Guess who got endorsed on the cover by last week's winner, the Bay Guardian? Where's the green beads, Chris? Letters about fixie bikes, and Tim Redmond notes that Renee Saucedo shouldn't have endorsed Prop 90 (the overbroad eminent domain one). Dan Noyes, gadfly. Also endorsed by the Guardian: Phil Angelides, Jerry Brown, Leland Yee, Barbara Lee, and Krissy Keefer. And Steven T. Jones had nothing at all to do with their endorsement of Alix Rosenthal. Did he have anything to do with the Alix flyer inserted in the paper? Sonic Reducer brings sexy back. Marke B had a nice time at the Love Parade. L.E. Leone's friend Carrie is moving to New York. And Gavin Newsom's horoscope: He is classically associated with the arts.
Next up, the East Bay Express: What, no letters about hipsters ruining Oakland? Instead: cheap wine. Banning homophobic reggae in Oakland. How's Dellums going to run anything when all of Oakland's money is in redevelopment? Cover article: private contractor goes to Iraq, where his feet swell to alarming size. Make your own corset! I Like Eating goes to the Kensington Pub ("arrr, all these kids better be the special of the day!"). And the Strokes play Davis.
After the jump: the SF Weekly and the SJ Metro, plus the Weekly of the Week!
The SF Weekly: Letters about the Haight -- plus: fixie bike hatred! Juicy Couture is stupid, and will Josh Wolf get a book deal? Cover article: the U.S. Attorney for the Bay Area kind of sucks. Meredith goes to Farmer Brown. Ced tries his hand at writing Meredith style! Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is back. Bestiality and Rick Santorum in Savage Love. Also -- there's an ad for you if you're male and you suffer from menstrual cramps on page 92.
And finally, the Metro: Do SJ gang experts have expertise in resolving the war on Iraq? Cover: Gary Singh about why Erik Smith's new book about California rules (it has a lot of San Jose in it, that's why.). Also, Gary's thoughts on Steve Wozniak. Alejandro Escovedo, and a Symphony Silicon Valley performance of Jennifer Higdon's Concerto for Orchestra. The vegan makes it to Berkeley to go to Cha-Ya and Cafe Gratitude. And Gary Singh also goes to a tattoo art show. Gary's all over this week!
Weekly of the Week: You should probably read the Guardian to get yourself mentally prepared for the upcoming election (whether or not you vote their ticket) -- but the Weekly of the Week nonetheless goes to the SF Weekly. Sounds like the U.S. Attorney's office is a disaster!
