Anecdotes from Behind the Retail Frontlines
Robbie Williams sat in the car outside while his friend came in and bought a lot of comics. Robbie leaned out of the window and shouted to his friend. It only took a few seconds for the car to be surrounded by fans. It would have been difficult for Williams to draw more attention to himself without climbing on the roof and singing Angels.
Behind the counterculture is a recurring series of celebrity encounters or near encounters in or close to a West London used book and record store.

All About and Contributors
HELP OUTSIDELEFT
Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT
If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
