Here's your Metro Weekly Sneak Peek for Jan. 24, 2008:

COVER STORY | M.A.L. 2008
Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend, which the Centaur Motorcycle Club has produced for the past 24 years, is the second largest of its kind, attracting upwards of 2,000 people from all over the world. Eighty-five leather and fetish clubs were represented at this year's event, including the DC Bear Club, the Great North American Wolf Society and the Indiana Falcons. Doug Rule provides a report from Leather Coctails and the Mr. MAL contest, and Ward Morrison delivers a collection of stunning photographs depicting the weekend in all its leatherbound glory.

ARTS SPOTLIGHT | Bowled Over
Doug Bowles may not be the only gay conductor in town, but in the genre of swing and big-band music, he's pretty sure he's one of only a few openly gay bandleaders in metropolitan Washington. By Yusef Najafi

FILM | Randy Shulman
For all the fuss and pre-release furor, Cloverfield doesn't amount to much more than a very well-produced novelty.

STAGE | Tom Avila
Powered by a remarkable cast, Glory Days is about something very simple, very tangible and absolutely universal.

STAGE | Kate Wingfield
With Argonautika, Mary Zimmerman brings alive Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece with a perfect blend of pizzazz and storytelling.

MUSIC | Tim Swoape
Nicole Reynolds' new album, This Arduous Alchemy, is steeped in regret, betrayal, and loneliness, with a dash of hope and romanticism.

Clublife | Blowoff at Five
According to indie rock musician Bob Mould, this Saturday's Blowoff will "probably just be the usual really good fun, the really sexy party, the great crowd that we always draw." In other words, nothing special -- except that it marks the monthly party's fifth anniversary to the date.
