Day Around The Bay
Did anything happen at all in the San Francisco Bay Area today? All we've been doing is monitoring the Paris Hilton back to jail news! MOOOOOOM!!!!!
--Beer and wine are okay for the North Beach Festival next week, but no hard alcohol.
--More folks are getting laid off from the Chronicle. The Chron has launched a Portraits In Grief-like feature.
--The Special Olympics are in Berkeley this weekend.
--An old theater on Market Street (the Strand) caught on fire yesterday.
--Someone sent Beth Spotswood an excellent picture of Gavin Newsom next to a guy dressed up as a bottle of tequila last Halloween.
--The SF Weekly's Hiya Swanhuyser goes to some totally fun shows!
--And not to be outdone, the Guardian gives you the lowdown on open bars around town.

"Portraits in Grief-like feature" is an extremely cruel characterization of the pages SFGate has put up, but unfortunately it's too accurate. Phil Bronstein is creepy in ways I don't even want to think about.
This is too much. I absolute feel badly for those who are laid off in this profession or any profession for that matter, but this just typifies why the journalistic profession is so screwed up. They can be extremely self-righteous and self-absorbed. It is not the internet or the traditional paper that has resulted in this breakdown, rather, their lightweight biased reporting which has turned off so many citizens of this city.
It's Saturday Morning. Do you know where Ed Jew slept last night?
