City Paper loves your Bitchin’

Whilst perusing the latest issue of Bitch, I caught a letter to the editor from the City Paper’s own Wendy Ward:

“I kinda thought I’d send you a letter about content at some point, but instead I’m writing you cuz you rock wid letters. I work at the Baltimore City Paper and love our mail page because it means folks are not just reading us, but caring enough to respond. You all give column after column — which I know means a lot to editorial cuz you gots to give it up — to the mail readers send in. I appreciate it and it is a perfect way to cocktail my way into the meal that is every issue of Bitch. “Dear Bitch” is the aperitif to the yummy issues I look forward to.”

I, too, love how seriously Baltimoreans take their City Paper. I was even mentioned in the MAIL section one time:

Boy, I bet you hear all about your crummy picks the week after your Best of Baltimore edition comes out. My gripe is with your “Best Local Online Addiction” [That was me, Supafine] and why you didn’t recognize the guys over on Madison Avenue (www.rebuildingmadison.info) who are fighting the good fight. …

See? I was a crummy pick! Famous twice over.

Anyway. Another quality issue of Bitch [pick up Bust too, while you’re at it] and some love for Baltimore from the CP. Who doesn’t love independent media?
