Seattle, Weakly

Text of an email received by TtP favorite Philip Dawdy, from an interim Seattle Weekly editor.

"...frankly, if you were up to visiting some massage parlors to see if certain practitioners would finish you off, that's the sort of street-level expose i'd be up for running. but i'd never force you to do that."

Dawdy took a pass. A week later, he quit.

Unless you're Cicero -- or a cop -- you quit. Good for Dawdy.

Happy ending here at Gawker. Damning state-of-alt-weeklies Boston Phoenix piece, the focal point of the Gawker post, here.
