Miss Your Commie Girl?

commie.jpgRemember Rebecca Schoenkopf? The Weekly's beloved, wildly popular Commie Girl? Whose column skewered the rich, mega-rich, and other idiots? Who unceremoniously bid our paper adieu in February--and who was unceremoniously booted out of the Weekly offices afterward?

You can always read her oeuvre on this website--or, better yet, buy her first book this summer. Titled Commie Girl in the OC and published by the chingón publisher of radical tomes Verso, Rebecca's book seems to be a collection of her greatest hits at the Weekly, from columns to features and other goodies. We say "seems to be" only because pages in the back of the uncorrected galley her publicist sent us promises more to come.

Congrats, Rebecca (and dig the Mike Davis love!), but just one quibble: Por favor, tweak your cover. The closest Orange County comes to a skyline like that is maybe the South Coast Metro area--but even then, it's all splayed out in accordance to old man Segerstrom's old farm and not so neat 'n' prim.

Have your new editors finished sucking that entire bag of dicks yet?

Thanks for the sweet words, Stavo. I totally agree with you about the cover--and in addition to Verso's using a stand-in for OC's skyline, how about them using a stand-in for ME??

Oh, and what anon is referring to is probably the funniest comment from the thread that arose on this blog after you noted my leaving.

Thanks again. See you at the reading? (I'm assuming there'll be one, and that the girl on the cover of my book--who, again, isn't me--won't be there, since I'm pretty sure she's fictional.)

Even our book has real pictures of Rebecca Schoenkopf. Just what kind of cut-rate publication is this anyway?

Pete Fundy will not be able to make the reading. Unless, of course, someone can guarantee that Stavo will vomit into a urinal.

Warmly yours,

Rebecca: I thought it was a picture of you at first, but your hair is curlier than that. Let us know when your reading is so we can plug it in the paper. As for me attending, I'll make at least one!

Pete: Whenever I've vomited in public, it's ALWAYS in a toilet.
