The End of the Line: Almost No More Gay Media to Deathwatch

Jerry Portwood -

The news on Monday that Window Media had finally closed its doors (literally) and that its chain of papers was officially kaput didn't seem to register much. Maybe that's because its two NYC titles, Genre and New York Blade, had already perished earlier this year. But the fact that the Washington Blade, a paper with a sizable reputation, as well as 21-year-old Southern Voice, one of the last papers focused on gay and lesbian issues in the South, disappeared is reason to worry.

New Nervy B

Jordan Galloway -

Is there such a thing as a better nervous breakdown? Absolutely according to TheNervousBreakdown.com founder Brad Listi. The online literary collective launched a bigger, better Breakdown yesterday with its new site expansion. We found out from Listi about all TNB’s new bells and whistles and just what literary lovers can expect from the new site after, as he put it, lunatics take over the asylum and do a little redecorating.

Frank Rich Speaks About His Stephen Sondheim Encouragement, Gay Stuff

Editors -

Nowadays Times columnist Frank Rich is usually explaining Obama's agenda to the masses or championing this civil rights cause or some other issue. But first he was known for his theater criticism in the Times. This week he'll be interviewing Sondheim out in Seattle, so The Stranger's editor, Dan Savage, decided to interview Rich. He doesn't mince words—calling Washington D.C. much more unsophisticated than Seattle (or Chicago)—and sharing his opinions about theater.

Third Times the Charm With Poe Burial

Jordan Galloway -

One burial wasn’t enough for Edgar Allan Poe or his fixation with macabre and morbidity. In fact neither was two. On Sunday, Poe was buried for the third time in celebration of what would have been his 200th birthday.
