Earthquake in Chile

February 27, 2010

Tags: Earthquake, Chile, Paniko

Early this morning an 8.8-magnitude earthquake--the largest in 50 years--struck Chile. My thoughts are with my friends in Santiago, Valparaiso, and Viña del Mar. If you look at my home page, you can see a picture of some of them--the staff of Paniko.cl. Unfortunately, this site, as well as many other Chilean sites, are not working at the moment.

“Whatever twisted... fantasy you might’ve had, you can bet that Rosen once brought it to life in print.” —Ben Myers, Bizarre

“Shocking… evocative… entertaining… A rich account that adds considerable depth and texture to any understanding of how the pornography industry worked.” —Patrick Glen, H-Net

“Beaver Street is a surreal, perverted mindfuck.” —Kendra Holiday, editor, The Beautiful Kind

“A confessional for-adults-only romantic comedy with a rare, thoughtful twist... riveting.” —David Comfort, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“An electrifying journey through porn’s golden age.” —The Sleazoid Podcast

“Beaver Street is funny, sad, disgusting and hopeful in equal measures.” —Synergy magazine (Australia)
