock Comics, Hall Of Comics The Comic Shop and more joining.

Wanted to look into why there are so many comic shops in the new England area it’s a great collection of stories from people who started small businesses in these 6 states. Got the idea after my first book The New England Horror Film Makers was finished and after listening to a book about comic shops history around the country called Comic Shop: The Retail Mavericks Who Gave Us a New Geek Culture. I said as soon as the New England Horror book was done this would be the next book.

MANRAY Returns

Posted in entertainment, Goth, music, news with tags , , , on January 18, 2023 by chrisdsav

MANRAY a Goth club in Massachusetts known by many but my first discovered it while doing research on Goth Culture ( for a book that never came out unfortunately and the research is long since lost)

I was introduced to the club by Artist Aaron White back in 1999 it was mind blowing. I had never seen anything like it in my very young adult life.  I was blown away by the music the atmosphere and the time spent. I went back a few times here and there before they closed there doors On July 30, 2005, after more than 20 years. Manray owner wanted to cash in on the property value and now it’s condos. The new club opened right around the corner from the old location.

On Halloween 2015 ManRay Revival happened under the tutelage of Club Frequenter Xtine and Heroes Host with the help of some amazing people had a return for a night and it was a blast with love bands and great music. I was there the entire day helping set up. Now 8 years last last Sat a soft opening RSVP event ManRay returned. It’s full opening happens to be tonight Crypt night. Saturday RSVP was a taste of what is to return for the club and want you can expect.

Chris Ewens who has a long industries music career as an award winning DJ from Detroit who came to the Boston area Going back to the mid 80s. He  was the head  DJ for ManRay from 86-2005. He spins a collection of weird unusual goth and industrial works or art.

Some of which I recognized some of loved some I couldn’t find my dance groove too, but I’m not a super dancer so that’s not to say it was bad music. The dance flood has a central stage and two ajoining smaller stages for gogo dancing and a lounge area to breath and relax away from the main floor crowd and music.

They had a bit of late opening starting an hour past the schedule time due to some technology issues and we have all dealt with technology being a pain in the ass.  I didn’t arrive till 1030 and was able to get in by 11. I didn’t get a chance to try their drink of the night as the line for that was not moving but was escortes over by a lovely goth girl I got to chatting to a bar on the other side of the club for a nice cold Blue Moon. I am so glad I got in on Saturday. They have four nights if you been missing the goth night life of Boston Check it out tonight.

This has this cool gate folder cover that opens the fake human face to reveal the Cockroach monster underneath, with a lime green dark color to the vinyl. It’s really amazing. This was the big studio movie that really introduced the world to Guillermo del Toro.
