Though the now-infamous Jim Rose Circus got its start in Seattle in the early Nineties (Rose still owns a house south of the city in which he periodically resides), it's been quite a while since Rose brought his sideshow revival through town for a performance. The last record we could find of a show was from 1999. We asked Rose when he was last here to perform, who thought about it for a minute before replying, "Fuck, I don't remember, man."

Brian Keith Brown, the man accused of killing a Rainier Beach gardener with a single punch, pled not guilty today to second-degree murder charges. The hearing was brief, reportedly taking only five minutes, but it's just the beginning of what is sure to be a long and emotional case. Brown will be tried later this year, where we imagine an objective jury could be difficult to find. Until trial, he'll remain in jail. He's been forbidden by the judge to have contact with the three women also involved in the traffic altercation, including his girlfriend.
