No meeting today. Bum steer apparently.

Agreed on Lambert and the Rake, by the way. Tom has a good opportunity to deepen an a team of alt-weekly all-stars who got their starts in the ’80s and ’90s.

Walsh and his effort to spearhead Wellstone World Music Day were awesome as well. After Walsh left, I thought "only two more folks there who write significant enough stuff worth reading." Now Robson has left, and his excellent political writing with him. Just one left.<br /> <br /> Please don't leave us, Diablo! Perry was a great writer as well as editor.

And I agree that his Timberwolves coverage is fantastic! It's developed into a must-read online at the CP Sports blog. He claims to be a self-inflicted luddite, so when we introduced blogs at CP, he called it a bunch of BS. Gave me the classic, "can't teach an old dog new tricks." But he learned how to publish online and create a discussion on the sports blog. He's a great comments moderator and debater. I would enjoy seeing him do the same with politics.

Walsh's departure will hardly register beyond the bands that were friends with him. But losing Robson does seem signficant. He was versatile, provided the best Wolves coverage of anyone in the TC media and in general wrote well-reported stories. It's true those stories had a point of view (that's the mission of the alt press) --- and in my opinion he made far too many excuses for Keith Ellison's tax/campaign finance troubles --- but he was a really good writer and reporter. City Pages' loss will probably be the Rake's gain. (Look at Lambert; his Rake stuff is twice as good as anything he did for the PiPress.) Robson's byline was, seriously, about the only reason I read City Pages. If Mosedale goes, heck, turn out the lights. The loss of Perry was a good thing for the predictable City Pages as we knew it.
