Street Missed You! And Is Jealous Of Your Tan.

Welcome back, dear readers, from your far off beaches and emerald-clad day drinking. Welcome back from your villas, your cruise ships, your volunteer high-horses and your parent's couches. Welcome back to the grim (but Spring-ish!) clutches of reality.

We could dwell on the impending doom of finals and graduation and internships and cankles, but to be honest we'd rather talk about ourselves. And thank goodness, because this week's issue of Street is anything but grim. Our feature is the story of Giovanni's Room, the country's oldest gay book store, and its fight for first acceptance and now survival. Food gives us the granola bar lowdown, Music helps you find a summer job in the Music industry and Bobby Valentino checks in with a post- Spring Break message to the bodacious shorties among you. Ronald Jordache (yes, Jordache!) Wynn of Mask & Wig is Ego of the Week, and of course there's the usual gossip (omgbestbreakever), reviews and general wonderfulness.

Pick up the issue! Or download the .pdf. Regardless: our weekly Writers' Meetings will resume tonight, 6:30 p.m. at 4015 Walnut. If you have any interest in contributing to Street, stop on by!!
