SFist Interviews: John Ortved, Author of The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History
Last week's winner, the East Bay Express. Dream cartoonist: Fascist zombies versus Marxist ones. So hard to tell the difference sometimes! The situation with the Oakland Trib union. Internal disputes at an East Bay lesbian bar. Cover article: should you store your baby's umbilical cord blood or donate it? Hand-churned ice cream in Fruitvale. Hey, we didn't know I Like Eating is a teacher! We would totally be in I Like Eating's homeroom class! Yoshi's on their new SF expansion. And the Crowded House reunion tour.
Next up, the SF Weekly: Matt Smith mocking the frivolity of San Francisco political concerns. The nudist mayoral candidate (sorry, Spotswood, not Gavin). Cover article: something's not quite right about the City Attorney's new anti-gang legal strategies. The woman who co-created the Daily Show is coming to town today. Avenue Q review, it's arch. Hey, why'd they give away the entire plot of the Donkey Kong documentary??? Was that really necessary?? (We're still going to see it, though.) Tossing the Rasputin Manifesto insert. Meredith Brody mocks that New York Times article (reg. req'd, but no need to actually read the piece) about how it's (gasp) okay for ladies to (gasp) like steak. SFist Ced calls it the surf and turf. Hey, when's Sonic Reducer Kimberly Chun starting at the Weekly? And we liked the idea of the Mad Libs Lucky 13 review, but it was kind of hard to read.
After the jump, the Bay Guardian and the SJ Metro, along with the Weekly of the Week and the YTD tally.
The Guardian: They want the supervisors to handle redevelopment because they're "less corrupted by money." Hello, what about Ed Jew (allegedly)?? This week: we love the golf course! Next week, the haters get a column. Halloween is going to be a disaster. Those "hotel concierges" actually work for tour bus operators! Also, they don't know that Naan and Curry in the Loin closed last year. Have an organic wedding. Hey, looks like Kimberly Chun's still over here at the Guardian. Cover: Fall Arts preview. A fascinating article about a dance inspired by an inmate's experiences at Intersection for the Arts, very thorough listings of upcoming shows (sorry, Amy Winehouse), club downlow, the Philip Glass Appomattox opera, movies, theater, and much much more. Daniel Johnston was here yesterday. And L.E. Leone at Camp Trans at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival (only food mentioned: beets.)
And the SJ Metro: Also the Fall Arts issue! Is fall coming up or something? South Bay taser inquiries. Hey, the San Jose City Council is also putting in a code of conduct, just like SF! Annalee Newitz on how corporate tools have taken over Wikipedia. The worrying slump of the minor league San Jose Giants. That plastic bodies exhibit's coming to San Jose next too. Don't worry, it's not by the same people who had those leaking corpses in SF. (This counts as a fall art event?) Music shows (mostly mainstream), composer John Adams at Stanford, and many listings. That bummer of a documentary about Darfur. And Sichuan food in Fremont -- spicy!
Weekly of the Week: Well, the SF Weekly is disqualified this week for ruining the ending of the Donkey Kong movie. Seriously -- so not cool, especially since they know the piece is coming out before the movie opens! We'll give it to the Guardian -- we really liked the fall arts preview. It was like last week's issue of Entertainment Weekly that has listings of every single movie ccoming out this season, which we always love (even though the picture of Reese Witherspoon on the cover kind of freaked us out, for no real articulable reason). The San Jose Metro fall arts preview was okay too, but had less content than the Guardian's.
YTD count: SFBG: 10; SF Weekly: 10; EBX: 8; Metro: 5.
