Volume I, Issue 31
January 5 - January 12, 1998

Yeah, this week's Arts section is a little weird compared to previous Arts sections. So what? You want to read articles about plays and paintings 52 weeks a year? Of course not! So take a look back at some of the creatively crazy articles we published during 1997.

As you'll see when you scroll down a bit, this contents page is chock full of odd, amusing, sometimes hilarious pieces that wouldn't even have a home if it weren't for Weekly Wire's ever-adaptable Arts section. (Note to self: find out what "chock" means, especially if one is full of it.)

Look, for example, at all the Lost in Cyberspace stories we've accumulated thus far. Always based on a particular theme, these lists of stimulating sites reinvigorate the somewhat passe' concept of "surfin' the web." Just make sure you come back after you're done browsing, because we don't want you to miss our Staff Picks for '97, also listed below. We tried to steer towards the more off-the-beaten-path types of articles for that one.

Finally, and most importantly, be sure to scroll to the bottom for a look back at the year's wonderful Speed Eater columns -- a whole new way to experience fast food. I'm not the sort to use words like "scrumptious," but Speed Eater is exactly that. You can't stop at just one.
