Retired Material

Considered Connoisseur: From April 8 to May 4

Did I hear right? WILL SWAIM: The Marxist who wanted to be a priest after high school, but who was also in a punk band and then ended up editing business magazines after college? That’s what I think I heard Will Swaim (the editor in chief at the District Weekly, thankyouverymuch) say over the weekend at a journalism conference. And thank the divine superpowers for leading him into the writing world, or the alternative press more precisely, or else…? Or else! I’m not sure Long Beach would be as cool a place without this colorful little thing, the District Weekly. We all have Swaim to thank for starting it all about a year ago. Lets all help them celebrate the occasions this
Friday! (More details on that at thedistrictweekly.com/.) Congratulations!
