Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. A list issue! We love lists. Coverage of the Battlecry dueling rallies last week. Annalee shares some blogger feelings. Johnny Ray Huston also thinks villainy's name is Stephen on Top Chef! The club reviewer preemptively mocks himself. Book section. A review of the Whitney Biennial by SFist Katie. And -- oh, SFBG! Win preview tickets to Brick by doing a word search? Come on, let's go rebus! Nothing beats the little cartoon eye, a heart, and a picture of a female sheep.
Next up, the Metro: Circus protestors at the HP Pavilion. (n.b.: your correspondent represents these protestors at the day job, but had nothing to do with getting the article in the Metro, we swear. It was pretty funny when our client ran up to us yesterday and gave us a copy of the Metro, which we were already stressing out about picking up.) Soccer is cool. The Fly on the guy who wants to buy the Merc News. Cover article: giant squid! This article is like Moby Dick, only with squids, in California, and without the guy named Starbuck. Thin-crust pizza in SJ. An article on Edvard Munch. Aaaaaaaah! Todd Inoue's second SXSW roundup -- hey, he stopped by Austinist's secret Flaming Lips show! And SFist Eve's horoscope: 6714 is NOT your lucky number.
After the jump, the SF Weekly, the EBX, and the pick of the week.
The Weekly: The Apologist on the SF sewers. Lots of excrement jokes. Sucka Free City, on designing your own Barry and why the column is not a blog. Cover article: is the joke on you, stripping feminists? (This is actually a really good article, our flip summary aside.) Jello SF returns to the Exploratorium. A graffiti video game. Book insert: they're starting a follow-up to NaNoWriMo -- NaNoEditingMo. Seriously! Meredith on hot dogs, and Ced on Meredith. And Dan Savage on a closeted roommate.
And the East Bay Express: Hey, why no table of contents? The dream cartoonist on Sasquatch (we won't spoil it for you but it's hilarious). Was Eli Polk (the one Susan Polk son supporting his mother in the murder trial) filming a porn when he got arrested? Water Cooler: Funny birth plans and burning rubber -- and a hilarious Ayn Rand Institute press release. Why didn't Eastlake turn into Oakland's Castro? Cover article: how to commit real estate fraud (it involves forging documents). And Rob Harvilla moves into food and books, reviewing pizza places with live music and the new book by the lead singer from the Mr. T Experience.
Pick of the week? The EBX -- best overall. You should check out the Metro's squid article, though, it's pretty cool, and the pro-sex feminism debate is always an interesting one (plus -- and proving the article's point -- pictures of scantily clad ladies!)

Hey Rita,
Where in San Fran do you pick up the Metro?
Thanks!
hey AF -- so as you probably suspected, the Metro doesn't distribute in SF; I have to get my South Bay sources to pick it up for me. Their online version is pretty faithful to the original, though, as those things go.
