Builder of Oakland's Fox Theater Once Imprisoned For 'White Slavery'
Last week's winner, the East Bay Express: Life sucks in Haiti. Hybrids -- they may look cute, but their silent wheels make them angels of death for visually-impaired pedestrians! Cover article: Day in the life of the Homeland Security agent patrolling the bay in a gunboat. Down In Front thought the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club show blew. Yay, Green Day! Yay, Blackalicious! And Savage Love: a baaaaaad experience with a mistaken-gender date, and an invitation to send your thoughts about it to Dan. Should be an interesting column next week!
And some sad news from the other New Times affiliate, the SF Weekly: we got a tip that publisher John Mecklin will be leaving, as of next week. No! Who will Mr. Brugman fight with now? Thanks for all the fun over the last eight years, Mr. Mecklin, and we wish you the best of luck for whatever you do next. Matt Smith's hilariously bad afternoon the day the beer truck blew up, which segues only somewhat seamlessly into a discussion about how we're misusing transportation money from Congress. Awesome Ted Rall about disasters across this great land. Are you an apologist for FEMA? Cover article: the Lower Fillmore area -- in-fighting about its redevelopment. Is Little Star better than Zachary's (or is it just SF snobbery?) The lead singer from Xiu Xiu. And Mecklin loves trance music. We'll miss you, big guy!
After the jump: The Bay Guardian, the Metro, and the pick of the week.
What will the Guardian do without John Mecklin? It's like the peanut butter without the chocolate! Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting! Anti-war anti-Pelosi protest next Monday (even though she voted against the war, they think she didn't really mean it.) Bubble tea! Sex issue! Ain't nothing better than left-wing independent media sex: Dungeons! Gay porn blog! Bisexuals -- it's wrong to mock! Annalee Newitz's best sex toy purchases of the year (adjustable hog ties, for the fumble-fingered, lands at no. 4 on the list). People I Want To Do On Tribe. We're interested, interested.... and suddenly the Guardian lost interest! Is Dan Leone going to move? And Love Parade -- why?
The Metro: (For some reason, the Metro hasn't updated its site yet -- so no links, sorry.) Gary Singh misses Frontier Village. Hybrid test drive! (Hope the author didn't hit any visually-impaired pedestrians.) Newsflash! Bush had no plan for New Orleans! Cover article: Dylan. Tarantula festival this weekend! Propaganda art at Stanford. Underground hip-hop movie festival this weekend at MACLA. And -- yo! -- the Straight Dope gives you the scoop about the time the Dutch killed and ate their prime minister. We were totally asleep for that day of European History class! They ate their prime minister????
Pick of the week: Wellllll, all right, we're picking the sex issue. Who doesn't like to read about sex? But -- can we just say? The Dutch ate their prime minister!
