1. I received a copy of the new McSweeney's, guest edited by Daniel Clowes, in the mail today. (Actually, two copies--because I ordered one for my brother and the dipshits sent it to the wrong address.) It's a stunningly gorgeous object. You feel guilty bending back the pages or soiling it with spilt tea. I'm just starting to digest the visual feast. Douglas Wolk's swell piece about the volume ran a few weeks ago in City Pages. The price is steep, $24.00, but well worth it.
2. Daniel Gross deftly deconstructs the Bush Boom.
3. The Thunder will attempt to advance to the third round of the U.S. Open Cup tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at The Jimmy. Their opponent: Boulder Rapids Reserve. Details, as always, at Blue Sky.
4. Two books I can't wait to get my hands on: Franklin Foer's How Soccer Explains the World and Jonathan Ames' Wake Up, Sir!
