The centerpiece of this week's issue is a seven-page spread highlighting the finalists of our
Masterminds 2010 competition, which awards $2,500 grants to Bay Area artists. You can check out their work -- including indie martial-arts flicks and a sticky, slimy Jesus -- at our
Artopia party tonight in Potrero Hill. Iron that black turtleneck and come on out!
In the news sections,
columnist Matt Smith offers San Francisco politicians his own jobs-creation strategy, free of charge;
Lauren Smiley examines California laws preventing undocumented immigrants from visiting loved ones in prison; and
Benjamin Wachs presents some novel suggestions for how to elect city supervisors. And make sure to check out our new
social media advice columnist Jamie Varon, who this week answers the burning question: When is it okay to go "Facebook-official" in a relationship?
Elsewhere, film critic Nick Pinkerton takes a look at the anguished phantasmagoria of Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, dubbing it the famous director's "most distinctly '50s movie;" Gustavo Arellano analyzes how much more a meal would cost if there weren't Mexican immigrants in the kitchen; and Dan Savage muses on the quandary posed by an old perv who cleans the toilet of his object of affection with a toothbrush -- and then, you know, brushes his teeth. (Don't pretend like you haven't tried it.)
So read our goddamn newspaper -- or else we'll send you to Shutter Island, where many a toothbrush-wielding admirer awaits.
