Who, for fuck’s sake, are the Methane Sisters? In many of those cases, there were four or more winners for a spot, which makes it impractical to list them all, and starts to dilute the purpose of the readers’ poll. In most cases it means that there were more than three winners for the second- and/or third-place spots.


Why do some categories have second and third-place winners, and others only list first place? If we use your suggested category, you’ll get an invitation to next year’s Best of SA party. You can suggest categories for 2009 by emailing Elaine Wolff at. While we try to be as comprehensive as possible, there’s not enough room or time to include every possible category, and we try to mix it up a little each year, too, so this annual issue stays fresh. You left out ice cream and head shops, dammit! Refer to our masthead, page 6, and add MJ=Mark Jones to that list. You can tell who wrote a Critic’s Pick by the initials at the end of the item. The Readers’ Picks stories were written by the Current’s editorial staff, with the help of regular freelancers Ron Bechtol and Mark Jones. Who wrote the little articles after each pick? Our goal is to create a fairly comprehensive guide to the best our city has to offer, based on your wisdom and biases. Best of SA gives you the opportunity to tell your fellow residents what you think - in aĬollective, quasi-democratic fashion. The Current’s critics get to flip our thumbs up and down all year long. Why are there so many more readers’ picks this year?
