Week In SFist

Hope you had a good July 4 this week! Namely, we hope you didn't come anywhere near Joey Chestnut's 2nd place hot dog eating contest finish at your barbecues of choice.

It was a week of transit woes -- Caltrain fares going up, inconvenient MUNI routes, and BART breakdowns. It wasn't any better on the roads, either -- some drag-racing teenage girl killed two members of the Tongan royal family in a car accident in Menlo Park too.

In other news, who's going to win How To Get The Guy? We'll never know! Also, be sure to check out our Clarks: this week, we talked to both Larry Clark (of Wassup Rockers) and Clark Kepler (of Kepler's Books).

And finally -- happy birthday, Butterstick!
