We Read The Weeklies

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly. Hey, why is Sucka Free City before the letters this week? Anti-Jewish slurs at Rainbow Grocery. The story behind that weird killing in Hayes Valley you guys got all worked up at us about (blah blah blah, hipsters, blah blah, SFist is racist, blah blah). Cover article: Disbar more lawyers. We are adoring the cautious yet game-for-adventure tone in this Southern Exposure pie delivery service piece! Meredith Brody bills the Weekly for her belly dancer. Hey, SFist Ced liked it! Let's Get Killed on the spate of bands coming in to perform single albums live, including Sonic Youth with Daydream Nation. We find that phenomenon so mysterious. The Bouncer passes along the theory that there are three types of bars in this city: Irish, hipster, and bars with two Asian women behind the bar. Also -- you may have heard the new Weekly web guy is now no longer with the Weekly -- best of luck to you, Matt Stroud! He was super super nice about the Day Around The Baymixup and we were looking forward to getting to know him! more ›

Update on Josh Wolf

Update on Josh Wolf

An event will be held today in yet another effort to Free Josh Wolf. Wolf, of course, is the video blogger/journalist being held in jail for contempt of court for not releasing the hottest video out there that doesn't involve a celebrity having sex with somebody else. And thank God for that but we'd love to see the alleged video of Britney and K-Fed playing chess. more ›

Josh Wolf Receives Bail

Josh Wolf Receives Bail

The 'Gate is reporting that Josh has been granted bail by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, to wit:

In a brief order, two judges of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Wolf was entitled to bail because the government had not shown his appeal of a judge's contempt-of-court ruling was frivolous or intended solely to delay the proceedings...The court said another panel would rule on Wolf's appeal of the contempt order while he is free on bail. If he loses the appeal, he could be sent back to federal prison until the grand jury's term expires next July.
Josh could be free on bail as early as this afternoon. Of course, being in jail hasn't stopped him from posting to his blog via the postal system. While there, he also spoke to everyone from the Bay Guardian to Judith Miller. Videobloggers on the right have chimed in to support the Justice Department's case against Josh, but he can count for his support local well-wishers at numerous benefits, a public statement from Reporters without Borders and a $30,000 grant to defray legal costs from the Society of Professional Journalists. Look for updates from Josh at his blog, reports fellow video bloggers Ryan is Hungry, and the Free Josh Wolf blog for event updates. more ›
