"Slice me off one of those..."

After a brief DNC-related hiatus, it's the triumphant return of the Westword.com blog shortcut, designed to help you find even more bloggery on this here site...

Plenty on the menu at Cafe Society, including a Taste of Colorado rant courtesy of our own Jared Jacang Maher, a thanks-for-nothing convention message from Shotgun Willie's, an update on Papa John's pizza-shaped crop circle, and a Milking It review of Froot Loops Marshmallow. Toucan Sam would approve.

The Cat's Pajamas disses a Washington, D.C. lobbyist for his poor taste in purses, while Demver wonders what happened to those 40,000 prostitutes who were supposed to descend on the area during the convention, and Backbeat Online provides a comprehensive roundup of last week. Which, at this point, I can hardly remember. -- Michael Roberts
