Website of the Week
McSweeney's Internet Tendency www.mcsweeneys.net
McSweeney's, the internet home of Dave Eggers' publishing house, is a compendium of satire and parody, written by a wide-ranging chorus of today's literary and comedic geniuses, both famous and unknown. Often thought of as an upscale/geekish counterpart to The Onion, we posit that it's the new New Yorker magazine. Written by mildy-unhinged people. McSweeney's Internet Tendency www.mcsweeneys.net
While you're there, check out the links to Believer Magazine, the 826 charities, and this hysterical article by friend-of-the-fest Rachel Klein: The People in an Olive Garden Commercial Share Their Existential Pain.
