IR Coverage in Atlanta Papers
Well the Malaysian Gala did have the AJC on hand. The social columnist says . . . never mind that social columns are a ridiculous holdover from white-glove deb days, but . . . uh, the social columnist says there was a bazaar on,
"Guests arrived to a splendid array of unique items, arranged market style, in
one of the banquet rooms. Marianne Brooks was trying on a pair from Adeline
Yong's collection of hand-painted silk shoes. Keiko Yamakawa was considering a
turquoise necklace at Afshan Ishtiaq's booth of jewelry. Fabian De Rozario,
co-founder and president of the Malaysian Association of Georgia, worked the
room to welcome everyone, as Li Wong, publisher of the Georgia Asian Times, took
in the scene."
Meanwhile, Creative Loafing has a foreign-policy cover story by a local-boy analyst. Cheers to CL for employing a prescient foreign policy writer. Jeers for it being Andisheh Nouraee, whose tone is much more suited to his concert/scene review column. The jaded-hipster slang paired with the habit of trying to include a joke or hyperbole in every sentence keeps us turning straight to News of the Weird.
We may be alone here -- he does keep getting voted best columnist.
