TNG: In Case You Missed It - 1/30/09

TNG Events Editor Jolly brings you the week-in-review every Friday afternoon.

For many of us, this was our first full week back to work/normal life since the Inauguration – and what a week it was! We had delightful snow on Tuesday, less-than-delightful ice on Wednesday, and the Super Bowl’s coming up this weekend. With all of the excitement and inclement weather, it can be easy for things to go under the radar. But don’t worry! We’re here for you, bringing you the best, most popular and most discussed goodness from this week that was.

So here, presented for your convenience, is what you may have missed on TNG.

This week:


In Commentary:

• Zack kicked off the week with a Monday Upper made of magical ear-crack. Come to Homo/Sonic this Saturday night to hear it again!

• Corey shared his story about being a substitute girlfriend to a terrible driver.

• Ben questioned the value of a fancy education. Grad students everywhere weeped (more than usual).

• We asked about the dangers of looking at other men/women.

• TNG reader Selena shared her story about coming out and growing up.

• We were offered a look into the life of a single guy.

• We stepped into The Ladies' Room and asked what your dream L Word spin-off would be.

• BlueSeqPerl wondered about coming out resources for queer Christians.

In Music:

• Rocky and the rest of the staff provided the perfect soundtrack for a snowy day. What would yours include?

• We gave away Lykke Li tickets, and all you had to do is whine!

• Tickets to Antony and the Johnsons were offered up free of charge - what's your special term for naughty bits?

In Politics:

• The Civil Rights Movement and the way it relates to the LGBT struggle now was discussed.

• Portland Mayor Sam Adams' sex life was scrutinized.

Also:

• We gave you a head’s up about some of the things going on this weekend (including the Puppy Bowl!)

• We asked that you be a dear and take our nifty little survey.

• We let you know you're needed.
