FRONT OF BOOK Letters: Only a half page, with a rather lengthy notice of corrections at the bottom that merely showcases just how inept
The Stranger's editorial employees can be.... Last Days: A rather sober column this week/a pleasant read....
NEWS A meticulous, well-researched article on James Ujaama by Josh Feit that is unfortunately overshadowed elsewhere in the section by a rather insipid, immature attack against Mr. Feit's competitor at the
Seattle Weekly....
FEATURE: Didn't read....
FILM A surprise! Sean Nelson has actually penned a film review that is both well written and a service to the film being reviewed. Perhaps this is a fluke? The image of a thousand chimpanzees typing on typewriters certainly comes to mind....
THEATER None....
BOOKS Didn't read....
ART Didn't read....
CHOW Unavailable at deadline....
MUSIC A rather narrowly focused section this week. Does
The Stranger believe there is only one "type" of music in Seattle worth writing about?...
ETC. It's My Party: Didn't read.... Celeb I Saw U: Too gay.... I Love TV: Just gay enough.... Savage Love: Savage finally announces the "winner" of his underwear contest. Such a long wait between the contest's end and the announcement of the winner should cast a shadow of suspicion as to the contest's authenticity. Then again, scruples have never been Mr. Savage's (or
The Stranger's, for that matter) strong suit.... Obits: Didn't read.
