Lotta activity on Capp Street lately: not only was a man caught beating and trying to strangle a woman around 15th and Capp, but a few weeks earlier, the SFFD found a pot farm on fire two blocks down, in the same building as the Space 180/Locus Arts gallery (where Kim-Shree Maufas and Jane Kim had their school board election party.)

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.

SFist Jon's having computer woes, so we're covering all the rest of the races here too.

More art tonight!

Maybe Kim Deal'll show up too -- Bassists Krist Novoselic and Matt Gonzalez (pictured to your left, shredding at a Jane Kim fundraiser) are hosting a fundraising event from 5:30-8 p.m. tonight to support Oakland's Measure O, which would institute ranked-choice voting in Oakland just like they've got in San Fran.

Sasha dishes the news about TechConnect -- RFP deadline went by without so much as a press conference. Big news is that Google and Earthlink have teamed up, and that Houston's recent WiFi RFP was made public (The City threatened to sue when theirs was leaked). Francisco De Costa claims a victory after the public forum on Bayview redevelopment. San Jose Inside's Single Gal takes a look at the six folks who want Ron Gonzalez' job. And Pepper offers some analysis on the reports that Herr Governator's rising in the polls again.

Rarely a day late, always a few dollars short.

on hold -- because the invited city officials are becoming more and more uncomfortable with the fact that Ford voted yes on the Marriage Protection Act of 2004 (defining marriage as a heterosexual institution; Ford was one of only 36 Democrats who voted for it). Gavin "he's got game" Newsom, the original party co-chair, is now all like, "uhhh.... err.... I didn't know he'd voted yes on the bill when I agreed to host." Kamala Harris has suddenly discovered that her schedule is kind of booked as well (though it looks like Willie Brown's still game -- that guy does love a party, it's true). And Bubble Lounge manager Jane Kim (probably not the same Jane Kim that ran for school board -- but hey, you never know) is now like, I'm not sure if I'd rent the space to someone against gay marriage. Ford's all like, I don't care (reg. req.). He's never met Gavin Newsom, says plenty of people don't mind his opposition to gay marriage, and he's raising lots of money from everyone (else) anyways. "He's not an (eligible) voter for me. Gavin Newsom has his politics in San Francisco and I have mine in Tennessee." He's rated a "moderate liberal," despite voting yes on school prayer, yes on abortion restrictions, and yes on the war.

The next time you complain about how busy you are, take a look at Jane Kim's packed schedule. Between her job as youth program director at the Chinatown Community Development Center, her position as co-director and co-founder of Locus Arts, and her many volunteer and philanthropic activities, she has somehow found the time to run for the San Francisco District School Board.

The League of Pissed Off Voters continues with their 40 Parties in 40 Days (though we're now only at a fortnight more of parties) with a big Thursday-night bash.
