It's Comic-Con weekend in Charm City, and that's not even the beginning of all the excitement coming up this week. Let's dive in:

Tonight, PostSecret creator and author Frank Warren will be at the Bloomberg Center to discuss his latest, "PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God." If you're a fan of the Web site, I know you won't want to miss this event.

Also tonight, Atomic Books in Hampden kicks off their new Atomic Fiction Series with authors Tao Lin and Rupert Wondolowski, who will read from their new books, "Shoplifting from American Apparel" and "The Origin of Paranoia as a Heated Mole Suit," respectively.

Tomorrow night, "Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore" holds its open mic at Cyclops Books. If you want to share your story with Baltimore, reserve your time slot now, and you might see your essay in a future issue of the award-winning zine.

Downtown Baltimore will be inundated with superheroes, their biggest fans and their creators all weekend at the annual Baltimore Comic-Con. Held at the Baltimore Convention Center, 1- and 2-day passes are available -- and children 10 and younger can attend for free! I will be out of town this weekend, but if past conventions are any indication, this is going to be a great time for all. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

And finally, Sunday you can attend Edgar Allan Poe's funeral ($35 in advance, $40 at the door) at either 12:30 p.m. or 4:30 p.m.

There's plenty more where that came from! See the Read Street calendar for more events; and be sure to let us know if there are any events we're missing!
