FRONT OF BOOK Letters: A mere half-page, including a snide retort from News Editor Josh Feit toward someone daring to disagree with him. Why does
The Stranger have such a thin exoskeleton? Could it be that not even its writers and editors believe (and therefore feel the need to over-defend) the tripe the paper routinely shovels to its readers each week?.... Last Days: Didn't read....
NEWS With the Teen Dance finally being revoked (to the pleasure, I'm sure, of
Stranger readers who are undoubtedly tired of hearing about it week in and week out), will
The Stranger's news section be entirely made up of articles on the proposed monorail from this point on? Based on this week's section, the answer is yes....
FEATURE: A rather long-winded mess courtesy of former
Stranger Music Editor Everett True/unable to finish....
FILM A well-written interview/review from David Schmader (and, thankfully, no reviews from either Sean Nelson or Bradley Steinbacher)....
BOOKS Didn't read....
ART Didn't read....
THEATER Didn't read....
CHOW After Min Liao's surprising drubbing of Wild Ginger last week, she has unfortunately chosen to revert to her old anti-negative-review self. One wonders if Cheerleader would be a better title for her than Food Critic....
MUSIC Skimmed, quickly bypassed....
ETC. It's My Party: Didn't read.... Celeb I Saw U: Too gay.... I Love TV: Also too gay.... Savage Love: Based on Dan Savage's poorly penned e-mails to me criticizing my weekly critiques, I find it more than a little ironic that he has chosen to take a reader to task this week for poor grammar/spelling. The words "kettle" and "black" certainly come to mind.... Obits: Didn't read.
