FREEwilliamsburg: The NEW FREEwilliamsburg

The New York Times made us do it. Last Sunday, in the NYTimes Magazine they declared that bloggers were becoming an important cultural and political voice. Of course, we decided that we MUST follow suit. The Times is always ahead of the curve.

Here's one of our favorite bloggers, Wonkette, discussed in their strangely late-to-the-game article:

In all seriousness, we've decided to go the blog route in order to bring our readers more timely updates. As we have since 1999, we will continue to feature:

-- Interviews
-- Music Reviews
-- Events Listings
-- Politics and media
-- Sausage biscuits
-- Club, Bar, and Restaurant listings
--and of course, random, uneducated stupidity

By morphing into a blog, we will be able to bring information to you quicker, enriching your life and helping to better promote family values on a more timely basis.

Thanks for reading and feel free to send us your thoughts:
send us mail

In the days to come, we'll be featuring interviews with Le Tigre and Radio 4, updates to our bar and restaurant guides, a ferret pictorial, information about our new book, and much more.

Thanks for reading!

To "-" - the latter half of my original posting contained irony.

We'll still be doing music reviews. We'll premiere them on the home page weekly. You can access them all on the link to the right named "music reviews"

Thanks!

Kevin K - Wiccans love us. Especially Wiccan with ferrets

Wonkette is such the posterchild for bloggers...

rynbyn - what are blogs? web-logs = blogs : a daily dairy (if you will) of what's going on...could pertain to any subject matter you're willing to blab about constantly.

jenna - new design is very deck? tsk tsk...didn't the hipster handbook teach you not to say words from 2003? hahaha j/k :)

Are you going to be giving away FREEwilly-branded stress balls or frisbees or leiderhosen to celebrate the new format?

More importantly, did you test this change with Wiccans before the rollout. They are your core audience after all.
