TNG: In Case You Missed It – 2/6/09

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

Welcome to the weekend, everybody! I don't know about you, but to me it's been long in coming. The first week of February brought us calls for snow, but not much of the white stuff, and some seriously cold mornings and days. But things are looking up! Thanks to my father in NY who calls regularly to tell me what the Weather Channel says the weather will be like in DC, I know we're in for a warm-up this weekend! But, in the midst of all of your fair-weather frolicking, you want to pause and get caught up on some quality reading, we've got you covered.

So here, just for you, is the best of the best and the most talked about posts from this very site from this past week, just in case you missed it. Peruse away!

This week:

• TNG reader Mike submitted A Totally Gay Poem. Got a queer poem or anyhting else you'd like to share - send it along!
