The one question I am asked the most is "how can I get in touch with John Waters?" Well, I'll tell ya. There's a legendary indie bookstore called Atomic Books in Baltimore. They are kind enough to collect snail mail for him (no emails). For more info, visit their site. And while you're there, browse around and buy something!
