Arts Squid Ink

Posted by BETHANY JEAN CLEMENT on April 25 at 16:02 PM

One Mike Seely, a Seattle Weekly staff writer and a man who once sent me a box of frozen squid in a professional context—as an act of vengeance or a joke, I couldn’t quite tell—writes to ask what our restaurant reviewing policies are. Mr. Seely, in answer to your queries, we restaurant reviewers here at The Stranger dine anonymously, we are reimbursed for our dining expenses, and the number of times we visit each establishment varies. Thank you for your interest. Packages may be sent c/o The Stranger, 1535 11th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122.

FYI, Seely is going to be the new SW editor.

Make sure to keep any and all napkins away from the owners of the New Times.

You're full of shit SWer. Take it from me, Seely is not going to be the mayor of your dull, shit-rag. He's not Lacey style. Yea, he's AZ's eyes and ears and he gets points for being a doofus fratboy but they'll move up some looser yes-man editor from Pitch weekly who has "news chops" to shore things up (ie fire you SWer).
But the very drunk Mike L. needs to first hire an ed for the VV which (word has it) will happen soon.

Whatever they decide to do, the Seattle Weekly certainly sucks these days.

I think Seely has put together some great stories that keep the reader on edge but still entertained. Glad he is back in Seattle because Seattle's papers need some edge.
