Next, the SF Weekly. [For some reason, they haven't updated the website at the time we're writing this. We'll try and add the links in when they update their site. Does this have anything to do with the news we heard of their copy editor leaving?] Matt Smith gets a form letter from Starbucks apologizing for spilling boiling coffee on his father. The Burning Man diary would be funnier if someone hadn't already set fire to the Burning Man a few days early. Ha! Why do we spend so much money on MUNI? Cover article: It's Chris Daly!!! Let the rehabilitation of the District 6 supervisor begin!! They call him "sweet," and note that his brother is a Republican. Fight finales at the Four Star next week, and we love the headline "Feast Bay" for the Art and Soul festival in Oakland over the weekend. A film reviewer from New York hated Balls of Fury. Common is a sensitive rapper. And talk with Ben Gibbard from Death Cab about Kerouac.

After the jump: the East Bay Express (independently owned since Hank Aaron was the home run king -- ha! We liked that one) and the San Jose Metro, along with the Weekly of the Week and the YTD count.
