Okay, we finally got out of the house and picked up a hard copy of the Bay Guardian. And yes -- we're in it! Your SFist editors are right behind the guy making what looks like a less-than sign with his right hand, and right in front of what looks like a giant inflatable beer, on page 53.

As an extra bonus We Read The Weeklies feature this week, we present: The Best of the Bay 2006 party pics -- by the numbers.

Total number of people pictured: 56 (not counting the big picture of all winners).

Minority count: 10 (approx. 20%).

Number of people whose names we recognize: 2 (Bruce Brugmann, and the guy in the banana suit for the Fruit Guys, who introduced himself to us at the party.)

Getty v. Traina: Nil-nil. (Gavin was busy that night.)

Stanlee Gatti mentions: 0.

Number of hats: 13.

Number of people with visible facial makeup: 8.

Number of people not wearing shirts: 8.

Number of pictures which look to us like the photo subjects were engaged in mock sexual activity, but were then artfully cropped by the Guardian's photo department to look less obscene: 1 (of Demetri and Andy, from the Folsom Street Fair).
